What was your first job?

In 1995 at the age of 15 I got my first job as a busboy at Captain John’s Seafood Buffet in Virginia Beach, VA. It’s gone now, replaced by a Bank of America, but I remember every wonderful and horrible thing about it. Especially a certain buffet runner that I talked to for the first time over the crab pots and clam chowder in 1997.

11 years later, I married that buffet runner. True story :)
