As someone with a positive first working experience as a teenager (my county library's bookmobile), I was stunned at how un-joyous my first adult job was. Long, boring hours processing insurance claims until 4:30 when the CEO read from Bible on the loudspeaker. Those were the days! Sometimes wonder if they're really gone.
Thanks for sharing your experience, Barbara. My impression is that a lot of people have positive initial working experiences, though I know many younger people who started in fast food and felt like it sucked the soul right out of them.
Your first adult job sounds like something really... um... special. But now I know I can turn to you if I ever need to know WWJD. ⛪️
Thank you. Yes, I recorded it and I'm hoping to do more of that — probably for most of my posts. It's easy to record it directly or upload an audio file. In your Substack editing window, just click on the headphones icon at near the top of the page and you may find the rest of the process intuitive.

He wouldn't recommend working at the Missouri Farmers Insurance Association to have your soul restored!
I like the audio option, Bob! Is this you? I'll have to figure out how to do that. Also, a neat surprise that the young newsboy was...Walt Disney!

Ah yes, I see that headphones icon now. I may give that a try one day. :) Thanks Bob!
