Droppin' Like Flies

For the past couple of days, it has been 100+ degrees here. Toss in 85% humidity and you have the fixin's for one hell of a warm day. Everywhere I turn I hear about people getting sick from the heat or bailing out of their shift. People are acting like its never been warm before. Every day I go to work and wear the same thing each day. Heavy jeans, work boots, an A-shirt, a T-shirt, then finally my long sleeve work shirt, with the sleeves rolled down.

12 hours a day and I'm fine. 110 degrees in the shop. No air conditioning. I find it very amusing that people keep asking me how I work with a long sleeve shirt and jeans. Even with having three shirts on, I never sweat to the point that it starts to soak my shirts. The extra shirts actually seem to have a nice cooling effect. Some of the people I see are sweating buckets just walking around. Just the thought of physical labor would probly make them pass out.

Maybe it's just me, but I think this new generation coming into the workforce, is just totally fucked. It's like they have a contest going to see who can do the least amount of work. What ever happened to all the people that went to work every day, stayed for their whole shift, got shit done and actually took pride in their jobs? It seems that everyone just wants more money to do less work. Always looking for meal ticket or the next free ride. Well not on my dime you fucking freeloaders.

Some days I wish I could rally together all the true working stiffs in this country. Have them all band together to round up all these lazy shits and have them shipped off to shovel snow in the arctic or sweep the sand in the Sahara. Get them out of our way so that those of us who want to work will no longer have to trip over those who are asleep on the job. A chance to bring back the pride of the working class and turn away the white collar evil eye.

You have an unnatural tolerance for heat.

I wonder why that is? Could you be...SATAN?

There isnt any COULD about that, he IS.

That boy doesnt sweat, doesnt stink, doesnt shrivel in the heat, he thrives in it.

Which is fine, more a/c for you and me.

I actually agree with the whole "lazy shits" thing, but was completely distracted by the whole "three fucking shirts in 110 degrees".
I think I have to bow to the experts here. Totally Satan.

I stand in awe of your heat tolerance. I would probably be one of the jack asses passing out.
But I deffinately do agree that you're supposed to work hard, do the very best you can do and take pride in what ever job it is you're doing.
