my book is published

1.49? Man those e-books are cheap. How does anyone make any money selling them like that?

I don't have one of those fancy new computer reader thingies. I'm old school and like to hold a real book in my hands. Most of my books are bought cheap and second hand. Your book sounds quite interesting though and I wish you a world of luck in your writing endeavors.

Any money coming in is better than none. But I went to the link to see a preview and there was only a blurb. Can ya give us a gist of what it is about?

Snippet! I want a snippet! fc/dunno

I know that you've been injured previously. I take it that this story is a bit of fantasizing about getting even? Sort of like.

The first time I got out of the Army, I worked at Grede foundries. Hot knock-off was a real back breaker, but paid well. Did a bit of grinding, working the Brown Boveri as well. When I was first hired there, I worked swing shift and pretty much filled in for any body who was on vacay or injured. I learned a lot in a short period of time.

One of the guys in shipping injured his back and I filled in for him for two months. After it was determined that he would not be returning, they posted the opening. Only two of us applied and they ended up giving the other guy a first shift job, so I got it. WooHoo! I thought at the time. I was sadly mistaken.

A lot of people were pissed that the FNG got the job. The reply I got when I asked why I was being the subject of so much anger was I didn't deserve it when there were so many people who had years over me.

"Did they apply?" I asked.

The answer every time was, "No, I thought everybody would be applying for that position so I didn't."

My reply to them didn't do much to endear myself to them. "Well, then that's your fault...not mine."

hey doug.
when you were there did you ever get a chance to see the melt shop.
the pour of process or anything like that.
