Jobs: A Mini-Series (Part 1)

I'm still a young buck, so I haven't had too many different jobs. This is more an exercise in Memory. When we're done with this initial list, each successive post will be a short anecdote from each job, chronologically.

-Busboy / Prep Cook @ Buddy's - Byfield, MA

-Grocery Store Cashier @ Crosby's - Georgetown, MA

-Warehouse / Accounting Office @ Stavis Seafoods - Boston, MA

-Student Affairs Office @ Berklee College of Music - Boston, MA

-Customer Service Representative @ ITV - Beverly, MA

-Office Manager @ Vampfangs.com - Gloucester, MA

I'm proud of my resume. It begins on a hot day in early summer. School is out. Mom says "You need to get a job" but I'm cheeky and too smart for my britches and reply "Well unfortunately Mom the state of Massachusetts says that you have to be 15 to acquire a worker's permit and I'm only 13..."

To which she swiftly challenged, "I don't think they care very much about that at Buddy's..."

And they didn't.
