Quote:By the way, on the break thing, I've had my job 3 years and took one break that whole time. I'd rather just get the work done, and I've had some days that are like 15 hours long.Well, that's admirable. When I worked as a cashier, I just used my break so I could go to the bathroom and get off of my feet for a while. Jobs where you don't get to sit down suck, and I swore I wouldn't be doing one this summer. By some miracle, I get to sit down now. I have to unbolt and rebolt scalding hot pilot valves covered in oil, but at least I get to sit. For the past few days, I've also been a supervisor. They assigned an Indian guy to write down the temperatures while I adjusted the pressure. I had to train him myself, and it wasn't easy. It's not just that he lacked English fluency, I think he was mentally challenged. I showed him how to turn off the motor at least ten times, and he still forgot and gave me an oil bath. Once he grasped it, finally, he became a pretty hard worker. I think I'd still take him over your flock of lazy bastards.
