What is something you can laugh about now even though it didn’t seem funny at the time? Every Summer there is a lot of mandatory overtime where I work. It goes by seniority. Every day was a new day, every day I was on the bottom. I wasn't sure I was going to make it. 16 years later I can laugh about it. At the time I was practically in tears everyday. I still get hit at times, but nothing like when I first started.
