Diary Of A Hypocrite Nation

This past January I started a new job---two years to the day of having been laid-off another one---with a company that can only be considered a titan in it's industry. For obvious reasons, said company shall here remain nameless. Let’s just say that it runs with the Big Dogs like Microsoft and Apple do in their respective industries.

As the American economy refused to awaken this year, I considered myself fortunate to be employed. This job was something I had never done before. It paid 30% less than what I was ‘used’ to making in my career, before American politicians decided to systematically do away with the Middle Class…but more on that subject down the road in this blog.
This job involved the type of heavy lifting of boxes and building of displays at retail that make one think of the slaves toiling away at the base of the pyramids in Egypt.
