This is a good idea as we may find that we actually worked with a clutchfan some time in the past. Here's mine: Cameron County - Records Vault Clerk (Brownsville): Got the job as a political favor to my dad - boring as hell - was let go after 2 months. Peter Piper Pizza - Game Room Attendant( Brownsville): Humiliating job. Had to wear a ref's uniform and blow coach's whistle when the kids were being disorderly in the arcade (100% of the time). Lasted about 1 month before I quit. Pizza Hut - Cook (South Padre): Worked there during Spring Break and part of the summer. Busy as hell, and I gained about 25 pounds from eating free pizza every night. Quit after 3 months. La Salsa - Cook/Cashier (South Padre): I ran the place by myself. Spent all day making tacos. Place ran out of business after about a month. Customs Brokerage - Account Manager (Brownsville): Worked for my uncle's custom brokerage firm for about a year. Quit to move to Houston. Olive Garden near Galleria on Westheimer - Waiter: I worked there for about 4 months. Good times. Olive Garden in Austin on Burnet Road - Waiter: Couldn't get enough of the OG. More good times. Econo Lodge - night clerk (Austin): Quit on New Years Eve and made my boss cry (He wanted to go out and party) Customs Brokerage - Account Manager (Los Indios Free Trade Bridge) Part II: Worked for my uncle's custom brokerage firm for a few months. Quit to move to Atlanta. Bodacious Food Co. - Office Manager (Atlanta): Worked there in the summer of 96 mainly just to watch the Olympics. After that it has been IT job after IT job for the rest of the 90's after I moved back to Houston. Eventually met my wife and moved to Austin where I now work for AT&T.
