Less than 8 minutes from initial post to turn a light-hearted post into one of 'those' threads.

It's standard practice. In my days the plan was always, graduation, attend theme park job fair, get a job, work all summer, save up some money, go away to college, spend all your summer money, come back on vacation and get back on the schedule! Repeat until you find a good paying summer job.

Publix is hiring...seriously they are a wonderful company. I know you live around Americana, I know one of the managers at the Publix on JYP and Americana. You can use my name if you'd like, DM me for that


And to you and Crane's Rooster, my first job was Outdoor Food and Beverage at Disney MGM Studios (screw it, it will never be "Hollywood Studios" to me)

That was back in 2006, I hated that job so much that I walked out of it. I applied at McDonald's and 3 months after getting less than 10 hrs a week, I applied at Publix and starting earning so real money and working good hours

Which is why Im back there again!

Agreed. It sounds lame. I never stopped calling it "MGM"

Im glad everybody liked the photo

I made it for the purpose of humor and to make everyone laugh. Also to show people who dont live here, that we pretty much live normal lives like everyone else

FWIW, I havent been to any Orlando theme park since 2009. Havent had a reason to go. When my friends and I go out, we go to bowling, or to a bar, or a restaurant

When I interned in San Francisco for a summer I went to the Golden Gate Bridge all of 2 times (even though I could see it from my house), Lombard St. once, the Warf a few times and never even got out to Alcatraz. If I went back today on vacation, I'd do all that in 3 days.
