Thinking back
I worked in a card shop
The owner was how can i put it a little bit amorous. an elderly gent

I was only 16 and very very naive

It got to the point of getting uncomfortable to work there

The final straw came when i had to sit on his knee before i got my wage packet

>>>>> i left


Looking back i should have reported him

My first job was at an electronics assembly factory.

I was there for 8 years and worked my way up from wire stripping to quality control and research and development.

Any funny stories connected with it Rik ??

Not really BM, although i did get given the job title of "The Terminator" at one point as i was working on experimental wiring termination at the time.
I even recieved an official memo about the job title.

I'd have thought such a shop would've got quite soggy whenever it rained.



I worked as a "aircraft engineering" trainee. Actually it was a semi-scam, the company got some kind of government funding for taking on youngsters and most of the time I sat twiddling my thumbs.

Which was great!

Before that, 6 months on the dole.

Which was even better!!

*prepares to tell everyone more than they ever wanted to know*

My first job was weekly paper delivery girl.
Collecting sucked and many didn't seem to bat an eyelash at ripping off a little girl.
Baby sitting was next. It also sucked because I really don't like kids -especially other people's - very much , but I usually got to have a friend accompany me for late nighters, so that was nice.

My first paycheque job was in a privately owned drugstore (most were back in those days) as a clerk and cashier. My girlfriend got me the job and we worked some shifts together.
She was a naughty girl, however and there came a time when she stole a case ( not package, but a CASE) of condoms. .... but could not store them at her place so had me tuck them into my bedroom closet for safe (LOL) keeping.
I was not sexually active at the time.

A few days later ... my Mum is mooching around in my room and decides to tidy up discovering the case in my closet. I find her after school, sobbing into a tissue, the contents of the case strewn all over the living room ... my Dad on his way home from work, 3 hours early.
It was a most eventful evening.

I worked at the drug store for about 4 years, part-time during school and full-time in the Summer. The staff discounts were good.

You'd better put me on ignore, if you can't help reading me, Mister .... unless you can come up with something else to barter with.


Ooops ... wrong thread.

Now that's a thought but I was thinking more waved prescription fees, not to forget makeup and hair dye monies saved
AND we got dibs on the prescription returns, as well.

I went from there to a chain pharmacy.
I guess I was hooked for a while there.

My first job was my own lawn mowing business when I was 12. I did it in a retirement community that had pretty small lots. I only charged 10 bucks. So needless to say they liked me better than the professionals cuse I did a better job and charged less.
