First Job

I had a very bizarre first "real" job. A local law firm hired me for the summer (I was 16) to "clean up the files in the basement".

The reason they had to hire a "kid" to do this is that the staff refused to go into the basement because of the little "critters" that resided there. Killing and removing them was part of my "other duties as assigned". Then I had to remove spider webs and other filth from the shelves.

After I removed the trespassers I then got to open up tons and tons of boxes and put the files in alpha order on shelves.

Some of the files were so dusty that it was hard to read the labels to figure out what the alpha order was.

I got it done--and the staff took me out for a "thank you" lunch when the summer was over...
