Summer of 1976 - worked in an insulation factory.
My job was at end of the production line - there was a metal ramp where the still-warm 2’ X 6” slabs of rigid insulation slid down from the ovens. We would pick it up and place it in boxes, then place the boxes on pallets to be hauled away.
Brutally hot that summer, but we were dressed like it was winter - toques on our head, long pants and long woolen shirts taped at the wrists, all in an effort to keep the insulation out (it didn't work). I think I sweated off 10 lbs. a day, and always went home itchy. We were paid $6./hr, a princely sum at the time, especially for a high school student.
BUT as bad as it was, I was damn glad to have the job, and considered myself luckier than most.

You have an attitude of gratitude.

The Occupiers have an attitude of entitlements. Freebies. Give me what I want or I will threaten you. As they chant all about Love. What a bunch of frauds.
