LOL! I think that sounds far more sinister than was intended! Do you have to report to the godfather every morning? ;)
I worked for my dad from the time I was 16 until I was a junior in college... after school and weekends when I was in HS, school breaks the first couple years of college. He owned a gas station/repair shop at the time... I pumped gas, changed tires, fixed flats, looked after the parts inventory, little stuff like that. I loved it. (I know, I know, not a very womanly job!)
My dad was a strict boss, but because it was a family busines (my mom also worked for him) I took extreme pride in what I was doing. I found it brought me closer to both of my parents, which was cool, considering my early teens were spent locking horns with my dad.
Honestly, I wish it paid anything near what I make now... sure I stunk of gasoline and melted in the summer and froze in the winter, but in a lot of ways it was better than sitting in a stuffy corporate office all day.
