43.Waitress (haha), (worked at a gay-bar in By-ward Market in Ottawa, Ont, once. I was late in searching coming back home from school. Regardless, a patron (older man) kept calling me, Mary, while I was there. No, I am not gay. I have many close friends who are. And the first people to show me ‘True Love/ Care’ outside of my family were lesbians…I have no qualms with another person, cuz I am cool with me. Same as you, right? No mystery.) I needed to pay for my schooling. Plus an excellent human nature social behaviour experience. People are people. And I could from that job totally understand how women feel being harassed (not that I ever did) by vulgar men.

72.Bon-afide Actor, Actra / UBCP Member (30+ films and series productions) (Now although Marrett cannot act, he is one helluv a news-anchor / reporter. No acting necessary. It’s just him. Yes type-casted, but okay with helping pay the bills. Had a 50K (lawyer) divorce bill to pay at the time the offers started. I never once got a role because of an ‘audition’. I was always casted from my demo reel. Yes it was easy money, everyone called me to be news reporter…because that’s what I do. I tell the news. ‘Give me 30 seconds and I’ll change your world’. And of course I never accepted any nudity offers. Yes, there were a couple nudity role offers sent to my agent, and personal inquiries made to me. Son of Jamaican pastor, and my mother still alive…not a chance. Wait for the memoir). 
73.Junior Draughtsman, City of Ottawa Civil Engineering Department
(Co-op position. I was given the opportunity to draw two municipal roads: Sheffield Rd. and Hereford Rd sewer systems. There might have been a third. Grateful for the early experience to know the job/ duties – my first exposure to ‘the office’ environment. Regardless of industry, all offices have the same dynamics. Don’t know if you will read this Tony (or Mary), but youse were fun to watch at play. The CAD system was just coming in then, and I could see it taking all the fun out of using drafting-pens and mylar, and I knew I would be looking for something else to calm my mind. So I decided to try architectural drawings.)
74.Architectural Draftsperson, JK Joast & Associates – (Co-op, worked on other peoples’ drawings. Less than inspiring position/ duties, drawing other people’s designs. Still, they were very nice designs…no doubt…just that they were not my designs, and would not be for a very long time – if that’s what I decided to do. Thankfully I decided against that career path. Still, absolutely great people to work with/ for. Most Grateful.)
75.(Unexpected) Busker (with Lou Djembe), Vancouver, BC, Canada. People just insist on giving me money when I play. Thank Goodness they appreciate it. My favourite story thus far: I am playing in Stanley Park on a bench away from the seawall, and a little guy (~10 yrs) comes up to me handing over a twoonie saying, “My dad said to give this to you.” So I replied as graciously as I could, ‘Please tell your dad I am not playing for money. I am playing to make people happy.’
The little guy drops the twoonie on the bench beside me and says, ‘It’s yours now, buddy. Deal with it.’ And walks away. I still laugh. Bless ‘im. :).

76.Car Windshield Washer, Ottawa, Ontario (Auto-sky Drive-in). Summer (fuun) job.
77.Convenience Store Clerk, Mac’s Milk, Ottawa, Ontario (started smoking cigarettes here…long boring nights. Yes, I quit.)
