I was as an actor in a haunted house.

I scared the fuck out of people for a living for two summers.

It was awesome.

first day of bagging groceries one of the cashiers tells me that they've got a big wig coming in about an hour and we need to make sure all the store is faced and everything looks good. he takes me over to the salad dressing aisle and says that all the italian dressings that have settled have to be shaken so that they look good for the bigwig dude if he walks by. about 10mins into it i look over towards the end of the aisle and about half the store's employees are standing there laughing at me while i'm shaking two bottles of dressing. dicks! pretty much the equivalent to sending someone to find "sky hooks" or a "left-handed hammer" on a construction site.

I was into the marketing and distributing of these when I was 5yrs old.



Ok, I didn't sell chiclets. But I do love all those kids that do. I'd squish them all of I could!

My first job was when I was 14.

My power cousin and I worked for this man that owned a shaved ice cart he parked in front of walmart. Did this for two summer in row. It's also where I started to learn Spanish.

My Spanish sucked back then so when people would ask me for a "rasapdo" (snow cone) I thought they were asking for a raspberry flavored snow cone or if they'd ask for Pina (pineapple) I'd give them pina colada and I'd have no idea why they'd be confused or mad when they took their cone and left.

Also one time this lady asked me for a vanilla flavored cone in Spanish and I'm like "ok this time I know this one!" because vanilla sounds the same in spanish. So I'm pouring the flavor on it and she's pointing at me going "Mosca" and I'm looking at her like "what? Yea vanilla snow cone" and she's all "No. mosca" and she points to the bottle of flavoring and there is this nar fly floating dead in the bottle. That's how I learned what a "fly" was called in Spanish

That job was too much fun. We did whatever we wanted and made pretty sweet tips from being silly and playful with customers. Probably the best job I ever had since!

My first job was when I was in 6th grade, tutoring younger kids at the elementary school. I got paid something like $2 an hour to make sure this kid Ricardo did his homework. He gave me a hard time at first, but we kind of ended up being buddies.

My first REAL job was at the Target up in Cave Creek when I was 16. I did some cashiering, but ended up working the returns desk most of the time. I think their strategy was to put the relatively young and cute girls on the returns desk to deal with the angry people, because it was usually me and a couple other gals from my high school. I got a lot of good experience dealing with jerks, though, and it's served me well in my library work.

i worked at the cave creek walgreens circa 1996/1997
prior to that i worked at pizzafarros in carefree for like 6 months in 1995.

but when the walgreens opened, they were paying 5 bucks an hour vs. the 4.75 at the pizza place, so it was no contest for my teen self.

my first job was when i was a sophomore in HS and i worked at an animal hospital...walking, bathing, giving oral meds, cleaning up after all the critters. The first week, i was there, they had to put a giant great dane to sleep (a dog i knew from my neighborhood) and it was my responsibility to bag him up and haul him into the freezer. Thing is, he weighed more than i did by about 50 pounds. The term "dead weight" is pretty accurate in this case. IT took me a while, but i got him in there. A few weeks after this, we got in one morning to find a horrid smell coming from the basement... turns out, the freezer broke and all the animals in there had thawed and blood was running out the bottom of the freezer. Guess whos job it was to clean all that up?
