It was miserable! I think I was 15 years old and had to have parental permission. I worked a couple of summers cleaning rooms at a Holiday Inn. One of the types where the room doors face the outdoors. The summers were brutally hot and humid and I developed heat rash over much of my body. I wasn't particularly good at that job. It taught me that I never wanted to do such horrible labor ever again. I quit it and the next summer jobs were in offices.

As for first adult longer-term job, it was teaching ESL to children in Taiwan.

Q: What sound(s) do you hear right now?
