My first paycheck job was thru California CET center fir employee training as a placed summer job. A maintainance skash reference desk operator slash gift shop clerk. Then the following summers i was a library page at a public library and then a university library. No wonder I'm a bibliophile.

My first job was working in a role as an administrative assistant/secretary at a large corporation. I was 19, at the time.

I think it's the only time I spend reflecting. Chronic tiredness from Long Covid plus the immunosupressing meds for my Crohn's is slowing me down but everything just seems a massive effort. I am dealing with the paperwork following my father's death but it's not...
