With the benefit of hindsight, I now know the job was to prepare me for life as a clerk or a laborer, but at the time it felt like the job was to kind of bore me into some submission with what was going on around me.
Com o benefício da retrospectiva, agora eu sei que o trabalho era me preparar para uma vida como vendedor ou operário, mas na época eu sentia que o trabalho era me forçar à submissão ao que ocorria ao meu redor.
