What was your very first job with a non-family member (even extended family) ?

96. Carpet installer assistant

Myself and another worker had to take a 24 foot roll of carpet 2 1/2 foot around, up a 3 story staircase.
Which ended at a 90 degree left turn into a hallway. Which eventually had to be installed in a room on the right side of said hallway.
Took us 2 days to get it up the stairs, and bent enough to make the first left.
Then bent again to make the right into the room.
I knew nothing about carpet installation. The other guy had 1 year on the job.
While fitting the carpet inside the room, the other guy accidentally snipped off a portion of a finger tip while snipping carpet to fit along the far wall.
I can still hear the play-by-play
Just a little bit more.
And now just a little snip.
OH DAMN!
Mother Hubbard!
Bisquick!
My finger!!!
End of that job
Just the installation job
Carpet store owner finished it himself
After his wife found out he let 2 teenagers attempt the job.
