Still Waiting.

 I don't know if it's just me, or is everything taking longer than "normal" to arrive? Seem's like everything used to arrive in just a few days, now it's taking a week or more. Still waiting for my Oklahoma Joe's Bronco smoker cover. Also waiting on the shed to arrive. The shed has been sitting in a place less then 100 miles away now for about 3-4 days. What's up with that?

But then of course I don't know what all else they may have to do. Yea, I know how that goes, we see road crews leaning on a shovel or broom and think what an easy job! We might think that, but we don't know what all they have to do besides leaning on a broom or shovel.

Besides that, how about a "flag" person we seen along the road, easy job? Don't know what else they may have to do, but I wouldn't want that job. Who wants to stand around in the hot sun or cold winter holding a flag for how many hours? Not me, boring job.

One of my easy boring jobs, and one of my hard jobs... My hard job which I actually liked but for the pay at the time was all day long burning railroad track and swinging a 20-pound sledgehammer to break it in half. I probably had one of the easiest jobs in the world which I hated. At the time I picked up this job until I got something better. Any job is better than no job. No job doesn't pay the bills.

In this job I was working at a chicken plant where they kill and process chickens. Where I was working was in the defeathering room with a lot of big machines running. For 10 hours I would just stand there where there was a trough in the floor with water and feathers running through it. Where I stood was a grate which I would just stand there and make sure it didn't get clogged or a chicken didn't get washed down in the trough. If a chicken came by, I'd pick it up and hang it back on the hook.

So I just pretty much stood there for 10 hours doing not much of anything because the grate would never clog, and you only seen a chicken once in a great while. BORING!!!

My first day there when I came out of the plant, I couldn't hear a thing because of the loud machines running all day, no wonder I can't hear anymore.

As for the shed, no big hurry for it to arrive anyways being I didn't buy the blocks, lumber, etc., to make the platform it's going to sit on.
