From paper route to small business, Part 1 is the first 20 jobs I worked, through high school to my early 30s (roughly 1990 to 2011).These short tales of what feels like a never-ending search to find a place in the world of work will ignite familiarity in anyone who has, or knows someone who has, experienced a similar path of employment.

SPOILER: 3 months after landing what I thought was finally MY full-time, permanent job in Vancouver 2017, I was diagnosed with a brain tumour. Waiting for the surgery date has created the life space to finish this collection of stories. More on this in Part 2.
