Old Enough To Remember?

Why gen-Xers are seem to always be in a bad mood?

Well, first we had to replace our vinyl collection with cassette tapes...
that we had to replace with a CD collection...
then we had to replace that with an MP3 file system...

and these days we're suddenly required to have some online subscription to listen to music... :cautious:

As I told a mother in Walmart one day whose 3 year old was having a mighty fine hissy fit in the floor -

"My Momma had a cure for that!" ;)
 
I worked at Woodwards downtown Edmonton on the food floor. My buddy got a job in menswear making 3.07 while I got a job on the food floor for 4.40 quite a difference really, in those days. He had to buy a suit; you can't sell suits if you don't wear one, it was quite an expenditure. I also had to adhere and weigh in on atire; mine however, was I think if I recall correctly, dark blue pants and a blue shirt. Not too big an expenditure.
At the time, the food floor must have been more proffitable; I remember one of my co workers working at parcel pickup [where all the groceries went across I think it might have been 111 ave via conveyer belt] getting 7.80 an hour and only keeping the job because he had "seniority" I asked hem [i think it might have been [76], tell me more, about this... seniority
But even then [no, seniority didn't mean you get a seniorita or anything like that, it mean't that if you stayed with Woodwards or Shell, or Johnson Controls and invested with them for life, that...
[edit] you had already stayed too long
 
I remember my 1st real job was 1.25 an hour and we got a free meal before starting. Farrells Ice Cream Palour rocked. We got into so much fun. Think jail time or a record would happen now. It was a perfect high school job, paid for my first bike. A Honda 450 scrambler, which kept me out of trouble, ie, a whole car packed full of drunk and stoned kids. Could not pack to many on the bike, me being stoned or drunk was enough.
I have lived long enough to understand just how luck got me through those years, been "dry" for coming up on 40 years now.
