mc5 - ... so help me God.

I was once an elevator attendant, but after I while I realised that the owners were giving me the shaft.

I was a watchmaker but I left because the boss kept winding me up.

[FG} Funny that. I worked for a watchmaker once, but I left because I kept getting run down.

I was a weather forecaster for a while, but left under a cloud.

I used to be really good at this game before we started discussing our career history.

I used to be a display waterskier, but they cut me loose.

When I realised my job on an old-fashioned railway wasn't for me, I left under my own steam.
