Those are all of my jobs I think (at least all the ones I've paid taxes for :ph34r:).

I also co-owned a tiny multimedia production company during college which never really turned a profit, which somehow acquired a local screen-printing business that did. I only did work as an editor though, and as an owner I was not paid :glare:
