Re: [Avid-L2] [OT] - humor - THE job you WANT!

Here's an article that argues that we may not be much better off than these poor folks. And this is about people who get to work in our industry.

I would also be happy to hear that this article is completely wrong.

What if I don't want my own room?

What if I want to share the room with at least 10 other slave laborers working on the project, including the DP, EP, Gaffer and Craft Services?

I'm serious, I had plenty of time to appreciate the benefits of communal living while 100 of us were crammed into a single metal shipping container stacked on a cargo ship crossing the Pacific. That was heaven.

If I'm going to work for 30 hours a week for lodging -- it had better live up to my current standards.

And while we're on the topic, I gained a heck of a lot of weight on that trans Pacific trip -- and I was not issued a passport when we were unloaded in the middle of the night at Long Beach.

Therefore, it was he art warming to read the following caveat in your advertisement:

"Free food only for you if you show us your passport to prove you from other country and just arriving."
