Quote: I'm seeing a trend here of geezers who started working at an early age...
Tain't so anymore
When I posted this morning, I was getting ready to go in to work. I didn't realize this was a complete job history here. My first job was when I was 9. I used to shine shoes at the local Chevrolet dealership in the lobby. I had a stand and a box with all my goodies and I think I charged a dollar. Did that until I was about 13 or 14, then started cutting grass. Always pushed my mower and gas can and trimmer, my parents didn't shuttle me around. A lot of my yards were more than a mile away. When I was 16, I got a job in a pizza joint. Later stated driving, and started delivering. Had a job as a janitor for a while. Got a job with a friend of mine at Express, which then was only women's retail. We went in as a joke, but they hired us both! Turned out to be a pretty cool job, as all the girls there were hotties. I got a job at 18 when I was finishing school as a porter for a Dodge dealership. Fun job for an 18 year old!My senior year, I had already enlisted in the Army, with a ship out date ten days after graduation. Graduation came, and off to the Army I went. Re-enlisted once, ended up doing 5 years in. Got out, came home, worked in a hardware store. I was chucking lumber in the back of a contractors truck, and was asked if I wanted to be a carpenter. More than twice what I was making, so there I went. Been doing it for over 8 years now. My whole point of this is this, next month, I'm going to be 31. I've been working since I was 9, and I imagine I still have at least 25 more years to go. I'm no geezer, but I'm sure no slouch either. Maybe there's still hope for us yutes!
Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.
