When I was in High School I worked at Mickey D's. But darlings, I didn't just work there - I WERQ'd there.
You should have seen my sassy polyester-wearing ass werqing the Drive Thru - Yours Truly was the fiercest little Drive Thru Diva you ever wanted to meet. I could talk to two different customers (one at the window, one via speaker), make change, take orders, check the orders and pour drinks - simultaneously. All the while checking my hair in the polished stainless steel to insure my coif looked flawless. Ooooooh HONEY, it was a sight to behold!
What was YOUR first job - and were you good at it?

i worked in a library where i would disappear and go read on a regular basis....so i guess that means i was terrible at being an employee but very good at being sneaky because i think i got caught twice in the 8 months i worked there.

I was a life guard and swimming teacher. I did pull one of my students to the side during her deep water swim (which she wasn't) so I guess I did a good thing... otoh, she needed remedial work to do the deep water swim.
ReplyDeleteGreat! Now I'm hungry.

LOL!! Fellow Mickey D's employee here!! I worked the drive thru and was a cook...loved working in the kitchen because our boss let us hook up a boom box...we listened to the Gap Band all night long while flippin' those burgers!! And the who the hell LIKES the McRib??? That was the nastiest thing ever!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI worked in a small local grocery store and sold beer to all my underage friends. Yep I was popular!
ReplyDeleteI am old and decrepit.... back when I was in high school, cameras used this stuff called "film", that had to be developed, and then printed. It took a lot more than a few clicks of a button, and involved a bunch of caustic chemicals mixed blindly in a dark, poorly ventilated room. And for this, I was paid the princely sum of $4 an hour!
ReplyDeleteCountry boy here - I did farm work (baled hay, raised/slaughtered pigs, milked cows, and was involved in the entire life cycle of tobacco). Kind of cool because it was all cash and tax-free.
ReplyDeleteI will forgive Karmack and his disparaging words towards the Queens staple food. The mcrib should be shown respect at all times HO!
ReplyDeleteWell HO I was special. I worked two jobs. Yes I began working at Whatabutger at 16. Hos Whataburger is the state burger of Texas so tread lightly.
I too had mad skills. The drive thru was my specialty also. That place was never the same. I also thwarted a robbery but that's a story for another blog.
During the same summer I became a hungry money whore. Bitch I began sacking groceries on my days off from W.
Well long story short. I got fired for being mean to an old ass lady who was mean to the wrong bagho. Bitch had it coming to her. That was the summer I realized the power in words.
My first job for pay was at a fabric store. I got to tell women, "Uh you want to make that? You do realize that it won't work in taffeta?" Gawd I hated all the beyotches who were fixated on taffeta. Really? Shorts out of mauve taffeta? Shouldn't someone go to jail over that crap?
ReplyDeleteI worked during the Christmas season at a women's clothing shop. I wasn't very good at it but much better than when I was a student secretary in the chemistry department when I was in college. Horrible typist and don't even remember what I did for them. Dead weight I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteFor a whopping 3$ / hour I worked in a laundrymat. I washed people's clothes and hung out listening to the radio. Still the best job I have ever had.
ReplyDeleteBabysitting. There's a reason I never had children.
ReplyDeleteSam: Whataburger! I lived in Texas during grade school - I remember Whataburger! (It's Whataburger should be.)
