    Shrimp factory. Shoveliong shrimp out of the ice holes, through a small hatch over your head onto a conveyer belt. Lasted 3 shifts. Seriously, I will be homeless, and unemployed before I ever do that chit again. no set hours, just wait for the phone to ring telling you a boat is in for unloading.

    I had various jobs when I was too young to drive like cleaning tugs, sweeping warehouses at the state docks, and worked on two charter fishing boats. I also worked on my uncle's farm but it wasnt bad as we would quit early and shoot birds. I never did any of them for more than part of a summer.

    My first job real job when I got a car was working for a company to build tracks and tennis courts. It was hot as hell and never want to do it again.

    Transporting patients at a hospital, I suppose would be my first "real job" - although I started working for my Dad doing data entry when I was 13.

    There's a funny story that didn't happen to me, but a co-worker at the hospital. He was bringing this woman back to her room in a wheelchair after getting a barrium enema. She kept telling him to hurry, that she really had to use the restroom. He gets her in the room & heads straight for the toilet so that she can jump straight from the wheelchair to the toilet. Well, she goes to hop out of the wheelchair, sticks her butt straight up in the air while turning, and just LETS LOOSE! There was metal-rich $h*t flying everywhere, covering him & a nurse. He had to burn his clothes, even his shoes, because the smell would not come out.

    First actual job was a camp counselor in North Carolina. It was really fun. Spent a lot of time on the Ga Tech campus on days off. Thank you KA for the free beer.

    First job in college was at Clinique (makeup for those not in the know)- I worked at the Acadian Mall and Mall of Louisiana at the Dillards. Good times- first real taste of reponcibility. I almost got fired for leaving early to go to the State game one year.

    First real job is the job I have right now. I coordinate several programs for low income/ at risk kids in the Houston area. I love it!

    After the military, I went to USL as a Communications major and got a job at Channel 10 in the production Dept. Occasionally, an audio tape was needed for a new commercial and the "talent" had gone for the day, so I'd run up to the recording booth and tape the audio that would accompany the slides of the commercial. The News Director liked my voice and hired me to work in the News Department. Eventually I was the on air weekend guy doing News and Weather. I did that for 3 years which was my personal "15 minutes of Fame".

    I had a retail job in a department store in the Mens Department. It sucked, the people came in to steal regular then run out the front door. But it was funny most of the time.
    Before that my brother and me, had a lawn cutting service, that didnt last too long.

    My grandfather, paid us during the summers, to feed the catfish in his stock pond, pick greens and purple hul peas, and work in his fish and bait store, selling minnows, crickets, and worms.

    That was David Fontenot's gig. We used to get high in the prop room between the 6 and 10 newscasts and then laugh our azzes off every time he tried to pronounce "Palubinskas". :D
