SOMETIMES YOU JUST NEED A CHANCE
Tim was a young man with no priorities, just surviving any way he could. He was sometimes unemployed but would take any job he could find to pay his bills. Tim worked as a punch press operator and in a machine shop for a short period of time. Nothing seemed to stick as a permanent job for him. One day Tim landed a job at a wire products company called Premier Manufacturing, which made fan and air-conditioning covers out of wire. Tim worked several job positions there, such as a trimmer of the fan cover ribs, on the cleaning and plating line, and on the plastic coating application line for the air-conditioner covers. Tim lasted five years there, but it was just a job, no chance for growth or advancement.

At this writing my crunch-groovy psychiatric profession has diagnosed me witht the following disorders. Persistent Depressive Disorder (or PDD), Generalized Anxiety Disorder (or GAD - which I always makes me say E-GAD) and what else… oh yeah – my Assertive Rage Disorder (or ARD - which I prefer to pronouce as if I were a pirate)
