boo hoo such is life. i think everyone has a similar walmart story. after my divorce 2yrs ago i was in sink or swim mode living in canada... i could not legally work up there yet due to my US immigration status, so i delivered newspapers in -40 degree icy snowstorm weather for $0.10 per paper, and I had a route consisting of 75 houses which needed their papers in their mailbox by 8am. they were rich motherfuckers in big country houses too, so they were all set back about 1/2 an acre from the road and you couldn't just toss the paper on the lawn like you do in the US, you had to trudge uphill icy slope driveways and put it right in their mailbox. all this for $7.50cad per morning for about 3hrs of work in bone chilling elements. Thats not even $2usd per hour. Fortunately I got some sense knocked into me after getting frostbite and losing sensations in my fingertips for about 6 months, got fired without pay from the newspaper (why not, i'm an illegal alien with no rights lol) then i got a got a job at an indian casino right on the us border... things kinda fell into place after that
