Hard Work in Hot Places

Well it seems for some reason that everyone in town is drinking, and lots of our staff are included in this and not showing up for work.  At this same time my boss bought some commercial timber machines for planing, ripping, and joining timber.  With this new timber business our staff is having to work, instead of just sit around a lot of the days.  Well it always seems when you need people they never show up. 

That being said I have been learning lots about timber, and struggling a bit as we don't have gloves or boots, and it is quite hot and dusty.  Just moving the mulch from the planer is pretty touch as it keeps piling up and up and up.  I spent a good 2 hours today just shoveling it into wheel barrels, and moving it into the yard to clear up work space.  I don't know how I got here working at a dive shop, or studying Software in University.  I guess we never know where life will take us, but we are always learning, just sometimes it hurts our backs a bit more.
