I've done so many jobs, that I can't recount them all:
Fast food joints, driving a forklift on the docks at McCormick Place, delivering flowers, stocking shelves, etc...

But right now, I'm a Copywriter for the W.W. Grainger catalog -- they're an Industrial Supply company and, I believe a Fortune 500 organization.

My eyes aren't 100% awake yet, & I initially read this as being "deceiving flowers" . For a second I was wondering what all that entailed. :?
