Today's been good, finally got to see what they make here at work, and the tour was interesting and informational. Remember the pictures in your history textbooks in school where the little kid is standing next to a big loom? It's the ubiquitous child labor picture. In one blinding flash of logic during the tour today I realized why kids worked in fabric factories with the looms. One, they had little hands to work with little threads. Two, they could climb inside the looms and load the machines. Now I'm not promoting child labor nor is the plant using child labor, it's just one of those history moments for me. I was a history major, go fig!
