What was your first job?

[MakiSupaStar]

I was a "lot boy/driver" for a rolls-Royce/Bentley/Porsche-audi/lamborghini/and high end chevy dealership when I was 17. I drove some really sweet cars really fast. It was a great job.

maki, you've demonstrated once again that you are a naturally lucky bastard.

 

[D Von]

It was a great job.

so what did you total?

This statement is true only if you allow for a very loose interpretation of the following words:

Steak, Shrimp, Lobster and Restaurant.

The last time I went to Sizzler was about two years ago when we took our grandmother out to dinner. She'll only go to about four different restaurants and unfortunately that's one of them. My brother asked me what I was going to have and (a little too loudly) I said, "diarrhea".

It was funny because it was true.

Funny enough sizzler has this same effect on me.

the only thing that does this to me is AppleBee's sizzlin' apple pie a la mode dessert. This really sucks because it is more delicious than anything else on the planet, and I order one every time I go there. It's worth it.

so what did you total?

I made 12 bucks an hour plus tips. I would often get a nice tip for delivering a car from service to client who was very often a celebrity. This was 1988. It was pretty good pay for the time. I delivered Eddie Van Halen's 4wd lamborghini (and was handsomely tipped and given a soda by his smoking hot wife, Valerie was her name IIRC), reggie Jackson's 930 slant nose, chuck norris's rolls Royce and carrera 4, just to name a few. I have to admit that my dad got the job for me. Thanks dad.

I used to spend all the money I'd make on music - tape cassettes.

Same here. I rode my bike to this joint called "Tape Town" when I got paid from my paper route to pick up the latest cassettes. I remember saving up to buy Duran Duran's Rio, and then I was really stoked about getting the latest from New Edition.

I'd save a few bucks and score some Hershey bars on the way home. They were .25 back then.

Nah. I went back to school, and had to quit, then the following summer, I started lifeguarding. More money, and all the chicks you can handle. Sorry chicks beat cars everytime.

 

[ahkiatt]

You drove Chuck Norris' car and you're not dead?!

 

[Gubna]

Hey, I thought Chuck Norris was banned on Talkbass?

 

[katri]

I work on a running shop and have dome for almost a year, that's my only job.

 

[MakiSupaStar]

I drove it well.

Having been in the kitchen area at the Sizzler where I worked, I'm not surprised that place would give you a nice case of the trots.

I haven't set foot into a Sizzler since I quit working there, and that was 25 years ago.

My first job was at the fine local McDonalds. Actually it was a small ****-hole that didn't exactly help me like people more. But it was a job that helped pay for stupid stuff that high school kids spend money on.

 

[Jefenator]

Cleaning & restocking outhouses in an old mountain ghost town turned biological research station. Can't remember, was maybe 12?
