All day long these women would work and discuss
husbands/boyfriends,
soap operas, and gossip about everyone in town. Originally, men were
used for this kind of work and too many of them went nuts after a
while. There were women working in this room that had been around for
a few years, with some having 10-20 years of experience in this
particular job.
It's been proven that women can handle tedious, meticulous jobs day in
and day out better than the average man. After seeing what those women
in the meter room did all day long, it was easy for me to see just how
quickly a guy would go bonkers doing that kind of work.
The gossip is what keeps them going. The work is secondary :)
