When I was fresh out of high school, I went to work for AT&T as an “Information Operator”. I was replaced by the Internet but no one replaced the ability to call and get someone’s number and have a cheery conversation and get details like “ that’s the third house on Pine” along with the number!
My first “ real job” was as a high school Distributive Education student as a bank teller. I remember buying a navy blue mini- dress with my first paycheck and feeling so proud!
I think my life would be a family saga full of both comedy and tragedy interspersed with a bit of slapstick humor. You would definitely need both Kleenex and popcorn!
