First actual job? Probably a PS2 game back in high school.

Odd chores around the neighborhood? No idea, probably a book ha.

I thought I was the only one who did such a lame and pathetic thing after receiving his first paycheck.I went to the most expensive supermarket which sells imported food items that are considered such a niche and novelty around here and bought so much of these pointless, stupid stuff. I remember having 4 types of cereals at the same time lying around in my room. I also indulged in quality Israeli products rofl.

I miss having a job.

Was going to stay quiet until I saw your post and decided to combine my voice with yours :P

@deeliman: It actually is and I didn't pay attention to it. I'm not sure if it has an English equivalent. I think it would be "Join forces with someone" or something like that.

If you're trying to get technical and count money that I got from family for working around the house I probably used it for an old Bugs Bunny game that came out for the NES in 1990. At least that is the first thing I remember buying with my own cash outside of candy.

I can't pinpoint it perfectly, but I'm almost certain that the majority of it went towards video games. I'm sure that stesilaus would be bitching about child labor, but **** that. 21st-century child labor is the shit. Video games, junk food, movie tickets, etc., and NO BILLS.

My first paycheck was a very long time ago, but in my current job, one of the first things I did when the paychecks started coming in was build my new rig. It was a really rewarding experience, especially when I powered it on for the first time and it worked!

Sounds more analogous to "just throwing my 2 cents in".

What I was meaning to say is that I wanted to support and reinforce his position or like relate to it myself.

I don't think we have anything like "add my voice to yours" except for the formal "I second that" or perhaps "I can relate".

I do like "add my voice to yours", though...I may start using it. :-D

As a non-native speaker, you can confuse expressions and structures of your native language with those of your second language and vice versa, resulting in somehow amusing expressions and anomalies :P

And by all means, spread creativity around rofl

I've often wondered about just how much the syntax of language dictates thought and therefore culture.

It's difficult to give a short synapses of what I'm trying to say...maybe something like: Is 'German Engineering' a result of German language and its effect on the syntax of a native speakers thought?

But umm...that's another topic, I suppose.

Probably weed, possibly with a blunt wrap and some crack to sprinkle on it which was what I enjoyed at the time.
