RE: Thank You For Helping Me Reach 70 Rep! // 20 SBD Giveaway – Building Community

Congratulations Lea!!! That's quite the accomplishment! Thank you for all of the entertainment and great steemit advice you put out there.

Ok, I'm going with the "first job" suggestion haha! When I was in high school I worked at a pet store called Slither City in. All we sold was reptiles - snakes, lizards, tortoises. Oh yeah, and tarantulas, scorpions, frogs, and feeder rodents. It was a pretty crappy job at times but also a lot of fun for a high schooler. Especially when I got to deal with the 15+ foot, sometimes aggressive pythons lol! Lots of crazy memories from those 3 years of working there.

Cheers!!!

Wow! Yeah, that would have been a really cool job as a teen. Did you ever have any escapees? Yikes! That's why I refuse to have snakes as pets in my home. I have held them at events or at other homes, but just can't get over the thought of a creepy-crawlie getting free in my home. Nope. 🤣

Haha! Yes they did escape! We once had a big (10+ foot) python escape and it ended up getting into the ceiling. It then decided to come back down through the ceiling in the bathroom of the bird-only pet shop next door, hahaha! The owner of the bird shop was thrilled... Really, the feeder rodents were the worst when they escaped. They'd chew holes in the walls and have babies in the walls. Fun times!

I would have loved that job as a high school kid! I worked at Round Table pizza for my first gig (Outside of babysitting and gardening for my neighbors) haha.

Oh, yeah, I guess I babysat a little bit when I was real young.
Haha! I also worked at a Round Table, in college. Delivery dude... Some CRAZY stories from that job too.

lol, nice a fellow Knight! I started at 15 as a pizza maker. left at 17, came back at 19 as a delivery driver. I loved that job, my 98 Camaro didn't.

I was 18/19 when I worked there while attending college at Humboldt State University. Yeah... a lot of miles were added to my old Toyota truck but not that bad of a job.

That's really bold of you, never had the privilege of doing stuffs like this. Am sure I wouldn't have anyways 😂

It was a pretty fun job as a teenager but glad I'm not doing that any more haha!
