Work Work Work

'Work, Work, Work' is my educational and work autobiography. I have written this for my children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. I have worked for twenty different employers from the age of sixteen to twenty-six and ten different employers from twenty-six to thirty-six and one from thirty-six till the present. I start my autobiography with my very first job at seven years old. Over a thirty-year period, I worked for employers in the following positions: laborer, custodian, janitor, painter, USPS postal clerk, bakery production worker, auto assembly line worker, newspaper salesman, gas station attendant, overhead crane operator, plastic extruder machine operator, freight train brakeman, electrician apprentice, journeyman electrician, respiratory therapist at ten different hospitals as staff therapist, shift supervisor, and assistant direct of respiratory department. My last employer was Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (Metro) were I worked as an AA electrical mechanic. I have not mentioned every job I have ever had. I have not mentioned jobs that I didn't get paid for. I have done many jobs for no pay and will continue to do so, in sha Allah. I do these jobs, fi sabilillah, for the Pleasure of Allah (SWT). Also, I didn't mention all my educational pursuits. None of the jobs I have mentioned in this short autobiography is who I am. I continue to educate myself and try ways to be a better person. I am not defined by any of my jobs! I am a work in progress!
