    I’m in this picture, but I also learnt over the years that sometimes it doesn’t take a lot of knowledge to be the company expert on a topic. It can easily boil down to having asked another company about some information, or having seen something before.

    The original is the Krampus. But I really don’t care, if you scratch of the veneer of any tradition, most of the time you’ll find that it isn’t really that old, and has changed quite a lot in the years. At least in my area there are a lot of these “traditions” that weren’t around when I was a kid in the 1970’s an 80’s, and they all amount to some degree to people wanting to be antisocial.


  • I went to trade school in the late eighties/ early nineties to become a plumber. When I finished school in 91 there were no jobs for plumbers, so I did extra schooling to be an electrician. Still could’t find a non temp job, so in 96 it was working in a chemical plant as an operator, and studying to eventually get a degree in chemical engineering.

    All this just to say that the job market can’t be predicted. Working in the trades is great, if the jobs are available. Unfortunately, they usually are among the first jobs to disappear when the job market goes a bit slower.

    That was up until the eighties I think, the character was later rebranded to be more friendly. Which makes you think that if they can do that, they could also rebrand to not wearing black face, but I guess you need to be right wing to understand why that’s not possible.
