I love WEARING SUNGLASSES.
I love WEARING A HAT.
I love DRINKING WATER.
I Love WEARING SUNBLOCK.
Jesus christ dude, if you get yourself into some kind of shape that isn't round, you aren't going to have these problems.
I hate sunscreen, the only thing worse than being sweaty all day is being sweaty and oily and sticky.
OP thinks sunny days are too hard. I have no idea how he survives rainy days. A bit of snow would kill him instantly.
I only disagree with the drinking water one to be honest. The others I find legitimately annoying. I still wear sunscreen, but only because sunburn is even worse
Doesn't bother me; it's 2 minutes to spray it on, and then re-apply every hour that I'm outside. As long as I'm wearing a hat to shade my face, I don't have to worry about putting any on my face, and then sweating it into my eyes.
Doing hard manual labor in the mid-day sun at the height of summer though? That's def. unpleasant as fuck. I can do 2-5 hours, and then I'm just done for the day. I don't know how some people can do that for eight hours a day, day in and day out.
Try 10 to 12 hours outside working. If you work outdoors, you ain't doing no measly 8 hours as a rule.
Disagree; most people that work outside are still working for a wage, and OT pay kicks in once you break 40 hours in a week. That limits most places to 8 hours, unless you're talking about undocumented immigrants that don't have any labor protections, or people that are self-employed in some way.
You've never been on a construction job site meeting a deadline have you? Been there, done that, got the tan, and I wasn't an undocumented immigrant.
Yeah, I have, and I got stiffed out weeks of pay I was owed because it was with a fly-by-night contractor that had a nose-candy problem. ...Which is why I don't do that any more. (Plus, he insisted on doing shit in the most backassward, bullshit way. I'll be surprised if his shit doesn't kill someone some day.)
If you work for a reputable company--not as a 1099 contractor, which is self-employed--then you probably have to be paid overtime pay. If you get a W2, and you're not getting OT when you have to put in more than 40 hours in a week, then you need to consult with an employment attorney.
