This is my participation in the initiative [WE101] of @galenkp, in the community the weekend, select stop time.
I would stop in 1978, when I was 17 years old and started my first job as a secretary (without knowing anything hahaha), there my boss taught me and I lasted 9 years.
I choose this year for two reasons, the first was that I made friends with a co-worker named Nubia, she invited me every two weeks to visit tascas, inns and restaurants in the east side of our city in Caracas, I enjoyed those outings and I knew many places.
I remember that one day a week, when we left work at 4:00 in the afternoon, we opened the yellow pages and blindly chose the place, we called the cab and went to recreate for a couple of hours, we listened to live music, ate, drank and danced. In those places sometimes we didn't pay the bill, because there were guys who would start talking to us and when it was our turn to leave around 7:00 at night, then they would insist and pay our bill. We collected the stirrers (you can see them on the cover of this post), some of them had the name of the place and we used them to know how many places we had visited and the piña coladas we had drank hahaha.
The second reason is that, thanks to that job, I was able to collaborate with my mother, to buy an apartment in Caricuao and for the maintenance of my 5 siblings. We were also able to help (my mother and I), some classmates who were going through difficult times in their homes. Mom and I really enjoyed helping other people. She is now in heaven, and that year was wonderful for us and our family and friends.
