Hallmark... I was the only guy there. I realized after that just how complicated girls are.

McD's

I got the job right after my 16th birthday and managed to stick it out for 7 months until the summer came.

It ended one day when I partied all night and just didn't feel like going in to work the next day. I tried to call in, but ended up quitting because my manager was being a prick.

BEfore that, my brother and I were official insulation monkeys for my Dad when he was building houses.
Anything was a step up from that.

Sandwich Shop and gourmet deli at fourteen.
I think min wage was 4.15 or something when I started...
My SocSec statement shows steady employment for every year since then and doesn't include the odd-jobs and yard-work I did previous to that.
