the trials and tribulations of one dude, one chick, one princess, one crazy little guy, and two neurotic cats (the fish don't count... they come and go too quickly)

my first job: forced child laborer on local cherry farm

i filled tanks of cherries with water and used a badminton racket to skim off all the undesirable stuff that floated to the top. did it for one or two seasons and was paid minimum wage (around $3/hr) which was just enough to cover room and board, meals, transportation (even though i lived with my folks right across the street), and ER visits (from heat stroke).   even had enough left over every month to buy a new album, an ice cream cone and the latest issue of tiger beat.  matt dillon, what a babe he was - and still is!

1 cool people had this to say...:

You were ripped off. We were paid $8.00 per hour at Rufli's Farm...;)
