Work

I had my first full (eight-hour) day as a "lot loader" at Home Depot. Laugh all you want, but it'll really teach me the value of hard work. It's a long, hard day. I walk back and forth in the sun all day, dragging heavy carts and helping people load really heavy things in their cars. I get to be in the sun, and it's almost relaxing, walking alone. Apparently I'm the first girl -ever- to be a lot loader. I've become practically famous already >_<.
I really don't envy people who make this their life's work. It's a hard life, and it doesn't pay a lot. I mean, it pays pretty well starting, but to make this your career...it's hard. My muscles started to hurt around 10 or 11, and they reached the limits of exhaustion by noon. Then, they went beyond hurting. They actually stopped hurting. Like I said, it's a hard life, but the people I work with are all really nice and pretty friendly. It'll do for a summer job, but it'd suck as a career.
