[TheForge] help wanted ad

[Larry Brown]

For $10 an hour in Northern Jersey...
I hope they have a nice box out back to live in also or that it includes a 
rapid chance for advancement of pay.
I live in Staten Island NY and the rents here are so high that this 
blacksmith would have to have two full time jobs to have a place to live. 
I'm sure they will get a recent immigrant who can live in an apartment with 
ten others for the job.
Maybe an independently wealthy blacksmith will come to their rescue
If I'm making $10 an hour it means I messed up the estimate and I'm taking 
a loss on the job (Learning experience)
