Lindburgh had it easy…
all he had to do was stay awake…and battle the Elements a bit…did my first (more or less) solo shift today…of course my co-workers, who have been at it for years, think my job is a piece of cake (they’ve both done it apparently) but *I* think it’s a sonovabitch…thank God it’s a part time position, otherwise I’d possibly be dead by now…other than financially, Life is Good…it’s 8:30pm–could be in bed by 10…a job like mine (or the condition I’m in doing it) makes me appreciate a day off…
I REALLY wanted to go to VA Wednesday evening to do some “twanging” but I don’t have enuff gas or money to buy gas with…but otherwise, Life is Good…and I’m grateful…
ADDENDUM–I do believe that my co-workers, like many Humans in the Workplace, know and use “shortcuts”…THEY know what these shortcuts are, but I do not…I’m not now prepared to debate the morality of “shortcuts”–the implication of shortcuts being that the job is not being completed absolutely…At this point, I’m doing the best that I can…If given enough time, I’m sure I’ll get stronger physically…and faster as well…I do appreciate the fact that I’m not working an 8 hour day, every day–I’d be dead by now…Hopefully, if there ARE shortcuts, I’ll learn ’em…and I won’t agonize too much over using them because (like I said) I believe just about EVERYBODY uses them…
