How Many Jobs Have You Had?

I’m part of a small little four person text crew with my brother Steve, Chuck from Trivia Mafia and my best friend Steve. Between this blog and that text chain, that’s why I feel alright being off of social media. Recently Steve asked how jobs each of us have had. I guessed about fifteen and I think I was right. I left out significant freelance stuff. . .like Heiruspecs, Dessa, Trivia Mafia. None of those things are in there. But all of those “jobs” served as my primary income for some years of my life. So those are off. I think the only freelance work I identified as a job was writing for City Pages. It felt a lot like a job, so I’m leaving it on there. So boom, here’s the 15 jobs I’ve worked.
