Called Out from Retirement

At times, gaps in talent and experience in a workforce will require companies to call a “seasoned” worker out from retirement to work on a contract or project.   Apparently, the same approach applies to squeegees at gas station dispensing bays. 

While pumping fuel into my car yesterday, I pulled from a bucket of soapy water a shockingly rusty and aging squeegee.  I considered dropping the squeegee back in the bucket and grabbing another from the bay next to me.

Surprisingly, I found myself impressed.  The seasoned squeegee performed perfectly—better than the newer offerings.
