Yep, I worked at a golf course in groundskeeping for a summer after HS. The diet of the "old timers" was absolutely ridiculous.
The worst, Jim, his lunch every day was literally a can of Coca-Cola and a can of Vienna Sausages (shitty canned tiny hot dogs for those that don't know). God knows what he ate before/after work.
He had a heart attack one day at work. Was only in his early 50s.
- lostlogin 6y agoAn old timer in his early 50s?
- xtiansimon 6y agoWhy not. Groundskeeper (manual labor) at 50, when you could presumably start that job at 16. At 16, anything over 40 (visible signs of aging) is an ol’timer
- saalweachter 6y agoEspecially when you have a job that uses a lot of seasonal teenage labor. You end up with one group of employees who is "young" (16-early 20s) and works there in the summer, and one group that is "old" (25+) and works there year round.
- srpinto 6y agoYes. I would call you old timer in your 40's. I'm 36 and I'm fine with that.
- athms 6y agoSure, kiddo. Does your mommy and daddy know you're using the computer?

- pengaru 6y agoIt's at least in quotes...
- blub 6y agoWhat became of Jim, do you know?
