Amazing

I'm on my second month on this small metal factory. When I applied here, I never realized I'd be in an all male environ. Two of my colleagues are in their 70's but when you see their lean body, and muscled arms and no sagging skin and firm stance you would say they are (May I borrow from Mr. Jim's vocabulary.) the epitome of the Japanese workers who made Japan rise from the ruins of war. One of them to be exact is 76 yrs old. He didn't even had to work since he's receiving something like 2,500 US dollars a month but he is still working. The youngest of them is 30. Iam kind of enjoying being around them as each one seems to be very willing to teach me the ins and outs of the machine Iam assigned to. The only taxing part is, I have to walk for 20 mins in going there as no bus leaves around that time. No choice but to bear. Overall, I get to see the Jmen in a different light. Simply amazing!bouquet

Hey tatami, enjoy your work place, it sound like a good place to be.teddybear heart wings teddybear heart wings wave
@Chocobabe, not 100% positive but it's the best right now. And men do gossip too but not on the same level as we women.
@Bunga, one reason why I'm offline most of the time. Not that I'm eyeing them as prospects but that observing them talk and work amazes me.
@Big, hi. It would be fun if I'd see you more often in the blogs. Thanks for joining. And there are patrol volunteers who seems to be in their 70's too. Yet most of them have sagging skin and not much of a muscle unlike the two.
@Welela, it's definitely a better place than the glassfiber factory.
Thanks to the commenters. And thanks also to those who view.More views pls. Never mind though. Guess I'd have to do it by myself.I'll keep on repeatedly viewing my own blog. Need I say more?grin
