| Come in and work for the Machine and railing shop, |
One day I recieved a call from a guy
who liked to swear, tell bad stories,
and bargan way too much,
but we made a deal anyway...see left
to the sorta owner trading remarks...
It's not often a shop overwealms me and I
admit it, this one did, in many levels.

I tried out the
1920's lathe.
I think it was
made for
short people
who never
got enough
red meat as
a child.

The owner looks you
over, wonders if he
really wants to deal
with looking for more
warm bodies....(read
willing people to work
here for his ego
manipulation)
and tells you to get
started on something.
Yes, this is really his
chair and office.

Ahhhhhhh
here it is....
your machine,
poking out from the
clutter just as I first
saw it , is it really ,
that old ?.
Pull the railings off
it while the owner
yells at you
slanderously for
moving stuff.
The junk on it,
hiding and
protecting it for the
last 40years from all
the scrap hungry
vultures.
But I dig deeper
than Most.

Ahhhhhhh
here it is, your
reward for all
this 90 deg heat,
the smell of the
garbage not
picked up, The
total lack of
visable light,
the "Don't touch
that, no I won't
let that #4@!&#
thing go."
But he finally
relented under
shock and awe.
She as
tempermental as
the old man,
Every time you
move a handle
to do something
a shim falls out
on the floor you
have to slide
back in place to
hold the pieces
if it in place, all
provided by
some long gone
short cut
machinist to
hold some
resemblemence
to tolerance.
Rewarding and
relaxing work.

Check in with the
parinoid tool crib
NAZI and his one
light bulb to see if
he has anything
left you can use
( he will tell you
about) and sign it
out with blood
oaths to get the
job done with
somehow.
Do I see a bookshelf for
lunchtime?

the world ends
and I have to
single handedly
rebuild it.
