I worked at a toy store when I was 12, taught horseback riding at 15, ASM off-B’way at 18, waitress at 20 (also horrible, dona. But people knew I was at college & gave me way over-sized tips. My mother was there one Sunday brunch & was appalled – insisted that I share my take w/ the real workers who took up all my slack.)
I taught arts and crafts at a community center (14)
I started a baby sitting service (15 – but started limiting the jobs to sit for only non-brats, thereby limiting income)
I became a waitress at 17. I was hands down the WORST waitress that poor Greek man ever saw in his life.
It didn’t stop me. I continued to amaze others. A guy on the Upper East side told me I was the worst he had ever seen. Years later took my parents to that restaurant and he told them what a nice woman I am, how charming etc. and the worst waitress he had ever seen in his decades in the restaurant business.

“the time of blossoming is the earliest recorded in the 350 years of data collection.”
I was a late bloomer
hahahah…
Cgar…you should stop by Asshathill and have a look at my avatar. He’s going to whip me later.
Dave, I have a tentative head count of 46 for Loco. I’ll be whipping people later.
I’m from Manchester… though forever a flatlander per the definition of the townies. I won’t be at Loki — I am going to see a play on Thursday.

How many people are going to be at Oki Doki on Thursday???
tybur6 are you coming to Loki?
ty, where in Vermont? I’m a flatlander, but my family had a place in Vermont since before I was born.
Where is herkimer when we’re discussing Vermont? (She assures me that she’s coming to Noki on Thursday.)
