Love reading old journals....sometime...Cool story -<br />Love reading old journals....sometimes they show such clarity at a time in our lives when we thought was muddled.<br />I've been in and out of college, and in and out of dead end jobs - back in school again - the economy sucks and there are no jobs.<br />Happy weekend!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574293206710725103.post-12412989687311632982012-09-25T10:22:22.937-07:002012-09-25T10:22:22.937-07:00A neat story; thanks for making my day with someth...A neat story; thanks for making my day with something happy -- not necessarily your past self on the Amtrack phone but your now self looking back from a different life.<br /><br />My job during college was at a factory which made transformers (the kind that hang on the poles outside) and I had to clean the metal parts of oil in preparation for their being welded. My machine was ten feet high, five feet wide where I stood and about forty feet long. A set of horizontal hanging traveling screens would pass by and I would load the oily parts onto the screens so that they didn't touch. The machine would spray the parts with a solvent which would wash off the oil then dry the parts with a hot-air stream. Then I would take off the parts wearing heavy rubber gloves and stack them in big wire baskets to be shuffled to the assembly line for use. I often wondered how anyone could do this for year after year (I had only to do it for 3 months) but I guess a person will do what is necessary if depended on by a family -- I was not. I eventually graduated with a BSME and lived ever after.<br /><br />Sorry for the old memory, but I had need no journal to bring back those feelings.<br /><br />What kind of art do you do; what is your medium?<br /><br />goatmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02317617928368945316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574293206710725103.post-69315985236078182232012-09-22T18:43:31.476-07:002012-09-22T18:43:31.476-07:00Happy Equinox!Happy Equinox!Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14912163929816619485noreply@blogger.com
