You could go to a cancer ward and within ten minutes people would be hanging themselves...
Amazing.
Dude... I did get hired on with the septic contractor and I start there next week. I will keep you posted on how it's going, but I'm not too worried about someone knocking me out with a shovel or anything else for that matter. I'd like to see you try it old timer.
But you go on and keep telling yourself that everything is fine and keep allowing this company and industry to walk all over you. Me on the other hand will walk away and work in another field because I am not going to let some company ship my butt up to Alaska just for some measly scraps of pay.
Wallowing around in other peoples' feces (like some on here say) is much more preferable to me than commuting up to Alaska at half pay for a company that makes a billion dollars every few months, and I guarantee that I won't regret one second of the work. I've worked in the building trades all my life and I've turned many wrenches too.
What sort of manual labor have you done tough guy?
