    • My first job: office worker at a tiny water company
    • I worked in the office of a rural water company with my cousin. The boss was a jerk, the office was barely air-conditioned, and the whole place (and the field work guys) always smelled like cheap cigarettes and grime. I mostly filed and made copies. We were directly under where all the planes come in to land. Very boring, but at least I wasn't working outside in that god-awful heat.
