Today I come to talk about my past jobs.
I started working as soon as I turned eighteen.
I was looking for a job quickly because I wanted to save money.
My dream was to buy my own van.
Before being a waitress, I worked as a babysitter and an English teacher.
My first official job was as a waitress during university.
I wasn't a permanent worker, but an extra waitress.
A company would call me when a restaurant needed help.
They paid me seven euros an hour, which seemed fine to me.
It was the perfect job because the schedule was very flexible.
At first, I worked mainly at large business events.
I had to walk around with a tray full of food and drinks.
After the first night, my arms were very tired.
Carrying drinks is more dangerous because glass cups are very heavy.
My favorite trays were the bamboo ones because they were light.
Later, I started working at weddings held in a castle.
We wore a gray uniform with a special apron.
I learned to serve food using a fork and a spoon as tongs.
I also learned to carry three plates with my hands at the same time.
I loved weddings because they lasted many hours.
One day I was called urgently to work at the Marieta restaurant.
When I arrived, I was completely lost.
I had to memorize the table numbers.
This dish goes to table one hundred and one, they said in the kitchen.
It was a very intense night, but also very fun.
However, I made a fatal mistake that I still remember.
I was serving meat to a girl wearing a blue dress.
Suddenly, all the sauce from the plate fell on her dress.
I felt very guilty, but she was very kind and calmed me down.
And you, what jobs have you had in your life?
