My first job was pretty good. Albeit it was a super small studio and I was 16. Sat down on an old mac running os8 and the CD came up to me, dropped a brief on my desk and said "We need this website done. Today."
It was actually an awful amount of pressure for the age. But it sure made everything from there seem like a walk in the park.

I was a Mad Scientist. I entertained at school functions and birthday parties making slime, blowing shit up, melting plastic heads, and launching model rockets.
- HAHA! I actually volunteered at the Carnegie Science Center here in Pittsburgh and I taught kids all about science...flavorful
- ... and how to make slime and basically all the cool interactive shit as opposed to the boring tours where you couldn't blow stuff up.flavorful
- It was a seriously fun job. Shit pay, but fun. :Dharlequino
- couldn't blow stuff up. Basically kids want to wear safety googles ... because they think there is a possibility their eyes will fall out.flavorful
- wlll fall out, or be blown out by what you are teaching them.flavorful
- The ONLY science I remember is from this job, hahah.harlequino
- Haha yea man! I didn't get paid shit but it was the funnest thing in the world!flavorful

I did paste-up for a printing company, (most of you whippersnappers have no idea what that is) but it was fun and it gave me time to freelance, which led to better jobs.

First Job: Got paid less than the receptionist but just as much as the Human Resource Generalist. Eventually married the Human Resource Generalist. Got to work with some great people, had a great time, and made some good friends with whom I am still good friends with today. Eventually left a year later to do FT freelance, been doing that ever since.

I have a somewhat funny story about my first job out of college. I worked for RR Donnelley and Sons in their Online Services department. Real cake work. They had me editing images for their online catalogs and adding skus to 10000+ sku excel spreadsheets. It was HORRIBLE. After 2 or 3 months I started to get a little brazen with the incredible Fiery printer in the back. I was sending 11x17 prints to the back after hours to frame and hang in my house. I was broke as fuck at the time so of course I didn’t actually want to buy prints. One night after work I sent my new business cards through to be printed on those sheets you buy from Office Max, with the cards pre perforated on the sheet... Yeah... that didn’t go so well. First print the rollers in the printer shredded the shit out of the paper and jammed the machine something fierce. I get the “Paper Jam” error on my desktop so I go over thinking I’d open it up and see a sheet cockeyed in the printer. To my horror I opened it up and it seriously looked like someone put a grenade in the thing and detonated it inside. I freaked. THIS WAS MY FIRST FRIGGIN JOB! The next day my boss called me into his office and he’s got the shreds of my paper in a sealed plastic baggie like it’s some kind of evidence in an FBI case. Luckily he had a great sense of humor and was really chill. He let me off with a stern warning. I’ll never do THAT again.

- I'm two big azz margaritas deep already from lunch. Give me the camera, I'm 21!flavorful

publications at museum- xacto knife and chromolithographs. My boss had a bucket with a lid under her desk where she emptied her half- smoked cigarets. She was a first rate editor. "Darling, if I can't do it in my heels, I don't do it."
