Deception

It just isn't something you forget. No even at 80.

My first job was with the city parks dept.
Mowing grass during the summer months.
I was 14 at the time and the pay was $.50 an hour.
My first job on the Railroad was $.66 an hours 7 days a week.
I was 16 then.

Was that during the Lincoln or Johnson Administration?

I worked for my Dad. 10.00 buck a week....he took out taxes..$7.52 per week. Half had to go into a savings account....he took care of stuff...but good memories. I college my job at the school Dairy was 65 cents an hour. All worked out.

My first job was on a dairy farm. I started at $1.75 and hour and worked my way up to mimimum wage - $2.90. I hated that job at the time, but it taught be to work. It also taught me that cows do not take days off for anything. You have to milk twice a day, every day - and that is the easy part.

Haaa! "Worked your way up to minimum" wage did you?

Did you learn your way around a shovel?

I learned my way around just about everything on that farm. I actually learned to drive in an old pickup on that farm, among other things. I also learned that the work day started at 4:30AM and was finished when I was done.

Finishing when your done is the best of jobs...and the worst of jobs! Likely not the best for you in that situation. I like it when somebody gives me "a days work" as that is what it took on average for the people who came beofre me. (Knowing people I figure they squeeze in some more work here.) Within a week people want to renegotiate with me what a days work means! I've went through this everywhere I've been.

Yeah, on the farm your list grew every time you completed a task. In the late spring (after school was out) we could hit 18 hours for some stretches. My dad said that would keep me out of trouble. He was wrong.

Haaaa!!! That cracked me up! LOL!

Imagine if you had not worked!
