So, as I stated last time, I said that I would start working soon, like very soon. This week was my first week of the summer to start working and it honestly wasn’t that bad, I mean I still got sunburnt, not that bad though, but it was still enough to where I could feel the heat off of it. Previously I said that I would be outside for up to 8 hours a day, for at least three days a week, and why all of this is completely true, it still kinda sucks because it gets pretty dang hot and humid outside, who am I kidding, it is really gonna suck later on in the summer when it gets up into the high 90 degrees. The job I have is cool and all, but recently I have been thinking about getting a different job after this summer is over where I don’t have to be outside all day long and one that pays me even more then I already make, because that would be really nice.
I’ve also noticed that last time I didn’t really explain what job I do during the summer. Well if anyone wanted to know, during the summer I work with my dad Chris and my brother Brendan in construction. It is my second summer doing so. Basically, when I’m working with them, I’m what is known as a laborer. This means I have to get other people what they need when they need it, so I run around constantly all day long and my little legs hurt after the day is over. My dad is the head foreman/brick layer at the job sites which means not only does he lay brick with the other brick layers, but since he is the head foreman, he is also in charge of going over all of the building blueprints to make sure that everything is correct with the building, like all of the math and measurements. Honestly I couldn’t do what my dad does because it involves a lot of math and figuring, and I just couldn’t do it because I don’t hate math or anything, but after awhile, it honestly gets really repetitive. Right now we are currently working by the ASU football stadium building the new hotel, so if anyone wants to come say hi when I’m working, feel free to do so!:) I also forgot to mention that most of the time I’m close to a hundred feet in the air for most of the day on a thing called the hydro mobile, it basically is like scaffolding, but it is mobile which means it can move, but only up and down and not side to side.
Honestly, I gotta say that your job sounds miserable. I really hope you've been wearing sunscreen, and if not, shame on you. Take care of your skin! At least you're making money, there's no way I would do your job without some serious motivation. I don't really like kids, but I can pretend to for long enough to make some money.
ReplyDeleteI've always been really into creating things -- the satisfaction of seeing something I've spent so much time and effort putting together finally being completed is unlike any other. I guess that's kind of what it must be like for you.
I hope your summer continues to be productive and wonderful.
