I've had about 42985405724 jobs.
My first was when I was 13 or 14 washing dishes illegally since I wasn't old enough to legally work!

I also deal with the public sector fairly often. I am yet to be convinced that this is not all that they do (apart from coming up with increasingly dumb reasons not to upgrade from using IE6).
I spent my younger days working for the family business (probably off the books, take that Shauna and your silly HMRC cronies!). I still do, but just on a consulting "here's 30 quid fix the servers" basis.

My first job was working for my dad when I was about 16; he is a house painter and I'd show up and do prep work.
When I was about 17/18 I got a job at a local motel as a housekeeper. It sucked.
That was a long time ago and ever since then I've been in retail, which also sucked until very recently. The overnight stocking aspect of retail is CONSIDERABLY more tolerable than the customer service part of it.
I also do writing as side income.
First was at some restaurant, got fired because all I had was my food handler's certificate not any "real" cooking experience (it was someone my sister knew so the person just took me in). I think I was 17 then (just finished school).
After that I worked at a catering place ......catering is so nice because you don't have to make specific things for individual people, nor do you have to rush as much .![]()
Congratulatio-
SCUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM! (SPOILER)I'll be working for HM Revenue & Customs {as a} Collector
To be fair, HMRC just resolved a problem for me so that I don't owe them something that I didn't owe them, so woo
Congrats on your job, Shauna!
My first job was working four hours a week at a timber yard, sometimes with more time after school if I felt like it (it was directly opposite my high school). I would clean up the yard, moving wood about, palletising wood, sweeping up the warehouse, etc. It was actually a pretty good job all told. There's something about doing labour work... it's just nice. Anyway, it was miserable weather on occasions and I'd have to move around sixty 6m long (yes) 4" by 6" (yes) planks of wood from one end of a timber yard to another, and when those things are soaked through they weigh about three times as much as normal. Needless to say, it built up my strength very, very quickly. I never gained much muscle visibly (I seem to be stuck this way), but people who would easily beat me in arm wrestling before I worked there would get easily beaten by me after a good few months of that place.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
I worked as a trolley pusher for Safeway from 1998-2000. I quite liked it in the summer, but it wasn't so much fun pushing trolleys around in the rain and cold. Most of the time it wasn't that busy, so I used to sit on the trolleys until they got all Nazi and put a camera that looked directly onto them. They trained me up to work on the checkouts as well, but I hated that. I totally understand why most checkout operators look like they just want to end it all.
