No Worries Of Recession Here

Conversation at the dinner table last night:

Katrein: Mom guess what? I got a job.

Me: Oh, doing what?

Katrein: Cleaning the boards in class. I get paid three tickets a day.

Markus: Whats a ticket for?

Katrein: We save them and can buy prizes at an auction.

Me: How long is your job for?

Katrein: One week, but there are other jobs so I get to do them for a month or two.

Me: Oh, so you work your way up? Board eraser is like the bottom, whats the top job?

Katrein: I’m not sure,…. but one job is calendar person, I like that one, I will get to tell the date and weather.

Markus: We should get her a suit.

Me: That’d be sweet, like a weather person!

Katrein: Another job is line leader, I think you get 4 tickets for that.

Me: Wow, thats a big responsibility, and you get a raise.

Markus: Yeah you could run into a wall.

Katrein: Seth was line leader today, but he forgot his job today.

Me: Did utter chaos ensue? Lines weaving to and fro, people wandering into bathrooms?

Markus: So do you get benefits?

Katrein: Huh?

Me: Yeah, health, life?

Markus: You should ask your teacher.

Me: 401K, do they match you a ticket for every one you put in?

Katrein: I don’t think so.

Me: You should start a union.

Markus: Yeah but watch out for scabs, they will work for less tickets and cross your picket lines when your on strike.

Katrein: *Leaves the room*

    I imagine that will pretty much take care of dinner with the family, and sharing your day.
