‘Man Power’ was the name of my local per diem business. We called it ‘Dan Power’ in honor of a close friend Dan who frequented their employment. “Heading down to Dan Power this week…” where else could you be a bank receptionist, a power line tree removal tech (extreme danger: whipping tree limbs while feeding the chipper) and a clean room anti static flooring stripper in the same few weeks!? 🧐

Ah yes, Man Power . . . where they fracture your teen memory with fading skills like decimal point long division math problems, done with pen & paper to show your work, to test you for anything from data entry on antiquated computers to OSHA-nightmare warehouse gigs.

Lots of turnover, but no seniority, no raises. Of course not. Wouldn’t want folks thinking they were deserving of anything for sticking it out. And Coach sounds like a real… peach.

Thanks for sharing your words, here. Your ability to paint such a vivid picture always sends me. Merry Christmas, Richard.

Lol. My sister and brother-in-law have had three mane coons. One amazing (Rocky) and two siblings that were a tad inbred (kinda "special needs"....careful eluding to...use your imagination). All were gorgeous and sweet. They got that brand (and paid a mint) cause evidently they have special hair that isn't an allergen to those that typically have the allergic sneezing etc. from regular, non special, cat hair. I need a job dude...or to actually create one again. Happy holidays man.❤️

Yes. A perk of the job.
