My first job was working in the Lease Renewal Office at Al Palladini's Ford dealership, but only got that from take your kids to work day. They put me to work and I ended up getting a weekend/March break job out of it at $8.50 an hour. That was umm 7 years ago I think. LOL! I am far from old, but that makes me feel old! I have done office work and retail ever since as part time just because of school.

today i had the training from 12-8. i sat at a computer watching videos of procedures and all that for 8 hours, it was brutal. but the people that work there are cool and u get free food and drinks so i think thats gonna save me a lot of money at lunch time.
that guys the biggest loser i have ever seen on this site in my life. talkin **** about a guy that is happy with their employment at timmies. Talk about being supportive...i wonder what loser job his son is gonna have wen hes 18...so on that note, thank yall again

lol
this post has been entertaining to say the least and made me laugh a few times.
Grats on the job, its a start and could have been way worse.
my first job was pumping gas when I was 13 for $2.50 an hour, dam it sucked in the winter.
Cant be "ballin" when your pcokets are empty and your outa gas.

Hmm... in the mid to late 90's I was up at 6:00am to dig 4 ft trenches in Coburg for industrial irrigation systems & drill holes in wood frame houses for central vacuum & home alarm systems, all for $8.xx/hr.
Don't need to see those days again & I've come a hella looong way since, glad to say...

congrat's on finally getting a job and i'm glad you didn't go the drug route, would have been a waste of time for you.
also great attitude towards all the negativity

2008 330CI?? Really? Well it appears a 2008 330ci never existed in canada, just like you never had that car DAWG.... Get your head out of your ***, you just wanna be apart of the growing ranks of douchebags that drive BMW's.
To the OP, congrats!

So I am now inputting at this point that a job is a job; money is money! As long as you are getting a pay cheque there is no need to complain lol! It is a part time job, no one expects it to be perfect! That is why it is only part time because if it was full time you would go insane!
