my first job, I broke just over 100/hr.

Problem was, there was almost no work to do and I could rack up hours.

MY first job was 29 years ago when i was 12 washing dishes in a resataurant making 1.50/hour . The owner got in trouble when someone blew the whistle on him because I was working 12 hours/day 7 days/week.

I also found out that cheap prick never paid in any S.S. for me too.

Well tell us what it was!

Las Vegas brothel?

hm i don't know, i imagined there would be lots of work there. Unless he's specialized.

I used to work on the corner of 37th and 8th ave. Stupid giuliani

Actually, I was a systems architect (fancy name for that computer guy) for a small art company that was going online during the whole dotcom boom. Problem was, I had created a working system that was generally bug-free and almost completely automated(as in, users couldn't really screw it up too badly). Because things didn't happen all that often, I would get paid for a few hours a week just for maintenance. but there was no actual work that had to be done.
