Job Story #28 goes back in time twenty-one years to Thanksgiving 1997. I recorded a trip home for Thanksgiving, with the intention of using the audio on my old WFMU talk show, Aerial View (see below). While I'm sitting around without an actual gig, one "job" I've taken on is digitizing old cassettes and other physical media. Much of the audio is raw recordings done in my car - what I called "Roadkill" - later boiled down for use on air. Revisiting the raw recordings has unearthed treasures I didn't know were there. In this case, it's audio of family members no longer with us. My Aunt Isabel. My mother. One of my sisters. My brother-in-law. My mother's boyfriend (though, in fairness, I only suspect he's dead). They are all here. It may be one of the last Thanksgivings we spent together, everyone but my brother Mario, who was down in Florida and had to be there by phone.If you’d like to tell yourJob Story, email it to jobstorypod@gmail.com or submit it on the Facebook Group pa

Job Story #17 is a bit of a cop-out. I'll admit it, I wanted Labor Day off. But something interesting happened. While dubbing material for my ongoing "Defunct Media Digitizing Project" I stumbled across an Aerial View from four years ago that sowed the seeds for this podcast. The episode is from Sep. 2, 2014 and is entitled "The Working Life". Here's the description from the playlist page:Tonight, I'd like to hear your stories about the best and worst gigs you've had and what you've learned on the job. Other things to discuss:How do you prepare for your work day?Living on unemployment.The job search.Co-worker Conflict.Horrible Bosses.The Day I Got Fired.Weekend Warrior.Public Employees: Scum of the Earth?I don't like Mondays: the worst day of the week at work.Scary Co-workers: Are you armed?Slacking on the Job.Changing Careers.Romance in the Workplace.Watercooler Gossip.When Do You Know It's Time to Go?LinkedIn, Monster.com, Career Builder & other job search sites.That's Job Storyright
