Qx: Printer, bike messenger, prospector, trapper, and other sundry things in order to keep food on the table. Of course to use this as leverage in a debating room such as this is a crutch which you've amply demonstrated by your referring to your father's life. At least my resume isn't the conventional tripe listing off previous management positions.
