My father got me a clerk’s job in a government office when I was in high school. It was just for the summer. It went well, but didn’t amount to much.

The thing I remember most about that job is a briefcase a woman, who was also a summer clerk, carried into work every day. Still would love to find a bag like that.

Nowt’ wrong with Spitty. I have logged every single run I have ever done since 1980. Every run, even just training runs have a time, distance and most have a comment recorded. I started recording them in a ledger and then used spreadsheets when computers became the thing.

Logging information is great, yes, and I’m impressed you have been so consistent with it! I just don’t have that patience, or determination to keep it up sadly.

Morning Spitty…
I hope you are not on a downward spiral Spitty. I’ll be keeping a close eye on your future performance… :eye:

You thought you looked cool at the time?

Scruffy gits is putting it politely…it was so long ago but we probably thought we oozed street cred.
That was taken in Stratford East London, it doesn’t look like that anymore although I’m sure you know that d00d :wink: :+1:

My first job was babysitting but that’s not really a real job. My first real job was waitressing at a downtown restaurant. I was 15 and worked there for 8 months. When I left home at 16 I got a job in a pet shop which I really loved. I worked in the ‘fish’ department helping customers set up aquariums with compatible fish.

I well remember my first job back in 1960 as a 15 year old starting out as an apprentice electrician. Often having to travel getting so called away from home allowance on top of pay
. Had to do a 60 hr 5day week because those qualifed did and had no way of getting home apart from the works transport.
first pay packet was £5 and15 shillings of which £2 and 5 shillings was the away frolm home allowance
then my parents made me pay 10 shilling (50p in new money) for living at home

how many kids would do that now I wonder
what it did for me is realise one could get on in life by hard graft

Oh yes. I had a 10 gallon aquarium when I was about 10 years old then got a 20 gallon one when I got older. It was a nice community take with guppies, swordtails, tetras, small angel fish, catfish and algae eater. I found it very relaxing.
