• While transporting patients to and from various tests, I add another human element to their stay in our Hospital. We speak of things present, such as their experience as our patient and their life outside. We discuss the past battles they've overcome, and we talk about the future and what may be on ahead for them. Currently, I train new transporters in the art of safety and patient comfort. How a warm blanket and kind word might make the difference between someone refusing an exam and a successful rehabilitation. I teach them to think critically about each transport. To always be present and conscious of each individual patients unique needs during our visit with them. Above all, I remind them that safety and kindness are the transporters medicine, and to administer generously!

• While washing dishes during the dinner/bar rush I would chop 50-100 pounds of potatoes, blanch them and simultaneously prep hamburger meat for the cooks (while also taking out all the trash in the building). It was fast paced, hard work and I was rewarded with 4 raises in 5 months.

• Managed our booth by setting up merchandise, cleaning merchandise and displaying merchandise in an appealing location.

Before our stock went to our booth, I would sand down, polish, paint or even rebuild furniture, brass statues and other vintage or antique pieces.

The first step is going to the auction, either in person or online, and bidding on items. This requires quite a bit of patience and tenacity.

Once you bid the highest, you must retrieve your bounty. You quickly learn how to play the hardest game of Tetris, both in the difficult shapes and the weight of said shapes. Physical labor is 40-50% of the job.
