Thanks 
Lol yea this is in fact my first computer job. The only thing to come close was when I worked at my Aunt and Uncle's cell phone shop, I got to screw with cell phones sometimes and once in a while a pager, and since the name of the business had the word Computer in it a lot of people thought they sold computers and hardware, which they didn't, it was in the name because they offered a monitoring service done by a computer.
So whenever people came in asking computer questions, my Aunt and Uncle generally told them they had no idea what they were asking about, unless I was there, then I gave them advice.. That's about it though lol.
I spent most of the slow days by myself. It got to the point that my Aunt and Uncle didn't even want to show up anymore so they had me open for them and stay there all day until the end of the day when it was time to close. I helped close up after a long day playing Doom and Quake and Wolfenstein on a 486 he had in there and walking to the store across from the cell shop which was a hobby store with a Mountain Dew machine so I went in there a lot to get Mountain dew and AMP so I could stay awake in there in case a customer came.
And of course once in a while I had my fun with phone company employees who came in to try and get them to sell a new service and my Uncle would let me screw with them for a while before telling them to get out so we could get back to playing Doom.
I do sometimes miss screwing with the AT%T pay phone my Uncle bought and had installed in the mall. It was HIS pay phone so I got to play with that too He let me mess with it for a while sometimes if it was really slow.
The best part was that telemarketers would for some reason call the PAY PHONE and we just couldn't help ourselves, we acted like shoppers walking through the mall answering it to see who was calling a pay phone.
Oddly enough these people STILL tried to make a sale even though as far as they knew we were people shopping in a mall and answering the pay phone.
He let me take it apart once too after an idiot kid stuffed something in it trying to break it which was nice.
Other than that I've mostly done restaurant jobs. I'm a pretty good cook, but I hate doing it for a job.
Ah well, called my boss back to tell him to order that shiny new HD =)
