Factory

about it, when has anyone said, “Golly, can’t wait to go to work!” Answer is probably never, also because its 2016 and no one uses the word golly anymore. Back to the topic of work, it is connected to fatigue and dealing with impossible co-workers. However, in some place it is much worst like dealing with discouraging statement being yelled at and no air conditioning.

During the Lowell Mill times, everyone had their own different perspectives about the mills. Even though they were given…
