SUMMER JOBS
Now on to the places I have worked. I worked at Microsoft
(this was my first job ever).
That was the summer between my junior and senior years of high school (summer of 1991).
At Microsoft I worked in the product support area for LAN Manager. I then worked for
The Computer Store during the summer that I graduated. At The Computer Store I work
as a trainer. We were teaching Hypercard to school teachers. Imagine,
me a
18 Year-old kid out of high school once again teaching
teachers. Then I went to
college and came back home for the summer not wanting to work... hard. So I found a job
selling PC Tools... Over the telephone. YES, I was a telephone salesman. And
last summer I wanted to go to Minot, North Dakota for the last month of summer,
so I wanted to have a job that would only last about one month. And with my great
luck, when I was home for spring break, a guy who works for D&D Floor Coverings,
was needing to go in for surgery... during summer. He asked me if I would take his
place for about 4 to 5 weeks. I said yes, and that was were I worked last summer.
Let me tell you, working with computers was sometimes mentally hard, but I really
enjoyed to use some physical labor for once. Now I know a college education is what
I need. :)
