    1st real job after college was as a Psyhiatric/Addiction Assistant on a locked psychiatric facility at the hospital in my hometown. Worked various shifts between the adult psych, drug/alcohol rehab, and the ten/adolescent units. Every day was an adventure. lol

    Worked as a bagger at the Fort Lewis Commissary for 3 years in high school. Funnest job of my life lol.
    All I did was do my job, chilled out in the break room, talked, goofed around, and if you ask anyone there that worked the same year as me, they'd probably say all I did was flirt lol

    My first job was meat packing at a supermarket butcher. So boring, nobody but the butcher to talk to.

    I worked at Best Buy helping customers find stuff. You know how when you ask an employee if the store has any X, Y, or Z and they say, "if it's not on the shelf, we don't have it"? Sometimes that's true, but sometimes it's just laziness. I was one of the ones who actually went to the back to dig through boxes and find it for you.

    My first salaried job was a summer job as a "Junior Forest Ranger" - we planted trees and cleared/constructed/maintained woodland trails. I still remember slathering on alternating layers of sunblock and bug spray throughout the day until I was coated an inch thick :laugh:
