(guess I missed an earlier post). Were you just having the interview at the bookstore, but it’s not related to working at the store/chain?<br /> Good luck to you, anyway. I hear you - one interview myself in last 4 mos of unemployment -3 wks to hear that I wasn’t hired, during which I was a nervous wreck.</p> <p>Go to the gym. Good for you in many ways. *g*</p> Hey, demi – I gather that was a 2nd interview re a job? (guess I missed an earlier post).

From age 9 to 14 I delivered morning newspapers, started at 4am to finish by start of school at 8 am(125 papers over 5 miles) 7 days a week. I made $2.50 an hour as a meat cutter and $3.50 an hour as parts dept mgr at chevy dealer. Friends who worked at local A&P made $1.50 an hour At A&W $1.00 per hour. Of course, when I joined the military at age 17 I was paid $98 a month.</p> Sorry but I do not really see any difference from back in the day-1964-68 when I worked as a meat cutter at age 14/15 and as the parts dept manager of my local Chevy dealer from 15-17(both jobs were half days from school, a total of 35-40 hours a week during school year and up to 60 hours during the summer-friends worked at the local A & W until it closed at midnite) So, just how is what I did back when I was 14 to 17 any different from what is happening now?.

40% of these tragedies are in Agriculture – and the majority of those on family farms – statistics show much of this due to the long hours worked -
