Absolutely loved it. So enjoyed your fun and funny descriptions. Nothing funny about it of course at it was the job that fed your family.
Many years ago, like, seventy two I took the civil service test and filled out my job application at the Bloomington,Illinois Post Office. They told me it’d take a couple weeks until they’ed get back to me. Meanwhile I took another factory job. Two weeks later they phoned me to tell me I had the job.
To my deepest regret even to this day I thanked them profusely and told them I’d found a job already.
Damn.
Thanks for the great story.
