Making your own sammiches from schlotzsky's was a wet dream. And the pizzas were amazing. I think I gained 20 lbs in 4 months

when i was like... 14 or 15 i had a summer job as an office helper type person at a veteran's retirement home.

i got to do genealogical research for ppl, file things (of course), and work in the "dead room" which was a room full of boxes of posessions of patients that had died.

the best part was i got to clean out all the stuff from the dead room that had been there over a year and have my own little yard sale. and i found some classic pr0n videos in there too... it was rad lol

My first job was horrible. I HATED the place.
I was the guy who spoke English at a Wendys in suburban Chicago. Basicly I worked late every night. I worked teh register and the drive through. Basically, after my "training" was over, I ran the place for minimum wage.
... worked there for 4 months before getting the f*** outta there. My second job was as a pharmacy technician at a Walgreens (August 1996). I have changed jobs a few times since then, however, I still work for Walgreens. I plan on continuing to work for Wag until I either retire or die of old age .... whatever comes first.

Caddy! Sounds great on a per-hour basis, but when you can ONLY work 4 hours in a day, it kind of sucks. All I could do was hope to double-bag it!
