Bartender at a Hotel Bar. Yeah, they pay was lousy...but the "fringe benefits" made up for it. :D

As some of you know I own and operate a Silkscreen & computerized embroidery shop for the last 15 or so years. Up until 3 years ago we did Custom Airbrushing. A local "gentlemens club" Hired us to airbrush all his strippers to look like statue's. WOW! 25 naked girls and they really really did look like statues once we were finished. Usually i'm a fast airbrusher but i slowed down to make sure my work was perfect:)

I have two great jobs.  Chief bottle washer at my pizza shack and software quality manager for good software.

I can't think of a better job I've ever had.  There have been moments, like some of the shows I got as a pizza delivery driver and all the free nachos I could jam down my gullet when I cleaned at a restaurant.....  but the current work is best.

Bartender at several popular restaurants around the Seattle area:
Garcia's of Scottsdale
Salty's at Redondo
El Torito at the Kingdom
Shennanigans


Ahhh, the days of wine, women and song. As a bartendar, you get to pick from the flock.

Hourly wage was roughly $6.50 an hour (in the 80's) but tips were about $75 a night avg.

One summer when I was in college, Dinger got me a job beta testing computer and video games.  We would come in, BS for a couple of hours, play "work" games for a few hours, dictate some bug reports, drink a bunch of soda, then play "fun" games the rest of the day.  The best was when the "work" games were also fun.  Most weren't, e.g. the port of Double Dragon to Atari 2600.  But occasionally the work games were great, like Sim City or Military Madness.
