Summer Worker (no, this isn't part of the OFW series)

As mid-April approaches, I need to say this:

2010 is the first year/summer of my life (yes, of my entire life) that I am employed. Employed and working and no summer vacation!

Yeah, I graduated from the university two years ago, so that summer, I was still unemployed. I started working June 2008, then resigned from my first job March last year.

April - May 2009 was still a summer vacation, as I was looking for what then was my would-be second job.

Ten months later, here I am, working on a summer day for the first time in my entire life. There has to be a "first", indeed.
