I worked in a movie theater through out high school. It was cool because I had my own money but sucked at the same time since it wasnt the greatest of jobs a person could have. But at least I got to see movies for free and before all my friends. laugh.gif What did you all do during high school?

Worked at a Pizza place right after high school. 3 years of hell at that place 5-8 hours a day either standing in front of a 600 deg gas fired brick oven sweating my ass off, or standing in front of a wooden table rolling dough balls in the back room with no air conditioner. Least I got free pizza. Rollin dough balls gets you buff thou, its very physical when you have to roll out 3 batches of dough a day and where talkin dough batches that could fill a 5 gallon bucket. I was probably at my most fit in summer of 04 when I quit that job.
