Besides being Income Tax Day, today was
verily a Red Letter Day – one of the biggest
in my life for I got myself a job. Chuck
Gondak from the telephone company, phoned
and offered it to me, after putting good
things on my reference blank. Honestly –
I'm so thrilled about it – Imagine my
earning over six dollars a week and
having fun too. Of course, the novelty may
wear off but it's wonderful now. I
don't sit at the switchboard – just
record the outgoing long distance calls,
and switch them over to the Richmond
operator. It's such fascinating work,
and makes you appreciate the stuff
that an operator does. Golly, I couldn't
be more enthusiastic about it. I'll
have to budget my time, but I think
I'll be able to do it. It's sort of a
challenge. My, how dramatic!
I visited in the dorm this afternoon.
