I once had a much different job that didn't involve a casino or a union. So, I just worked as and when assigned. Sometimes, I was on the padding press. Other times, it was the coalator, the reem cutter or just running the postal meter.
That job totally sucked ass. It barely paid enough to cover my room rental. But, it was either that or just sleep behind somebody's dumpster.
So, I was only there for the paycheck, biding my time until I found a job that paid more.
