Reminds me when I worked at the American Can Co summers, 2nd shift no less, ya know at the peak of the day’s heat, while going to college. Operated the can palletizers, elevated workstations up high enough you could touch the flat metal deck ceiling. Had to keep your wits operating six levers, three to manipulate on each hand looking in OH mirrors. Oly chit – HOT spending 8-9 hours up there! Lol, make a mistake yanking the wrong lever was a huge F-up…ask me how I might know. But wow, the hourly wage was the equivalent of $36/hour today. Worked every weekend and holiday, making the equal of $72/hour today on Sundays! No wonder why I met a few school teachers and cops working there who quit their careers to stay there.
On another note, before getting central air as a real luxury back when, my dad and I put in an attic fan in my first house. I lobbed onto the idea as a buddy had one in his house. Worked great sucking out the heat, dropping the house temp quick. Looking back, hard to believe how many years we went w/o central A/C. Da good old dayz when we were tough lying in bed with nothing on but briefs with a fan blasting on you, lol. But, the REALLY tough were earlier gen’s, no plumbing, electric fans, or even deodorant. A true oly chit hey..
