INFLATION

IN 1969 AFTER WORKING FOR BROOKS BROTHERS FOR 4 YEARS
I WAS PROMOTED TO COLLECTION MANAGER.
I HAD 3 COLLECTORS, 1 TYPIST AND A SECRETARY UNDER MY
SUPERVISION.
I WORKED 4O HOURS A WEEK AND FROM
THANKSGIVING TO CHRISTMAS
I WORKED 6 DAYS A WEEK.
I HAD 2 WEEKS VACATION A YEAR.

TODAY IN 2005 , I AM A SCHOOL CROSSING GUARD, ONE OF 11 IN MY TOWN.
I WORK 35 MINUTES A SHIFT, 4 TIMES A DAY.
ON WEDNESDAY I WORK ONLY 35 MINUTES TWICE A DAY,
AND EVERY OTHER WEDNESDAY I HAVE OFF.
I GET ALL THE SCHOOL HOLIDAYS AND AM OFF
THE WHOLE SUMMER.

I JUST GOT MY YEAREND PAYCHECK STUB (PAGE).
AFTER CONVERTING THE EUROS TO DOLLARS I EARNED $10,377.44 GROSS.


THAT’S ABOUT WHAT I EARNED IN 1969…..AS A 3 PIECE SUIT, BUTTON DOWN COLLAR JR EXECUTIVE.

THAT’S INFLATION!!!!!!!!!!
