Many years ago, decades - perhaps before most of you were born - I had a cold call sales job...
It was for long lasting military grade incandescent lightbulbs... Made and sold by disabled people.
All kind of disabled people. Blind, legless, armless, handless, retards, alcoholic's and junkies were included.
Since I was young and healthy at the time - in my 20's? - I picked "alcoholic" as my disability...
I worked there a few weeks, made a few sales. Then one day the manager called me into his office...
"I notice you are always on time? You never miss a day? You do a good job and get along with everyone... I don't think you are a alcoholic at all! We are going to have to let you go. We only hire the disabled here."
I was shocked! It was the only job available at the time.
It was only a few decades later that I became a legit alcoholic. But it was too late
Brutal stuff.
