Friday’s Feast #169

Appetizer

What was your first “real” job?

The first job for which I earned money was working in the music department at my high school. I organized and filed music in the library. I believe that I made about $1.25 per hour. When I graduated from high school in 1974, I spent that summer working at Straw Hat Pizza for $2.00 per hour. I saved up enough money to buy myself a beautiful Fender classical guitar. I still have it.

Soup

Where would you go if you wanted to spark your creativity?

A beach. Always a beach.

Salad

Complete this sentence: I am embarrassed when …

I run into a schoolmate and don’t recognize them.

Main Course

What values did your parents instill in you?

Work hard and earn an honest living.
Save money for a “rainy day.“
Never be a burden on others.
Make your own way in the world.  My mother, in particular, always told me to finish my education and establish my own career so that I would be able to earn a living and “never be dependent upon a man.“
Always pay your bills and never be in debt.

Dessert

Name 3 fads from your teenage years.

Platform shoes.
Mood rings.
For guys: Ugly polyester leisure suits worn with cheesy white fake patent leather shoes and a matching belt.
