More workers

An exchange overheard in a Waffle House on a North Carolina interstate highway today:

"Man, I'm working seven days a week. It' wearing me out."

"You're lucky, lots of people these days only wish they could do that."

"Just try it. Sometimes I get up at three in the morning to get to the job. I do nothing but work. I wish they would just hire back some of the guys they laid off. It's good money but I can't go on like this."
