Let's see, let's start at the beginning, shall we? *consults resume* Some of these are volunteer positions, but I think I've got all my jobs here.

Flyer Delivery
Hoo boy, this was fun. But then again, it was like, in 1990. So I was 11. It wasn't even real newspaper delivery, it was just the flyers. It was cool, tho - we had to combine them much like newspaper sections, and we got a printout every week telling us which houses to distribute them to - if anyone didn't want them, we would call the company and they would remove them from the list for the next week. And to make it even better, it listed the evens then the odds, so I didn't have to criss-cross across the street. It was simple and easy. Both me and Seanna did it until it folded into the newspaper delivery section.

Snow Shovelling / Senior Assistant
It started out as "Snow Connections", where able-bodied students would shovel driveways for seniors, then became "Four Seasons Connections" where we would mow lawns, rake leaves, and do a lot of the everyday chores around the house to help people. I had a couple of really nice people (whom I did a lot of odd jobs with) and a couple of kinda-evil people, and I even got recommended once or twice by the nice people and got more clients that way :)

CG Operator
I volunteered my time at Rogers for 6 years working on one specific show - Swap Shop - and I got so proficient with the Inscriber Computer Graphics program that I became the Guru for the system. I later designed some graphics for Lemon-Aid (Auto Talk), but Swap Shop was my baby. I wonder if they're still using my templates, and if they've been horribly mangled ;P

Retail Floor / Cashier / Cash Office
I think you all know what job this was. XD This was my position at Canadian Tire, where I worked initially in the Housewares department, then moved to do Cash as well when I wanted more hours over the summer, then moved into the Cash Office when they asked. :) It was a slow progression, but I learned a lot about the system in the five years I was there. I would go back to doing the Cash Office too. I liked working with numbers. And giant stacks of bills. :P

Green Room Coordinator
CTV needed some extra volunteers to organize their Comedy Awards, and so I volunteered and worked the Green Room. It was fun; I ran into so many comedians it was incredible. Colin Mochrie is a giant compared to me. :D I'd love to go back there, too - it was an incredible night.

Camera Operator
One year while at Centennial, Canada First called the college and wanted to have some volunteers do camera work for the Robot Biathalon. I'm not a very steady cameraman, and I was stuck with a consumer-grade camera that kept shutting off every 5 minutes, but it was still a lot of fun! That's probably the closest I've been to a whole bunch of robots, designed to navigate a maze and shoot targets. I would really like to be a camera person for Robot Wars... :)

"Go-Fer" / Co-Op / Master Control
This was my U8TV position, which later became a Master Control position there, as well. I was working so much here that I couldn't work Housewares during the week at CT, and decided to only work weekends at the Cash Office at CT. I was going to quit CT around mid-April 2002, and that's when we heard that U8TV was closing. Made my choice really easy. :P

Master Control / Programming / Personnel Scheduling
You all know what this position is, too. When U8TV closed down, I put my resume online to MediaJobSearchCanada.com and within a few weeks, I was offered a position with Inner Peace TV, which has since become Salt + Light TV. Yesterday Father Tom had a nice positive meeting with everyone and he called me a "nice Protestant boy" for helping out whenever help is needed. XD

- snicked from andora who gacked it from epi_lj.

And, an interesting article that forsees the videogame crash of 2005.

And there's work of a Homestar Runner game - for the Atari 2600. Once the game's completely they're actually going to burn it to an Atari ROM Cartridge. XD

And one more thing, a little while ago there were reports of movie tickets for The Passion bearing the Mark of the Beast - 666 - as part of a computerized code, and as such, people were complaining. O.o
