6 posts | 7 read | 9 to read
Perhaps Studs Terkel's best-known book, Working is a compelling look at jobs and the people who do them. Consisting of over one hundred interviews with everyone from a gravedigger to a studio head, from a policeman to a piano tuner, this book provides an enduring portrait of people's feelings about their working lives.

Read this back in the 90s so I don't remember for sure, but I'll bet there are bad boss stories within 😆

#wondrouswednesday @Eggs

1. If cleaning our church once a week for $20 counts, then I was 13. Otherwise, my first real job was a pizza delivery guy at 16.

2. No, unless you count writing, but that's more of a hobby/creative release. I'm certainly not doing it for the money! 😁

3. Yes, if you work for the federal government. I can't complain one bit about the schedule and flexibilities I have now.

Celebrating and recognizing all those who demonstrated, protested, and went on strike for more humane working conditions, and all who are working now to rebuild a strong labor movement. We have more work to do, undoubtedly; but I hope folks can enjoy a day of rest today. #LaborDay #FallTreasures

Kindle loaded and ready. (For breaks between speakers, of course)

Theresa Of course! 8y
mom2bugnbee Who signed your Kindle cover? (Apologies if you've answered this before. I'm new here. 😊) 8y
Lola @mom2bugnbee Actually, you're the first to ask! Welcome to Litsy! M.O. Williams signed it at an author event he did at my local indie, @RoscoeBooks I read the book on my Kindle so didn't have a copy for him to sign. When I decided to have him sign the cover, I thought I'd fill it with author sigs but he took up the whole cover ???It says "Best Reader Ever" because it was clear from my questions I had read the book ? 8y
angrylilasian That's so cool! I'm hoping to make it to the next Read Harder meeting at RoscoeBooks! 8y
Lola @angrylilasian I'm planning to be there! Looking forward to meeting you! 8y
