Class 4-4-84B1

The apprentice class which will live in infamy. This is the twenty-forth anniversary of the Shipfitting class at Charleston

Naval Shipyard. There were thirteen of us. Ten guys and three
women. I was the second oldest at 26. Pete was the oldest, at 27.
There was Barbara, Laura, and Dr. Tracy. Steve, Raymond,
Richard, Bobby, Frank, Scott, and I can't remember the other
three. Those were the days. Worked on Nuclear Submarines,
dontcha know.

It's ruff (rough)

Working on an assembly line- ugh. There's got to be a better
way to pay for a room to live in. Feet hurt. Back hurts. Got a
cold, too. OY

Found my diploma and passed the piss test. Starting
Monday at new job. It's with a temp. company, but could
go permanent in 90 days. Have to go find some steel toed boots (or shoes). All's well.

That's me. Please don't steal my identity;
I'm very poor. Ed

Yay, may have found work

Going tomorrow to find out if I'll be working for a radiator manufacturer. What a relief. Haven't worked for over a year. Used up my IRA retirement money surfing full-time on the internet Not healthy. Going to pass a piss test tomorrow. Gotta try to remember where my High School Diploma is. Hmmm. Hope it's in storage.

Stop Using the Word-"Actually", Please.

Just stop. You can do it. The word is overused in the news and on radio. Listen to public radio for a half -hour; you'll hear it at least 7 times. It sounds like the speaker is B.S.ing to make themselves sound intelligent. Thanks. One more thing- could I have another large fork for the cake. My mouth didn't shrink from the time I finished lunch to the time I'm starting dessert. I like the big forks. Thanks again.
