With the benefit of hindsight, I now know the job was to prepare me for life as a clerk or a laborer, but at the time it felt like the job was to kind of bore me into some submission with what was going on around me.
Privind înapoi îmi dau seama că scopul era să fiu pregătit ca funcționar sau muncitor, dar atunci mi se părea că scopul e să accept, din plictiseală, ce se întîmplă în jur.
