3rd/4th days!

Category :

ok so the 3rd day was my first day of work. it was really cool. probably my favorite actoual work day. i got to the main sight where everyone was and piced up trash outside there house for an hour. then my teacher asked if i'd like to go do some electritional work at another sight with one of the senior leaders (Rob) and an electrition (Jeff). i said sure and off Bor and i went. we got to a trailer home and found out we were installing an oven, but we needed to make a new 4 prong outlet thing for it.

i learned alot that i never knew, like how wires are color coated. and i never knew the bottom prong was fpr the gound wire (or somthing like that). then we drilled a hole through the floor and started digging a ditch. he hooked some wires up on the telephone pole outside. then we hooked the wires up to an outlet thing. then caryed the new oven in and we were done. it sounds short, but it was a prety long day. i got sunburn all down my neck, and couldent stop sneezing all day because of my alergies.

that night, i explained how i have smoked pot, and all the kids wouldent stop calling me a pot head. ok, so if i smoked every day, or even everyother day, i could see while they would think that, but ive smoked all of 5 or 6 times. it was anoying, but i really dident care all that much.

then we went to sleep.

the next day, i painted at the methodist church we went to on easter. they had an outside play thing, and we had to paint an onning by it. it was just lame. there were bee's all around. and basicaly, i got paired with all the anoying kids. one of the kids, who heard i smoked pot, was talking about public school, and said there was alot of weed there. then, right infront of my teacher, say i would have liked it there because there was plenty of pot. i faked a laugh, then continued painting like it was nothing. we finished, and went back to the cabins.

that night, we had a seafood jambory. it was cool because they got another groop of school kids and a band there. food was cool. we dident really talk to the other school. there was a really cute kid there. he could have been bi or gay. his shirt made me think he was. i always fall for the small blonds =). he had a yellow shirt on that had a monkey on it and said "so fresh & so clean" it was cute.

after the party, and everyone left, we had a meating. all the senior leaders (seniors at our school, there were 5) were sayen some really personal stuff. one said that he was sorry for being pissy with us, and that it was because he wasent gettin high and drunk every night, and couldent smoke (even though he diped all week and smoked each night). and another told us about his childhood. he was born on a war stricken island, and remembers bombs going off and seeing soldiers go into his house. he started crying. it was sad.

then we played zombie tag. you play with one person "it" who trys to tag everyone else. if your taged, you take your shirt off (to determin the teams) and try to tag everyone else untill everyones a zombie. we only played one game, and they never found me. it got to late so we had to go in. then we slept haha. Peace!!!

Wow!! I have to hear more about this!! So, you're now a junior electrician...lol... Should I be worried about you cutting into my market?? Just kidding... I do electrical and plumbing work, more than I should, I suppose... I'm not licensed in either field, but I have learned A LOT in the 28 years that I've run my construction business... My real specialty though, is anything wood.... No, not that!! lol I am an expert woodworker and a master carpenter, and can do anything with wood that is possible to do... I grew up in the business; my dad and my granddad were both carpenters and apparently it got into my blood too!! I love working with wood, even after all these years!!

So, you had a small sampling of what it's like to work in the 'trades'...
I have always enjoyed working with people that don't mind getting a little dirt under their fingernails... They are mostly good, caring people that you can count on... Not all, but most... How were the guys that you worked with?? Would you work with them again, even if you didn't have to??

Now, you HAVE to tell me more about the blond hottie with the cute shirt!! Were you able to talk to him at all?? Why didn't you guys talk to the other school much??

It sounds like the food was pretty good, too!! I'm getting hungry all over again, just thinking about that seafood jamboree!!!

And, who was the guy from the island that was in a war zone?? Was he from the Philippines, or some other place? It sounds really intense and interesting to hear about these stories and the things these kids lived through!!

Well, a million questions.... I don't want to fry your brain, or anything...lol.. Maybe a story, here or there, to explain it, a little at a time... You have a lot of potential material here!! Cool!!

Good to have you back, kid!!! luv, tman<3
