“unemployment pays better than working.”
My son is getting paid more now than when he had is job. But he wishes he had his job.
One of my young daughters said she is really busy at work.
“Oh - the older folks afraid to come in?”
“No - the kids my age that are taking sick days and getting paid for it. All the older folks want to work.”
“Well - I’m glad you are sticking with it.”
“Its great! I’m getting $2 an hour more for my regular 8 hours. And then I work another 4 hours overtime which they are doing at double pay now - and no limit on overtime hours as long as I’m keeping busy.”
(She was just named employee of the month. I hope she doesn’t run herself ragged and get sick. But she’s young - 12 hour days should be doable for awhile).

On the fair circuit, 12-14 hour days are every day at the fair...then comes slough night when its a 20-22 hour day, then drive to the next town after a coupld of hours sleep. Been doing that for some 25 years and we are senior citizens.
