RIGHT?!? :-D

When I was launching my marketing agency, I didn't have many clients at first, so had to pick up other jobs on the side that didn't interfere with my availability during normal business hours to meet with clients.

One of those was being the Ghost Tour Guide in Pike Place Market (nights, from 5-11:PM), and the other was a customer service rep on the phone for Door-2-Door Moving and Storage. It's one of those "pod" companies that delivers a container to your house, you fill it up, then they come take it away and put it in a warehouse. I worked the morning shift from 6:AM to noon, 3 or 4 days a week.

I was there for about 9 months or so, until they fired me for clicking the wrong button on the account screen one day. For the 5 previous months I had been Employee of the Month.

Absolutely brilliantly run company. NOT.
