Where/when did you work while at ISU?
- Thread starter DJK15
- Start date
I'll only be in the office doing dispatch so I won't be risking my life out on the battlefield.Hopefully I'll be able to have access to the actual ticket information. Give me a leg up on making friends and what not when I casually mention I can get them out of a ticket.
I'm sure people would rather beat the crap out of the parking divison guys then cops. Seriously the $15.00 fines are redick.
97-02 rec services/intramural ref/supervisor
I was the guy who got all of the equipment ready for the sports. painted lines, got jerseys washed, and got to drive around all day in state vehicles, it was a pretty sweet job. met lots of people and had some really great times, any employee of rec services knows what an awesome staff they had to work for.

Yes given the choice, would you rather beat up a cop or a parking division guy, i'm sure 100% would say parking division. Because cops have a gun!!! duh!

2000- Blimpie Subs on Welch
2001-2002 Ag Dept. Forage Breeding Dept- Summer work outside was pretty good. Learned a lot. Winter lab work with cattle rumen tests sucked.
Didn't care to learn at that point.
2000-2003 DPS Parking--Enjoyed it for the most part. Met some great people there and we could drink with the best of them. there was a reason fewer tickets were wrote on Friday mornings. Plus driving the Help-Van was the best. By my senior year I had seniority and got to do that the most. Didn't write tickets and got to escort the bawling girls that got their cars towed to the impound lot. I wonder if any of their parents actually did kill them :smile:

i was a waiter at various times in the ladies dorms and in some of the sororities-i got all of my meals that way.
i worked 4 years in the basement of the old botany hall doing state lab tests on crop seeds for germination tests. the process was set up by george washington carver and i think they have used those tests since dr. carver
developed their tests. i also took the seed samples and calculated the noxious weed content.
periodically i worked in the beef and hog barns with goerge edwards and al christian in the swine barn.if you were around george edwards in the beef barn and had a car and it was about 9 am in the morning, george would always say,"lets go down town for a beer".so we would go downtown for some suds early in the morning.
i also worked parttime in the agronomy department irrad iating oat seeds
for dr. frey. also i had a job in the agronomy department popping popcorn for professor doctor deac eldridge-he lived to be about 93 and 94 and developed most of the popcorn lines we have in the us. orville redenbacher and old deac were very good friends and redenbacher would visit deac every year.
when i went back to iowa state to get my doctorate, i worked for one of the hittle sisters in the dining room in oak hall. another friend and i mopped the floors in oak in less tha a half hour per night.miss hittle,who was a sister of the hittle lady that ran the friley hall eatery ,were old maid sisters. the one in the ladies dorms was a very wonderful person to work for. i had worked for her as an undergraduate.
i had a couple of jobs at the memorial union as a cashier and in the bowling alley setting up pins.
i wrestled for harold nichols and my best job was working in the seed testing lab. i could get quite a workout there because dr carver set up the seed testing in a bed of sand. we had to take the sand and put at least one to 1 1/2 gravel trucks worth of sand into two furnaces and pasteurize it b4 it was used again. then you would put the sand on some troughs of wood and plant the seeds for testing.you wou ld get a fine workout scooping that sand into a wheelbarrell and loading it into one of two furnaces. after the sand was pasteurized it was put onto the troughs to plant the seeds for germination tests.
the fellow that was the director for the seed testing lab was a german immigrant that was named sigmund seasman-he was a very pleasant
fellow to work for and he taught me all of the naughty german words,because once in awhile his botany boss would get him excited so i learned some nice german words from him. i did learn a little german linguistics when i was an undergrad.

I worked in Food Service in Spring ‘03. Then I worked as a Residence Hall Tour Guide for about a year I think. I also did some work as a tutor which told me I would make a horrible teacher.
I also worked on an internship and part time at the DOT from about January ‘04 through December ‘05.

If you work the day shift, the parking supervisor is one of the best bosses you will ever have.
Outdoor Rec -- Rented out camping stuff and lead camping and canoeing trips. One of the best jobs I've ever had, and I probably would have kept it the whole time I was at school if the boss wasn't a demanding bi--well, you know what.
DoE Ames Lab -- Did computer and networking research. Good job too...Had my own office, a government budget and all that good stuff.
And while not a paying job, I did play the carillon up in the Campanile now and then for a year or two, along with Dr. Tam who did it full time. If you were there in the late '90s, you might have heard me, especially if you heard someone playing it late at night.
