    Default Your first job.

    Where was it? What did it involve doing? Did you like it? Hate it? Is your first job your only job??
    Tell us something about it!!

    My first job is my current job (only 15, here!) I work at a butchers place, and by God some of the things I see are disgusting! But it does very well and it is always busy (sometimes I wish it weren't). But yeah, we sell any kind of meat you could think of, and I work the counters and stuff... I really have to learn alot of weird things because people ask alot of questions, that most people wouldn't know, so it is a pretty difficult job.

    Tell me about your first job!!!

    When you say first job, do you mean any job where you were paid, like mowing lawns, babysitting, etc... or your first job where you received an official paycheck with taxes taken out, etc...

    At JcPenney's. I liked it for the most part, the benefits sucked and they kept me away from nearly every other worker because.. well they only hired ME for the area from 11-5 everyday. I learned to love purses and perfumes but in the beginning the smell of leather was sickening.

    I don't really like JcPenney's as a corporation, I've worked there twice and.. well nothing's different. I don't mind shopping there, but I have no intentions of going back.

    After JcPenney's I went to work at Macy's and loved the living hell out of it. I did the same job at Penney's (Accessories (Purses, Fashion Jewlery, Socks, scarves, hosery)) but the environment was so much better and the company itself just seemed to love it's workers. If I ever have to work retail again (which I won't because I'll be a stay at home mom and then get my degree in the next span of 6 or 7 years) I'd totally go back to Macy's.

    My first job was at Disneyland. It was absolutely the skullskullskullskull. I did food service and register, parade patrol, crowd control for Fantasmic, and walking around telling people where the bathroom is.

    It was in high school and a lot of my friends worked there too, so we'd just go hang out at Disneyland after school. Walk backstage, cut in line on rides, bring our friends.

    It was basically the greatest job ever.

    I worked at a Dairy Queen. I basically made the ice cream crap when we were overly busy. But my main job was cleaning up the place and stocking the drive through and front with crap they needed. They tried to get me in the kitchen but got angered I couldn't learn everything in 10 minutes, and gave me 2 minutes training as a cashier and thought I was too dumb to do any of that. My current job gave me near full access to the entire with full access to the cash office and safe including all the passwords to get in and out and keys.

    Dude, I've only heard great things about working at Disneyland.

    If I could ever work there, I totally would. Shoot, I'd work there even if I didn't have to work from all the awesome things I've heard.

    I made a bunch of milkshakes! My arms were tasty at the end of the night.

    I stuffed ads into newspapers on Saturday mornings. It wasn't much fun!

    I worked at a video rental store in high school. It paid well and my coworkers were one of my good friends and a bunch of college students that were a blast to hang out with (except for one...)

    I was 16, it was in a skate park. I was paid around £170 a week. All I did every day was skate. it was ace.
    You hold my heart in your manly hands I wanna feel the throb of your handsome gland. I wanna hold you tight like a newborn kitten, against my flesh like a cashmere mitten. Tickly tick, I'm makin' skin bump heaven and all the way down it's lookin' cleanly shaven. Prickety pricks, it's stubble on stubble I better slow down or I'm in real trouble. Want you, touch you, feel you, taste you! Knick knack whacky whack 'till I see the man stew. spin you around let me see that hole! I'm a tunnelin' in a like a short hair mole. Once I'm inside I'm gonna leave a trace, half in there and half on that face! One finger, two finger, there fingers gone! Mano a mano I love you John!
