The tolls of the Great Recession
Over heard Phone Call number one:
“So I say you need to bring in that resume. If you can handle [name not caught], you will most certainly be able to handle [other name not caught].”
Next phone call. “Yeah, I just got around to [someone or other, name not caught]. HAD to call her.
[bunch o stuff or other.]
Yes, I say the ideal person to hire would be a hooker who is about five months behind on her rent, because what we need is someone to bust their ass for long shifts upon long shift. Everyone’s a little hazy right now, and I’m pulling in a lot right now.”
There is something about these two phone calls. It may be a sign of the current “Great Recession” on how terms of Labor are sort of being lost. That’s the macro-level of this thing. But what caught me on these, why I found it kind of odd…
… The first call, clearly an acquaintance or minor friend. Did that second call say that she was a Hooker, or just somehow on the level of one?
