A New Useful Life

I was feeling pretty useless when I came along here. Well I know it’s my fault since I haven’t got the skills. Well I DO have the skills you see but they didn’t need the skills no more. I was one of the top machinists for years at Grindley and Bundage. I started at 16, I was an apprentice. I put my heart and brain into my work, I was like an artist. But it’s a kind of personality disorder not to be flexible, they say. I’m too passive, got a low self-image. You have to adapt better. So anyway now they retrain you. That’s why I’m here. I’m going to be a useful member of society again.
