The town used to have a coal mine. I don't understand how a dangerous, backbreaking job like that would be looked back on fondly. I, too, worked at a factory, put in 12 hour shifts making the white ends for the buttons on blenders. I used to have a paperback in my purse, and once I made rate, I would go to the bathroom and read a few pages. But, having a job sure beats the alternative.
