I had a mis-spent summer during college in my own private Idaho during which I was alternately a Cat Driver, a Stick Man, a Pond Monkey, a Choke Setter and a Faller. I've only ever made out one formal resume, but you can be sure that all of these were listed, just for their conversational value. (As it happens, I did get paid for all of the former experiences, but I would have done them for free just for the story rights.) |
