Oh...my daddy didn't have to fork over many dollars to pay for my undergrad degree. Thanks to his union connections, I was able to get summer jobs that paid enough to cover most of my costs, and with part-time jobs during the semester, I had pocket money, too.

It was still a waste of money if all you can come up with are these brain farts. At least when your buddy Boriwitz comes up with stupid **** and lies, it is presented as satire and fairly well written. You just spew insults and bull****. High school dropouts can do that. You seem to not be able to understand what I am telling you. I've explained it simply and often enough. That I don't post long or original stuff here doesn't make me a troll. Sorry. Clean up the right-wing trash posters here and see what happens. Not my job. My "no show" jobs required me to show up every day and work my ass off for eight to ten hours a day, loading 40' trucks, driving and cleaning forklifts, and crawling inside boilers to clean and repair them, including welding. I doubt you ever worked those sorts of physically demanding jobs in your entire life, unless, perhaps, you chipped ice off the decks of those Coast Guard yachts in the North Atlantic in the winter. Some of my little handyman projects around here are as demanding as that and I am not a teenager Now, how would you know that? Spend nine hours a day on a loading dock, carrying 60-80 pound crates and boxes of merchandise off a pallet and into a hot 40' trailer and stack them floor to ceiling from the nose to the doors? I worked for Swift delivering meat. Walk a block in downtown DC with a hind quarter on your shoulder and get back to me. How about carrying 10 square of shingles from the truck, up the ladder to the roof, then nailing them down. I was 67 Again, how old were you? I dug out a footer that ended up being 2 yards of dirt last summer and that was in Florida heat that is too much for you, sitting in a chair reading your book. Don't **** with me about work, you brag that your education allows you to sit and think in an air conditioned room for a living. Climb inside a funky old boiler out on a railroad siding, armed with manual and torch cutting tools, and spend the day breathing in all the **** that's accumulated in there for a couple of decades? That is just a ****ty job, not necessarily hard. If you like that, I have a septic tank story for you. Maybe if you were armed with more real life skills, you could have found a better job. Hey, I'm not bragging, but those were the sorts of "no show" jobs you claimed I had. So, as usual, your assumptions were...bull****. Sorry, BTW how long did you do that? |

These, as I stated, were my summer jobs between college semesters. I was a teen-ager. I spent two summers as a Teamster, loading trucks at two different plants, and a summer plus some as a cleaner-welder at the old Bigelow Boiler Company, cleaning, guess what, boilers. I assure you, the boiler company job was hard. These were pretty good jobs for a college kid, and paid a lot more than minimum wage back then. I kept up with the welding after college, with a local union and during the day, until I got my ticket. I worked on the morning paper in Kansas City, and had four to five hours of "slack time" during most weekdays and on Saturdays. |

wrote: Ahh. I spent a summer when I was but 15 delivering fish and shellfish to restaurants. Pedaled around on my bike, which was fitted with a small cooler. A friend had a job getting blood from a local slaughterhouse and carrying it in buckets to a medical lab to feed vampire bats. Us kids decided he had the best job. That was when he started college locally. ? My best job was lifeguard. I could hustle up swimming lessons for cash, on the job and I was running a "Junior Lifesaver" class (for free) so I had people to man the chair. (I had a Red Cross WSI ticket) Most of the kids in the pool during the day were in the class anyway. It was basically sitting around under an umbrella talking to teenaged girls. The money was crap tho, less than minimum wage. I only stayed a month but I did get 3 or 4 kids through the program and a few adults learned the basics of swimming, Enough to paddle around in the pool without a float anyway. That was when the guy down at the Teamsters told me he could get me a real job. I wanted a car, so I took the offer. I expected a helper job at Swift but when they found out I had a chauffeurs license I got the driver job, ****ing off the folks who were there. It was good while it lasted. The cash guy didn't care. |
