Currently, I am employed at a recycling company, and my lone job is crushing cans. The work is very tedious and repetitive; crush cans, put them in a bucket, crush cans, put them in a bucket. The hours are long and the pay is very little. I think it is very safe to say that i completely and utterly hate my job. When I was younger, I remember my mother ordering me to go in the garage and crush cans for hours. I always avoided the chore so when I did finally get around to it, the cans would be stacked miles high. The job seemed to go on forever; I never, in a million years, pictured myself as a can crusher when I got older.
I've been crushing cans now for going on 50 years and everyday gets worse. Everyday i wake up and tell myself, "today's the day I quit and find a new job." Well, this morning I said that and after a long days work, I am still employed at Jim's Recycling. I wish I could go back in time and tell my younger self to stay in high school for those last 3 months and graduate instead of dropping out to chase some pretty skirt!
