Past job: Unemployed.
Current job: Homework Centre Facilitator with Tri-County Literacy (basically means I run weekly workshops that help kids who're having trouble in school).
(I'm thinking of getting a T-shirt with Jayne's "If I wanted schoolin' I'd'a gone to school!" line. 
)
Career ambition: Writer for an ongoing series (novels, comics, movies, games, TV, you name it, I just want something that gives me room for long-term character growth [which is what got me hooked on Joss in the first place]).
Dream job: Head writer on a Transformers TV series. Soooooo many ideas (and the pre-determined cast [i.e., toys only] would help keep me focussed), and I could do so much better than the pile of go-se Hasbro's been feeding us for the last three years.
Though, really, a rock could probably do better than TF:Energon. . .

We're talking about jobs now?
I've had many. Let's see.
Started out as a babysitter. At college I worked at a library shelving books (incredibly boring, but I knew the Dewey Decimal System like the back of my hand), worked at an office doing filing and typing and various odd jobs and worked at a shoe store (the one that sold the crazy dancer shoes.) Also did the occasinal odd job like more babysitting, helping out in the cafeteria (I can operate those industrial dishwashers) and banquets (serve on the right, clear on the left) and doing a telephone fundraiser where I called people and asked them to donate to our scholarship fund. (Horrible! Never again.)
When I was forced to drop out of college, I worked as the assistant manager of the shoestore until it became untolerable and then I quit and was homeless for a month or so (pretty crappy summer I had) until I got a job as a live in nanny.
Was a nanny for 3 years, took a year off and worked at a bakery while doing some part time nannying and various odd jobs to make ends meet. Then a friend and I moved to Fl and I got another job as a nanny.
Did that for 3 years until the child went to daycare and then I worked at Barnes & Noble and did some part-time nannying and other jobs, I spent a week working at a Pepperidge farms factory stacking boxes of crackers on pallets and did some boring officey stuff. Then I found a full-time job as a Customer Sales Representative at a catalogue company and went back to school part time.
Then, I quit there because I was going to go back to school full-time, but I ended up moving here to help out my grandparents and spent the first 7 months working temp jobs. I spent a couple of days working on a tree farm, I spent 2 weeks making copies for an auditor. I worked at a dialysis clinic (I'm so blood and needle phobic, it was really scary for me.) and I worked at this computer software company owned and run by CRAZY people before finding this job. I'm the adminstrator at my church and I love it. Mostly.
As for the future job: I want to go back to school and get my degree in linguistics and become a bible translator. I want to travel to far and exotic places and learn and preserve previously unwritten languages.

Jobs past and present I'd rather not discuss. My day job is the last thing I want to think about when I'm here.

Egh. If I brought on any bad memories for anyone with the whole jobs topic, I cry your pardon. I was simply trying to get some (read: any) kind of new conversation going.

Orpheus: We have common aspirations. My dream project is the Dekalogy (10 volume series) Mission Earth By L. Ron Hubbard. Problems with this....each book has so much detail that is essential to the story, there'd have to be 10 full movies. Battlefield Earth was sooooo bad, I'd likely not convince anyone to give this a go.
I read the whole thing twice. Once in high school, once in college. Surprisingly there is a soundtrack of 8 songs for the books written by L. Ron Hubbard and performed by Edgar Winter.

Orpheus: Not harm no foul, the question wasn't indiscreet, you had no way of knowing. Oh by the way you have to be careful where you pass out, back in the nook.
JH: Edgar Winter is cool. I'm kind of leery about L. Ron Hubbard though.

Not for you? What sort of animation did you do?
I've got a bsc in Computer Science aimed mainly toward Game development and 2D/3D animation.
