"To be honest, I wanted to look one more day for work in San Ysidro or San Diego." "Find any?" "No." "Have you decided that family loyalties are a bit more important than dabbling in petty jobs on the outside?" "Maybe. I need a job. I need money." "You are here but your cousin has not gotten here yet. You'll have to wait for her." "Oh, I thought she would be in Tijuana by now."
His odd jobs helped; the dollar that he earned once in a while was made to go a long way. Not once did she complain, not once did she cry out against the son who had taken his father's curse for her sake. There are but few women who would be so considerate.
I could have had a dozen jobs at my own price if I could have handled them. It's just as if prosperity was a river which had been trickling through that town for thirty years, and all of a sudden the dam up in the foothills gives away and down she comes with a rush. Lots which sold a year ago for a hundred dollars are selling now for five hundred sometimes more.
Came the rainy, muddy, dark autumn, bringing a slack time, and I used to sit at home three days in the week without work, or did various jobs outside painting; such as digging earth for ballast for twenty copecks a day. Doctor Blagovo had gone to Petersburg. My sister did not come to see me. Radish lay at home ill, expecting to die every day.
The budget also includes a plan of action right here at home to put more power and opportunity in the hands of the individual. That means new incentives to create jobs in our inner cities by encouraging investment through enterprise zones. It also means tenant control and ownership of public housing. Freedom and the power to choose should not be the privilege of wealth.
My planing machine was soon fully occupied. When not engaged in executing other work it was employed in planing the flat cast-iron inking tables for printing machines. These were made in considerable numbers by Messrs. Applegath, was the first to produce a really effective newspaper printing machine. I had many small subsidiary jobs sent to me to execute.
Wherefore Thompson continued looking about for a number of weeks. He looked for work, without finding it save in street gangs and at labor that was mostly done by Greeks and Italians fresh from Europe. A man had to begin at the bottom, he realized, but he did not desire to begin at the bottom of a ditch. He did not seek for such small clerical jobs as he knew himself able to fill.
Migratory workers traveling to and from various jobs were taken from the trains, beaten, robbed and deported.
Look, if you could make ye'r whole head into one great diamond, and lay it at my feet, as that carrion lies at yours, may I die on a sandbank like a dry herring, if I'd take it to do one of the dirty jobs ye're for ever plotting!" Oh, what a degrading thing it is to be scoffed at by our superiors! How prone we are to resent it when our equals meet us with a sneer!
'You might leave that for a few minutes, will you? Rushton continued, addressing Owen and Easton. 'Go and get on with something else for a little while. When they were alone, Rushton closed the door and remarked: 'It's always as well not to let these fellows know more than is necessary. Sweater agreed. 'Now this 'ere drain work is really two separate jobs, said Rushton.
