Why people are unemployed
Goddamn celphones, that's why. We're always hiring where I work. Always. It's not a great job, nor that bad either. But (staggering surprise!) it requires you to work while you're there. Untold times I've seen new hires, on their first day on the job, standing motionless, head down, that little gadget in their hands, reading text messages from their friends. Invariably such guys last no more than three weeks. Then they're unemployed again.Ok, I'm from an earlier generation, when such contraptions didn't even exist. But even back then, we knew, you didn't take personal calls at work unless it was an emergency. I hate to sound like a grumpy oldster, but c'mon, if you're being paid to work, you should be working, not trading text messages all night with your sweetie and your pals and your cousins and who-the-hell-else you might know on Facebook.

This relates to your blog. A sign of the times, I guess.
But your right. Things now are different and the cellphones are very much to blame. Good blog. But I'm afraid there's not too much that you can do about it. The only ones that have learned are those seriously injured because of their lack of attention while using one of the contraptions!
Again, I hate to sound like a grumpy oldster, but ANYTHING that distracts you from doing your job is not likely to help you keep that job. Right?
working with automated machines sorting the mail and picked
them up. Now robotic are doing the same for free.
I decided to retired, instead of being repaced by a machine.
