What I learned from my first paid job

This week’s #WeeklyWrites, we’re talking about our first paid job, and what we learned from it.  I can’t really recall which paid job I had first in my life.  It could’ve been the comic book store, Omni Comics and Cards, my grandma’s restaurant China Jade at a flea market, or Debbie Wong’s, a friend of the family’s Chinese restaurant, but I think it might be one of two others.  I’m going to tell you about both of them.  These two jobs were the beginning of my experience in the performance & service industries.
