Appreciation and Yapping

Alrightt, now to our once in a blue moon night yaps! badum tssk-

Just to fill in what's the thing i've been recently up to. I am currently working on a job that is related to construction work. I have been removing debris, shaping the ground, and have been shoveling away the dirt and other stuff for 2 days in a row now. It's a tough and a mind opener job to be honest.

As I plow through 20+kgs of dirt, my mind drifted off elsewhere. It made me think of all the construction workers who dealt with the intense heat and a tiring job weeks on end just to provide for family. I've only have like 15 hours in, yet it made me respect those people who have been doing this for decades; I imagined myself in their shoes, I keep thinking about an imaginary family. That "if I get through all of this, would the salary be enough? would it provide sustenance to the table? would it keep our roof over our head?" and it made me realize that they exerted so much work, yet the pay doesn't even cover half of the cost of living at this day and age. I stood there in the blazing heat determined that I get this work done, in behalf of those before me. (wow it just sounded like I was the destined construction worker LMAOOO) but to be honest, it really fueled me to continue for another 4 more hours. Not to mention I've been having this terrible toothache which my parental units believed it was a wisdom tooth going out. So in between hours there's about 2-3 times where I'd go sit the pain out and continue again (it made me want to crash out it's not even funny). While I did suffer some contusion in my arms as my co-workers is literally me, myself, and I. Due to me having to dump the one barrel filled to the brim of dirt out on the dump site. In the end it is all worth it though, I got in some exercise even though my arms, back, and legs are tired doing all that. I still have 2 days left to go, and I plan on finishing it tomorrow as duh I also have academics going at me left and right (╬▔皿▔)╯ and I want it done, asap.

To end this yapping stuff All these experience, led me to have greater respect for those working in blue collar jobs. They are the ones who really made themselves a tool to build one of the things that we use in this world. The real G's for real.
