It was summer time! My first job I got when I was around age of 16 or 17, like few years back, as before that I did not need that much money but this year I needed it more than usual because I was about to start my college and I wanted to have that extra money for my living expenses if anything. Of course as a real brit, one of the first things I did, I mean went to apply, was a local pub but unfortunately they were looking for a bar staff but being 16 at that time I could not server alcohol so that was a no for me. To be honest it was bit hard to find the job and I knew that they pay will be total bulls crap as we have this age based minimum wage thing in UK, which is sad and stupid as the younger people still do the same job that older ones do, but get paid like almost 2-3 quid less in an hour. Anyhow, I had to think bit different to figure out where I would like to work. And so it just happened that Mr. Woosey, our neighbour, elderly man in his 70's, needed someone to take care of his dog while he's in hospital. I thought about it, realised that it might also be a nice companion exercise in the park when running etc. Long story short - For nearly 2 months I was looking after Mr. Woosey's dog Cheryl and I think I made like few hundred quid for having fun.
