I was listening to Bill and Marla this morning on the way to work and the topic was people’s first job. People were talking about being janitors in restaurants, working at movie theaters, being a gardener, etc.
My first job was a bus boy at Lyon’s Restaurant; I think I was about 15. I used to walk down there after school and work from about 4 until 8. It sucked, I worked with this Mexican named Raul who spoke 0 English and he trained me, you can image how much “fun” I had during that training. My job was to clean up dishes, wash them, etc. I also had to clean the bathroom, one time it looked like someone bent over, spread their ass cheeks and had explosive diarrhea all over the toilet and wall. I let Raul clean that up.
I got to thinking about what job as a Teenager I always wanted but never did it. I always wanted to work at a movie theater. I am a huge movie buff and I always wanted to work at a theater because I’d get to see movies for free and I had friends who worked at a theater and they would get to watch free movies and have free popcorn. Often times they would show the employees upcoming movies weeks before release after the theater closed. That would have been awesome.
I guess it’s not too late to work at a theater and get to see movies; however that’s not the career path I am looking to pursue.
