If it makes you feel any better, I'd kill for some Houston sports talk right now. The sports talk around Dallas is so lame, I'm on the verge of getting an XM radio for my cube!! So when are you guys going to broadcast that mess over the Internet?!
Jobs I had when I was in high school: Kroger: Sacked groceries at the new Signature store on Sweetwater@59. Met NBA scrubs like Kevin Willis, Sam Mack, Brent Price, Avery Johnson, etc. Easy job, but the pay sucked at only $4.25/hr. Outback Steakhouse: My buddy hooked me up with a job bussing tables at the Outback in First Colony. I was supposed to become a waiter once I turned 18, but I never waited that long. This was a fun work environment, as the waitstaff and hostesses were a bunch of hotties. But since I was only 17 at the time, I couldn't hook up with any of them. The work was damn hard on Friday's and Saturday's though, with all the customers and frequent trash runs and stuff. The pay amounted to about $6.50 - $7/hr. Kay Bee Toys: This job was an absolute nightmare, since it was seasonal employment during Christmas time. Every night it was the same old crap, as the place was a complete trainwreck with crap everywhere. So we'd clean it up, only to see it tore up the next day. Working at the mall for $6.25/hr wasn't all that it was cracked up to be. I would have rather worked at the Gap, if they could've given me some more hours. Oh well...
I use to work at the at the Houston Zoo renting strollers one summer. $3 for a regular stroller $4 for a Seal Lion stroller
