The list four me.
Four Jobs I've Had:
1. XXX XXXXX Casting: I was partners in a casting company that casted films and T.V. It was not so interesting and kind of sad. I lost a lot of respect for actors. The strangest experience I had working for this person was during the film WILD ORCHID 2. There was a woman who was booked to do full body nude with some bodily contact by another woman. She ended up getting the crap beat out of her the night before the shoot by her “Boyfriend” I had to recast this at 5 a.m. on a Saturday. Now This was no easy task The shoot was Downtown Los Angeles in a seedy hotel. “Hi good morning, I know its early but I was wondering if you’d like to come to this motel downtown and pretend to lick pussy for 500 bucks.”
2. JC PENNEY Catalog: “Thank you for calling JC Penney Catalog, Your last name and home phone number please.” That’s how I learned about the world. Listening to people when they ordered. Listening to how much they didn’t make sense. How much they needed to reach out. How I was changing the world.
Part of me died at that job.
The one opening line of an order I’ll never forget:
“I need long pants because my husband urinates.”
3. Waldenbooks. I worked in a local mall. It was horrible. I worked with a kid who was stealing from the register. They pegged the thefts down to either him or me. Loss prevention was called in to interview us. I was livid. The lil kid cracked and confessed to stealing cash. I’ll never forget the loss prevention chick asking me “Have you ever caused the store a monetary loss?”
“Yes. You’re here to talk to me right? You flew in from corporate to talk to me? Your wasting your time and their money. I didn’t do anything. I guess I’m to blame for that? “
4. Pooch light operator. I got to hold the “pooch” light. It’s the light that stays with the camera during a porn. It usually the only source of light during those extreme close-ups. Oddly I think more of me died during my years at JC Penney Catalog.

Interesting collection of jobs. I'm still confused about the long pants :)
I am too. Years later I am too.
This is by far not the complete list just a random four.
J C Penny's!
Monkey Ward baby myself, except I sold shoes!
STB
Ha ha! Great list, it looks like I 4got a couple of categories....oops.
The top of my list of movies I can watch over and over is the karate kid, I wonder what that says about me?
j.b.
Your a big pat morita fan?
I was just thinking about this:
"Hi good morning, I know its early but I was wondering if you’d like to come to this motel downtown and pretend to lick pussy for 500 bucks."
They didn't actually lick pussy? WHat, they CG that in later? I'd think it was more like "...I was wondering if you’d like to come to this motel downtown and pretend to enjoy licking pussy for 500 bucks."
...and that's so much better for the performer; they upgrade from "prop" to "actor."
