I started my first summer job on Monday, June 18th, at Action Manufacturing in Bridesburg, making $2.10 per hour. Many of my friends were at the shore for Senior week.
It was hot, sticky, and required some skills that I don't think I possessed (namely, some mechanical ability and the ability not to get hurt).
Before the summer was over, I had nearly cut my thumb off, shot a lathe wrench between my legs, and sprayed acetone in my eyes.
Things were so bad that my first pay check (and stub, which I still have) had blood on it.
I did get better---I finished the summer making $2.35 per hour, as I recall.
I was particularly good at glueing.
My first supervisor, Mr. Chris (can't remember his last name) was a very nice man.
