113.  I don't know where to begin
I started out in 1966 and year before that wanting to be in a blues /rock band and liked that . But every single job since then sucked .

I liked driving a van in 1970 delivering parts to job sites because I was on my own all day witha radio playing .

I worked in factories with no windows either packing tractor parts to be shipped over seas and I worked in one warehouse which was so horrid that by the first break I thought it had to be time to go home and I did , left and never returned .

The most resent was driving my car for a messenger service from 10 pm to 6 am after having a 12 year long job as a manager at a large car dealership , that messenger job was the worst of all , the absolute worst , sitting and waiting for the next call which could be 2 hours of more trying to kill time is the worst plus being looked at being 58 as a complete loser where people did not even acknowledge your existence .

I should have stuck with the bands and just sucked it up when music changed but I hated doing the new crap or pay to play or sell tickets to play .

I wasted 33 year working for auto dealerships when I hated cars but for some odd reason I was good at it , it was more the problem solving making people happy that got me through , customer service even though some people were assholes I was able to gain their trust and I have no idea why .

Now I am nothing and a no body for what that's worth and have no interest in these new servive jobs and I am no high tech person .
