My dad told me, like I think I was like probably a baby, that his money was his money, and um, I didn't have any money until I got a job, so um, I had to get up out there and get like, now, mind you, I don't want to like say, my parents didn't like totally like give me everything under the sun, similar to you. I like, you know, I had everything I wanted, but my dad was like, yeah, this is my money, so um, which was aft. So
I decided to get a job at like fifteen. But that was like the best thing he could have ever liked taught me. And I try to instill that in my kids, but they'd be getting over I'd just be behind him everything. Um. But anyway, So at fifteen, I went out and got a job at Heart Ease. That was my first job, best eating up in town, up and down all around. I think that's the slogan. I don't know I made that up. So um, they realized I was fifteen, like after the first week, they were like, girl,
you're too young. You can't work here because it was like some child labor law. I thought I could. They were like your fire And I got fired from my first job in like five days. Okay. So um. I worked at chest Peake Bay Seafood House, which was like all you can eat spot. So it's like they don't have these anymore, I don't think, but like you pay a certain price and you can get everything on the menu, and so like you have the waitress has to like run back to the to the kitchen every eight seconds.
Oh my god. And people used to ask me, like, our yoursues comfortable, because you're gonna be running the night gairl ore issues comfortable. I said, now I can't do this, I quick right long after that was about four days, okay. So then I started working for Postal Pizza, which was like equivalent to like a Domino. Okay. So I was the girl that answered the phone. I was like, hello Postal Pizza, can I help you please? And I would take their order okay okay, and then the drivers will
come and get the pizza and drive it out. So I would literally have five phones in front of me and they would all be ringing at the same time, and I was the only girl there to answer, and I'd be like, posta Pizza, can you hold on please click pust the pizza. What you need post Pizza postal pizza. It was a mess. So sometimes my dad would like prank me. He would call and he'd be like, gaze, he talked real slow, Giselle, your dad. So I've been on a hole for thirty five minutes and I don't
understand why I have to wait this long. Oh my god, Dad, leave me, leave me a loan. Yeah. He was like, I just wanted to hear you say post to pizza. Gn you please. My dad is the worst. Okay. So I stayed there like throughout high school. Okay. So then my dad was like all right, Giselle. You know he thought I was going to be like, um super smart and um be like a doctor or something. I don't know what do you So he was like, I'm gonna
get yourself some internships. Okay. So one of the internships was when I told you all before I was doing autopsies, yeah, on dead bodies, which was insane, Like why am I doing this? Like this is this is not even fit. I am like a cute girl, Okay, what am I doing cutting up bodies? Okay? That was a hot mess. Um, So I stopped doing that, and then eventually when I got out of college, I worked for the double a
CP and I started doing their events. So I like you, I understand like how you have eight hundred balls in the air for events, but they all like have to come together and it's not like it's hard, but you have to do everything or else the whole thing of fall apart. Yeah, it's a lot. And so then that's where I got to meet like President Clinton and Hillary Clinton.
And because we I had to interface with politicians and corporations and it was like that was a great job, Like I love that job and it was like not work for me exactly, so that that was fantastic. And in I did pharmaceutical sales, so I was like paid drug dealer. Oh and those doctors love to see you in the door. There was like zails here is this is the thing. All of the pharmaceutical sales reps are good looking, like that's I think the criteria. Yes, and
I'm gonna pay you well. We got paid well. Like our car. Things aren't like they used to be because like I used to be able to take my doctor. Like one I had a doctor. She was like real crazy. She was like, let's go to the strip club, right. I used to take her to the strip club. I'll probably get men there was men dance. I would take her to the Ship Club. And at the strip club you could get a receipt because I would want to
get reimbursed. You can get a receipt that's blank, so at the top it doesn't say it's it's very generic. What the name is like restaurant exactly, and then you know that way and because clearly I'm not the only person get trying to get and burst and they've done this before, they know how to do this, So I would ask for the special receipt and um, they knew exactly what I was talking about. And I used to take doctor. That was her name. I shouldn't make that.
Shouldn't have said that. It was a lot of doctor. Yeah, we would go to strict club. We would have a ball. Okay, I'd be like Drake saw me where to strip us that, let's get to dollars. Let's make it rain. This is before to make it rain. So you're the reason they cut back on that, because I know they cut all that mess back. Oh, they don't do that anymore. Yeah, this.
I was a pharmaceutical rep in the good old days when you could literally like take your doctor anywhere, and it was fine, you can, you can just like write it off. So they quit that because I I roined it for everyone. I had a job running UM like the meetings, the dinner meetings for pharmaceutical UM company. Yes, and they hired they hired this company that I worked for for compliance reasons because the reps would be like
so out of control. So I would be there UM just kind of like making sure everything was above board. Oh wow, it was like the wild wild West back then. If you knew a drug wrap, and let's say you needed drugs, right, you know, over the counter drugs, you would just you would swap out like he had. I was orthor McNeil. If you had a five of rap, you swap out some drugs. I saw birth control pills. Everybody was looking for me because everybody wanted birth control
pills for their girlfriend. So you know, it was definitely wrong what we were doing. But we had fun. Yes, Yeah, y'all ruined it. Y'all ruined it for everybody. Y'all ruined it. Now they're like so strict, so you cannot you cannot do anything. We hope you enjoyed that reasonably shady highlight.
