careers gone by..

In each of the three (four if you count a paper route) jobs I have had some , how shall I put it... "interesting" experiences. Most of these had to do with the manager but not all of the them.

The first job I had was a paper route which I started when I was around 10 years old. It started out as one route, 2 times a week and had to be delivered before 6:00 pm. This then became three routes, three times a week. Eventually, we got rid of the first route but continued to the the other two for a while longer. The total time I had that job was 7 years. I hated it so much but couldn't get rid of it because I didn't have another job. One day, I think it was on Halloween, I was supposed to deliver the papers right after I got home from school. Instead, because I really didn't want to do them, I put those papers in a bag and hid them in the house. They were eventually discovered by my parents and I got in trouble for it.. woops!

My second job was at the fast-food restaurant, A&W. Not one of my best ideas I've had in my life. I spent a total of one and a half years there and after the first month or so it became hell on Earth for me. I was called in at least once a week, every week because someone had left or was "sick." My first manager there was a guy named Tom. He was a really good manager and an easy going guy. He left about 6 months or so after I started and was replaced by another guy whom I don't feel like naming. I was really sick one time and my mother called to tell them I couldn't work because I was too sick. Not only that, but if I did work I would have contaminated everything I touched. Anyways, my mom called and the manager said to her, "Well he better get his butt in here anyways!" To my mother!!!! I quit that job soon after and bid that place adue.

My third job was at the movie theatre "Famous Players." not much to tell there because I lafter after about 2 months to get a better job. The manager wasn't very nice either and the assistant manager liked to through her power around. :P

My fourth job was at "Falcon Scaffolding and Ladders." It was a pretty good job that paid well and had a great assortment of people. Not only that, but I worked with two of my really good friends. I worked 3:30 pm to 1:30 am, Monday to Thursday. Basically I woke up at around 12-1, got ready for work, worked, went home, slept and so on. It was basically grunt work but it wasn't too bad and I made quite a bit from it.

Hopefully my next job will be better than the ones I have had up until now. I think it will be because most of the delinquints don't have an education and can't apply for the jobs.

Thats all from me for now. Ciao
