@dailyprompt by @tcelliott What do you remember about your first job... This was fun... I had done the lawn mower and baby sitting thing but the summer after 8th grade I was a swimming intructor's aide at the local beach and was cut a town check for $11.97. Man, still remember cashing it every week at the corner store! Thanks TC! Great prompt!

Was thinking it would be cool if the chorus sounded like a radio communication LoL!
