Job 1:

Paper Route or Paper Boy
Date: 2001?-2006
Pay: Monthly ... really sucks, don't even wanna say

Delivered on Wednesday, Fridays and Saturdays until 2005 where I only had to deliver on Wed and Friday.

The pay sucks. My first street had about 140 houses and was far from where I lived so had to get my mom to drive me there when she had the time. My 2nd street after the 1st one was closer where I could walk and delivered around 75 houses there. Much easier.

I don't like people that complain when I deliver late because it was raining or snowing like crazy the day before! I hate it when people put their dogs out knowing they actually bite. -_-

Benefits? There are none -_-

Hey jobs~ well everyone around here always sees me whining and complaing about going to work >.<

Job 1 (Early 2005 - April 2006)
- Golden Deer Take-Away
- part time/casual
- Worked at the cashier
- A little cleaning here and there
- and playing with the boss's kids They were cute....tho sometimes can get out of hand.
- At first 8 bucks an hour, then slowly made it to 10 an hour. (no benifits)

It was really good pay for a 15 year old.

Job 2 (Sept 2005 - Present) OMF its my third year here >.<
- 'The land of grease and cholestorol' aka McDonald's
- part time/ casual
- check-out chick, getting trained to work out back
- currently $11.09 an hour, quite good pay IMO for Macca's no benifits... get OT penalty's and laundry allowance
- get long tedious hours, stupid shifts (ones that either start at 11pm, or 4:30am), customers are a bitch.
- good lot of people to work with, managers are pretty cool, except for 2 >.>

Job 3 (Dec 2006...for about 4weeks)
- Asain Fast Food Take-away
- Casual
- worked at the cashier, a lil cleaning, bagging the prawn crackers and fried noodles
- $12 an hour (best pay I've had)

It was a pretty cool place to work, coz I had mates working there, who like me was workign 2 jobs over the summer.


So yeah still stuck at macca's... the hours are relatively fexible ... I'm too lazy to go find another job, probably will stick around there for a little bit longer. And all the jobs I've had so far, I haven't really had problems with the higher-ups.

xeno>> surprisingly... i am not buff at all...

my body tends to stick with its hydrodynamic form..

striker>> don't beat the crap out of him...

i think its better to smash the car... steal his wheels or something...

if he has like a 4 x 4... then go get a coin.. and vandalize...

4 X 4 = 16 then put in a big check all across the vehicle..

that whole "don't work at ur favorite restaurant thing"...it so true --;;;
i used to ADORE in n out xD but now i rarely go cause the magics gone for me ;-;....its still good tho x)

and its not much about the dorks (tho there were some =D ) but in all honestly..i never imagined there to be so many ignorant people in this world..like once i had this women come up to me and say "do u guys worship the devil?...whay are the clothing so diabolic?..whats the purpse of all this?.." and yes she did ask them all at once -.-;;;; my first reaction was "uhh.." i couldn't respond right away xD haha cause i woulda regretted what i was gonna say
the worst and most hilarious was when these chicks came is and asked where all the "pink" stuff was..xD i guess they were expecting barbie or something...saddest part was that they were being serious o_O;;

and if u do do that...i can't promise u will leave in one piece..haha i've been told that my reflexes are dangerous XD so if u jump up at me..expect something to be coming towards ya

strkie- If u want to go for the cheap approach...Egg his car
