WORKING, by Studs Terkel (BOOK Eight – Part 1 – The Age of Charlie Blossom)

I’m only about half-way through this chapter and what a roller coaster ride it’s been already! You might be wondering, “Who the heck is Charlie Blossom?” Well, Terkel has an answer for us in his first interview and wow, I have so many feelings. Note: I was originally gonna include two other interviews but this…

WORKING, by Studs Terkel (BOOK SEVEN – Part 3 – In Charge, Concluded)

One of the biggest reasons Working as a book…um…works is because it’s so deliberately ordered by Terkel. Take this chapter for example. We went from a boss who was a pretty conventional and happy boss, to a slightly less conventional boss but one who still tried ruling and another who was tired of being a…

WORKING, by Studs Terkel (BOOK SEVEN – Part 1 – The Sporting Life, Concluded)

We started this year with Studs Terkel and we’re ending it with him! …I’m not sure how to feel about it. As much as I love the book I know the constant chapter reviews don’t get the views the other posts (like the terrific ones by Winter) do. On the other hand, I’d feel cheap…

WORKING, by Studs Terkel (BOOK SEVEN – Part 1 – The Sporting Life)

I could never claim to love sports. I’ve always been bad at them except for dodgeball which is a sport I relish in of itself and how I viciously mocking others for missing me. I flirted briefly with a love of football that year the Patriots went almost 19-0 but lost in the Superbowl to…

Mutual Deception and Mutual Deceit, by Winter Trabex

Recently moving away from a long-time freelancing career to a normal, traditional job has led me to some unusual ruminations about the current economy and jobs in general. For the most part, anyone who wants to have any kind of job must seek out an employer with a brick and mortar establishment. This is especially…

WORKING, by Studs Terkel (BOOK SIX – Part 2 – Brokers)

Unsurprisingly to some (including myself) the so-called “makers and takers” within society are not a uniform people who are hellbent on exploiting other people for their advantage. Oddly enough, the category of people who deal with lots of money whether it be through expensive houses, boats or the stock exchange are a multi-faceted bunch of…

Aggretsuko Episode 5-10 Review

The second half of Aggretsuko gives us a deeper look at the characters that we’ve already gotten a decent picture of. Retsuko continues to be a shy red panda woman who constantly lets people walk all over her, take advantage of her and use her as a source of labor (mostly manual but emotional as…

Aggretsuko Episodes 1-4 Review

Although I’m an avid fan of anime I wouldn’t say I am the best at being a fan of it. Keeping up with anime (much like comic books) seems pointless to me. I’ll get around to the latest craze (My Hero Academia anyone?) when I get to it and not a moment sooner. There are…

WORKING, by Studs Terkel (BOOK FIVE – Part 4 – Just a Housewife)

I would say this part of book five is going to help me stretch my “feminist legs” but that sounds weird. Therese Carter (Housewife) Right off the bat I just want it to be clear that this article is going to be short. Mostly because this part of book five is only 7 pages long…

The Thankless Life of Workers with Gross Jobs

After reading this article on the New York Times about The Brutal Life of Sanitation Workers and watching Top 10 Most Disgusting Jobs, it got me thinking about why workers who have such gross jobs get such little respect. Whether in their pay, the amount of social recognition and maybe even pride they take in…
