Ahh. I spent a summer when I was but 15 delivering fish and shellfish to
restaurants. Pedaled around on my bike, which was fitted with a small
cooler. A friend had a job getting blood from a local slaughterhouse and
carrying it in buckets to a medical lab to feed vampire bats. Us kids
decided he had the best job. That was when he started college locally. ?



My best job was lifeguard. I could hustle up swimming lessons for
cash, on the job and I was running a "Junior Lifesaver" class (for
free) so I had people to man the chair. (I had a Red Cross WSI
ticket) Most of the kids in the pool during the day were in the class
anyway.
It was basically sitting around under an umbrella talking to teenaged
girls. The money was crap tho, less than minimum wage.
I only stayed a month but I did get 3 or 4 kids through the program
and a few adults learned the basics of swimming, Enough to paddle
around in the pool without a float anyway. That was when the guy down
at the Teamsters told me he could get me a real job.
I wanted a car, so I took the offer. I expected a helper job at Swift
but when they found out I had a chauffeurs license I got the driver
job, ****ing off the folks who were there. It was good while it
lasted.
The cash guy didn't care.
