I spent last night pulling fiberglass insulation from under my house, and this afternoon bagging it; I’d have bagged it last night but I damn near passed out from heat and being out of breath. In all, I bagged 10x 40 gallon bags.
Tomorrow I go and clean up mold. And some time after Monday (when the plumber fixes my leaky water heater), I will add vapor barrier and new insulation. 😅
That shit is/was no joke. I had a head-to-toe tyvek suit, nitrile gloves, safety glasses, and an n95 mask. I’m in love with the tyvek suit for future dirty jobs, but in all it was super hot and difficult to breathe. I couldn’t have done the job without them though.
Anyway, my point is that for those of you who do this day in and day out, you all rock! I have always appreciated those who do the dirty jobs, but now I revere you too.
Thank you for all that you do!
Nothing compared to repetitive manual labor. You don't know what boredom is until you've worked on an assembly line.
Hard disagree.
I've been doing factory labor for six years and I love it. I don't have to talk to anyone and can zone out all day, it's great.
Chat she craves the unionized factories, we must give her her rightful desires.
I barely consider it manual labor sitting by an assembly line doing something that should be done by a robot in the first place. There's no two day alike in what I do.
