Job 10
Fall 1975 - Winter 1976
Westingouse Canada - Conveyor Attendant
Well, I applied at Westinghouse and after providing some semi acceptable answer to the obligatory "where do you see yourself in five years?" question I was hired on as a conveyor attendant.
This was a pretty easy job with a number of fringe benefits. You had to pretty well work steadily on the day shift but there were large leisurely gaps in the line on afternoons and at night there was only about two hours of work to do.
We kept ourselves busy nevertheless by playing cards on afternoons and seeking semi respectable sleeping accomodations on the night shift. The thing that bothered me about the night shift was the incessant pounding noise that emmanated from the press shop. How was anyone supposed to sleep with that going on?
On Christmas Eve, 1975, we built a little fort out of refrigerator bodies and sat around getting paid to drink whiskey and play poker. It was one of the very few times I actually won at poker.
This job, it turned out, was too good to be true and sure enough, about three days before my probation was due to end I was laid off.
