I just applied to work at a video store. I love movies and the people there are really nice and fun. So hopefully that will work out. I've never had a job before. What were all of your first jobs?
EDIT: I mean, I sing at weddings/funerals, etc... I mean an hourly job where you have to go in every day.

I worked at my temple as a Teacher's Aide and Office Assistant when I was in 8th grade.
In 10th, I also added working at a drug store.

Posted: 6/5/06 at 12:01amI was dishwasher at Sirloin Stockade in Victoria, texas in 1984! I did it for about three or four weeks. Really gross. I recall that one time someone ordered a chicken fried steak with no grvay but it went out with gravy by accident. they brought it to me to rinse the gravy off and then they dropped it back into the grease to fry it again and sent it back. swear to god.

Posted: 6/5/06 at 12:02amIt was 9th grade. I worked at Nautica. Then DKNY. Then Barney's New York. That was the end of my retail career. Misery.

Same here. I babysat and distributed newspapers (which sucked, as I had to haul 5000lbs of newspaper up this hilly neighborhood and unlike in the States I had to actually bring it to the door of every damn house...)

I was a lifeguard at a low-income public pool. It was essentially hell on Earth for $5.50 an hour.
But we did get to spray paint our lockers in the guard room; mine was navy with baby blue stars and Tinkerbell stickers.

Posted: 6/5/06 at 5:28amFor six months,I was a clerk at this little video game store in a shopping center (Video Game Exchange, it dosen't even exist anymore, run out of buisness by the EbGames and Gamespots of the world). I felt like Randall from the movie Clerks the whole time, and dealt with people almost as stupid.

My first job was in a discount store in the "Health and Beauty Aids" department.
It's not as GAY as it sounds. Or a glamorous.
I was mostly stocking toilet paper and maxi-pads.

When I was 12, I worked in the local mini-mart type store that was on my street in my small town (Mableton, GA) mopping the floors everynight.
I made $5 a night which is pretty decent coin if you're 12.
From 14-18 I worked at one of those quick oil change places in the summer. HOT work in the humid south.

Posted: 6/5/06 at 10:24amNo, it didn't become a career, doodle, because there was this young Eve Harrington type, went by the name of "Boardwalk Boobs" back then, who climbed right over me on the way to the tops.
