GOODWILL TINKER MT. INDUSTRIES
by Anonymous

Goodwill is in Salem, Virginia.
On Mondays we are slow getting started.
On Tuesdays we are moving faster.
Down on the floor we have boxes.
Work is in the morning and afternoon.
I like to work at Goodwill Industries.
Lunchtime is when we get to talk to one another.
Lots of people work here.

Tinker Mt. is a good workshop to work in.
I like the people I work with. They are fun.
Now my supervisor is good. They all are very nice.
Keep up the good work!
Everybody is very nice... the supervisors, the bus drivers, the people I work with.
Ready to go to work when I come in the door.

Make your day nice by listening.
Take good care of yourself... wash up, brush your teeth, comb your hair, put on clean clothes, make up your bed, eat a good breakfast, and be ready for work.

I like to work on foot levers because I am good at it.
Next to my station, people put towels in bags.
Did you sweep the floors? The bathrooms, dining room, the office, and all the floors are swept and vacuumed a lot.
Usually I come in late because my bus is late coming to pick me up.
See the people come in the morning? Everybody is smiling and laughing.
Tinker Mt. is a busy place all the time.
Reading lessons are at work during the break. I come to class on Tuesdays and Fridays.
I like the job and the people in my workstation.
Eat lunch at 12:00.
Saturdays, Sundays or when snow is on the ground, we don't work.
