“...I don't know if it's better to be good at a bad job or bad at a good job, but there must be some kind of satisfaction in doing a job so poorly, you are never asked to do it again. ... I learned that I'd work any job this hard, ache like this to know that I could always ache for something. There's a hell for people like us where we shovel the coal we have mined ourselves into furnaces that burn the flesh from our bones nightly, and we never miss a shift.” — Jamaal May
