Your First Job


float

Recommended Posts

my first job was at cooper's watch works. i fixed watches, sold watches, put in batteries, removed links, etc etc... it was actually kind of fun. i got the job in the first place because of my friend working there... it was in the mall.... i got to smoke my cloves in the back... got to eat chili fries (there was a coney at eastland then)... everything i could ever hope for. lol. i was 16 after all. but i had to quit because my mom made me so i could be at home babysitting my sisters instead. i was so mad. i didn't have another job until i moved out of my house at 18 and i worked at arbor's. i had a love/hate over that one. it was very mindless but on the other hand i HATED how mindless and boring it was. being stuck behind a register is so boring. i liked when i was on the register where you had to go off and "straighten isles" when you were not busy. at least then i would go around and look at stuff we had, talk to people, or just waste time other ways. ;)

now this is obviously not my FIRST job since i had those 2 up there ^ and 2 other very very very brief jobs (worked in a fruit market... for a day and worked in a resturant ... for about a week) but to me my first REAL job was working at a montessori school. i started there at 19 and went back and forth (once left cuz ihad my son, another time left cuz i moved out of state) to that job until i had my second child and became a stay at home mom. when i work again that is what i think (as of right now anyways) that i still want to do. i would love to be a teacher.

Babysitting--did it for years.

I also worked as a bagger at Kroger (grocery store) when I was in high school. I bought some knee-high, pointy-toed gothy boots at Noir Leather with my first paycheck from there.

My first job ever was "Boston Market" my mom is the general manager (which she still is) and hired me when I first turned 16 on my b-day. I was a dishwasher and had ta spit chickens, (now incase y'all dont know whut spitting chickens is its dunking the chickens in marination, putting skewers inside the chickens and placing them on each metal rods which there called spits) each day I would come home all soaking wet from head to toe from the dish water and totally reaking like marination really bad, it sucked. *shrugs*

I guess my first job was babysitting, but it wasnt so much "paid" as "bribed" with various gifts and the occasional $20. have I half raised my friend Jenna (who is now 20) from age 4 to 10, seems more like a neice than a neighbor.

My first "real pay" job was kitchen remodling with my father for a year when i was 18 and/or helping out with my parents real estate holdings (calling renters, waiting for city inspectors to come look at houses ect)

My first "real job not for friends or family" was working at the Meijer in Canton.

2 1/2 years of managing a burger king.. Heh.. Way to realize life sux without a high school diploma. Got the fuck out of there as soon as I scored 26 points away from a perfect score on the GED and arranged for college.
