This is the thread we will use for the SIP & TALK tonight....as long as the internet hangs in there LOL

So bring your favorite drink and your personal story of your first job and what you bought with the earnings.

Talk to you at 8:30 Eastern Time

Even though it didn't work last night, Bill and I had a great conversation. Almost like Old times when I had to work for a living.

I saw that this morning at 3:00 am

Very Cool
Dan

So lets kick this off

My first real big boy job was being a Lifeguard at the age of 16 for a Private Swim and Tennis Club.

I made .50 cents an hour more than my buddies who cut the grass, did the trash and cleaned up around the Club. I sat for unbelievable hours watching the young ladies swim. Someone had too. I did all this to save up my money to buy a Honda 100 motorcycle.

It was so cool until I got hit by a car. Man did I love that bike. I guess you can’t have it all LOL

I mowed the grass for a company, then later progressed to doing odd jobs.

Cleaning up around a construction site

They waited to pay me until I racked up enough hours to make it worth cutting a check.

Was paid a straight $30 per day.
Worked 8 to 10 hours a day
5 days a week during the summer, Saturdays when school was in

By the way, how do you get the emoticons to post? I tried several things to no avail and have relied on colons and semi-colons with parenthesis brackets.

So what did you spend the money on?
Dan

Bill, I suspect that I started working before you...Dan also.

Let's see if that worked
