That was probably one of the mainstays of the economy. There is a town to the north called Brooklyn that is/was pretty much all strip clubs and massage parlors.

The last time I was down there I was on I-55 and my mind was preoccupied and I missed the exit to I-255, even though I had driven there countless times. I stayed on 55 into ESL because I could get to where I was going by getting off on Route 3. But they had reconfigured the highway and exits to accommodate the new Stan Musial Bridge, and it was unfamiliar to me, so I prayed fervently that I wouldn’t take the wrong exit.

I did make one trip through ESL on Google maps streetview. Most of the places I knew were dilapidated or gone. The building I had worked in, probably 4-5 stories tall, had collapsed because of neglect.

Like, like I don’t know what to tell her.

Like maybe get fired and go on unemployment.

Tomorrow I will wake up at 0300 and drive an hour to work. Some days I am gone for 18 hrs.

At that hour there are many other commuters on the road. They deserve respect.

Poor baby.

My kids were working 20 to 30 hours a week and going to college full time. My eldest did this while planning his wedding and still came out Magna Cum Laude.

My middle child is dual majoring in microbiology and sign language interpreting, is working as a supplemental instructor, and pulls another 20 hours a week on the side at a second job. GPA is 4.1.

Heck, they had it easy! I was working 40 hours a week managing a restaurant, pulling 21 credits a semester, 3.9 GPA, fulfilling my duties as a regional beauty pageant winner, and planning a wedding.

Adulting is hard for the weak.

No sympathy here.

Most of my early jobs were 8-6. Later on before I retired, I think we were getting off at 5. It was a smaller community so it never took long to drive to work. Learning a trade & making a living at the same time was a little trickier. Paychecks were never very big in any of all the years I worked, but I got by. I did this for all of my working years.

Good for you! Being indispensable has a great deal of value, they did not see it.

21+ years without doing a damn thing, is how she got there. No dishes after dinner, no learning how to cook with Mom, mowing the lawn, then raking up the grass. No paper routes, picking berries or beans on summer days. No cooking at the local restaurant or waiting tables for her. HER JOB was going to school.

Well, she didn’t really say anything against her job or workplace or her boss. She was just complaining about the new schedule.

Oh please! I started my career right after the Carter Years and the beginning of Reaganโ€™s two terms. The inflation rate was near 20%, high unemployment and mortgage rates were astronomical.

My starting salary was $15,000/yr. The first year was probation, one whole year! No vacation days, no sick days.

You and she can cry me a river.

When I graduated my mom told me, ‘You went to bed and slept for 2 days...we thought you were sick.’

She told me she knew when I was sick, I’d just go to my room and shut the door.

It’s true that it’s harder today. OTOH, much better in the US than China, Somalia, etc. Americans are fortunate. Even the poorest.
