  • Resident Assistant at a university residence hall. The MALE FRESHMAN residence hall. So you know that I saw all sorts of weird stuff happen during that time. Even had to testify as a witness in the campus judicial court over an incident that happened on the floor that I was in charge of supervising.

    I had babysitting gigs throughout high school that involved me watching 2 kids or driving them to camp. While taking them to the park I locked us out of the house & had to climb in through a back window to get us back in. I'd also play Britney Spears really loud when they'd scream in the car to get them to stop. they were a hoot.

    my first more formal job was age 20, I was a hostess at my friend's aunt's restaurant she owned downtown. I'd kill time playing tic tac toe & hangman with the busboy. it was right near the train station so we had a HUGE happy hour crowd every day which got obnoxious. I had quite a few married dudes try to buy me drinks & talk me up While I was working. I'm really quiet so that was interesting to work around since hostesses have to be all :D

    McDonald's was my first job. I eventually got the chance to be trained to be a manager but I decided to pursue other opportunities.

  • i was a cashier at a grocery store. i thought i was terrible at it, though all of my managers said i was the best worker in the front end. i had a horrible customer service attitude, and i got nervous whenever customers were angry with me (thanks, years of trauma). though, i was a huge pushover. whenever my managers asked me to do something, i'd do it. i'd cover shifts for people, come in early if asked, rarely take days off, etc. guess that's why they liked me so much.

  • It was a tutoring job tutoring little kiddos.

    Kiddos were great, although some of them gave me hell. But they were my babies and I actually miss some of them. I'm happy to have left the job (worked there for four years), but it was a good one.
