yea that isnt bad, except bagging puts pressure on u. thats retarded. why hire more people if they can't afford to pay the ones they began with?

Cleaning houses at 13. I actually kept the job for years and then worked daycare, then at a motel as a housekeeper a few years ago. I liked cleaning houses. I usually worked on my own schedule sorta. I could go in later in the day if I didn't have too many houses to clean. My very first house I kept was one that a married couple had previously lived in and the husband shot and killed either the wife AND her lover or the lover--don't remember how it went. But there were blood stains that stained all up and down the wooden stairs and upstairs bedroom. It was wild, but actually a very interesting house to work in! I've wanted to take a trip bakc there for years, but haven't. Certainly an interesting first job to have!

I was a cashier at K-Mart. Had to quit thanks to a cheating boyfriend and the skank he cheated with, her friend worked there and harassed me as well as her coming in to do it and management did nothing about it. It ended up with my mom not letting me go back after the skank brought her girlfriends to try to gang up on me and beat me up after work one night which ended with a brick being thrown through my windshield. Oh, what fond high school memories.

I worked at a full service car wash. I remember some NASTY vehicles coming in. One was a farm truck that was caked with a mix of mud and cow shit. The smell was ungodly. Even the interior was filthy. Another one was from an extremely heavy smoker that must have never tried to clean the car interior before. The windows looked yellow. I sprayed them with cleaner and the yellow-brown rivulets of liquified nicotene buildup stated going everywhere. The cloths I used to wipe turned brown. I reeked of stale cigarettes all day. Pretty much every day I would come home wet, dirty, and smelly. I was also exposed to the elements.
