*edited to fix annoying typos. I post from my phone when I wake up, since I'm already 3 hours behind a bunch of you. I tend to not check my work.

Re: Wacky Wednesday Poll
I was in 4-H. I had a whole wall of ribbons from various projects. I think the ones I won most often were stamp collecting, needlecraft, computers, and microwave cooking. (Yes, microwave cooking was a category at the fair. You had to bake cakes and brownies in the microwave. It required a lot of trial and error!)
2) What was your first job?
Book reviewer for The Indianapolis Star.
3) What can your hear right this moment?
2) What was your first job? I was a cashier at Toys R Us. I ended up working for the company for over 10 years.
3) What can your hear right this moment? Desperation from myself and my coworkers.
2) What was your first job? In HS, I worked at the catalog and credit desk at JC Penney during Christmas. ETA: My first real job was as the attorney for the RI State Division of Motor Vehicles. Good times. Whenever people would ask me what I did for work, I would always just say "I work for the state."
3) What can your hear right this moment? Cars on the highway and the a truck backing up at the construction site outside my office window.
Sugar & Spice
2) What was your first job? I managed one of my parents' bakeries, then I opened my own little side cupcake business and I make fancy cupcakes for events/parties.
3) What can your hear right this moment? My spotify playlist (Tessellate by alt-J) and various office sounds (printers, keyboard clacking, muffled conversations, phones ringing)
2) What was your first job? Retail-worked in a drug store
3) What can your hear right this moment? Phones ringing, fingers typing on keys
2) What was your first job? I bused tables at a breakfast place.
3) What can your hear right this moment? The client services meeting happening outside my office.
2) What was your first job? It was at an herb farm. The legal kind.

2) What was your first job? I worked at McDonald's on an Army base. It was horrible for a multitude of reasons. A truly DISGUSTING related tidbit - I still have my uniform, and it still smells like grease. I'm now keeping it as a sort of experiment to see how long the stench survives. It has already been TWENTY ONE YEARS since I last wore it.
3) What can you hear right this moment? My boss talking to a coworker, the insanely loud a/c right over my head.

2) What was your first job? I worked at Hallmark in the 11th grade.
“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to."
"I don't much care where –"
"Then it doesn't matter which way you go.”

I was a cashier at Kmart for a brief time but I consider my first job a hostess at LoneStar steakhouse.
I hear our white noise system.

@MrsC7 I'm originally from the south side. I did freelance reviews when I was in middle/high school, so it's been a looong time. I think when Ganett bought the paper they may have switched to mostly shared reviews across their national papers. It became a very different news room after the acquisition and most people I know cut ties. I wasn't even sure if it was still in print!
