PROMPT: Write about the weirdest job you’ve ever had.
I offered candied almonds at a fair to passers-by. They were made right on site from this fancy german made machine and smelled absolutely delicious. Cinnamon, vanilla and brown sugar goodness. I put on an apron and a visor with the almond seller’s logo and held out a shiny metal plate yelling “Free sample! Candied almonds!!” Some people, despite my screams, would walk up and ask if I was selling meat bits.
Yes. I know.
It wasn’t a glamorous job and the owner was a fast-tempered Italian man who blew a gasket over the smallest things. I got paid a pittance. But I got into the fair for free and on my break I got to walk the fair and eat whatever I wanted plus extra tickets for my family. At the price of a wicked tan line on my neck, I had a pretty good two weeks of work every summer.
