First real job: picker at grocery warehouse. It sucked and the foreman were slave drivers.

Before that I did my own little small town lawn mowing business. Started maybe when I was 12. It was pretty dope. After a couple seasons I would pull 600 a month cash, all summer long. That's alot of scratch for a 14 year old kid ( 1990s dollars mind you).

I spent most of it on guns

Veterinary assistant. Fucking HATED that job. $7 an hour, spent 8 hours cleaning vomit, shit, blood, random body parts (I shit you not) off of the floors and walls. Hands never had any skin on them because the constant contact with industrial grade disinfectant dissolved all of it.

>lol we have no gloves. not allowed to bring your own

No smoke breaks allowed. 45 minute drive each way. All of my superiors were massive stick-up-their-ass douchebags. The only dude on par with me responsibility wise had zero sense of humor, not allowed to listen to music.

It was eight to ten hours of mind numbing boredom. Ever have those days at work the time crawls excruciatingly slow? It was like that every. single. day.

The worst part was, because it was my first job, I assumed all entry level jobs were that bad. So when I finally quit, I didn't want to look for more work because I did not want to go through that again.

I helped my boss stock wine for supermarkets.
She worked for the distribution company that would send Kroger it's wine.

Pretty ez job for $10, plus we ended up "breaking" more bottles than hit the floor.

My boss' position was eliminated, so I got laid off.

Hey, I did the same as you!

Fucking loved paintball and got paid under the table, so an absolute ideal job for a high-schooler.

I still ref at some scenario events if possible for the fun of it, and play for free.

Good refs are very important to facilitate a good time for newer or first-time players. Fucking love seeing folks get into it.

I worked at Hollister.

Kinda liked it, easy work, tons of girls, and half the time when I worked folding in dressing rooms, girls would change in front of me.

All in all hours were shit, pay was bad but dam was like a free strip show daily.

Quoted By:

I was a vet tech. I handled the kennel mostly and had to clean up shit and piss and take animals out so they could use the bathroom. The worst part was assisting in euthanizations, because I was the one who had to take the body and put it in the freezer, which was the same fridge we put out food in. If the dog was too big, I had to make it fit, usually by means of cracking the spine or breaking bones. It was awful.
