Not certain. Either digging ditches in the desert in over 110°f. Or bagging 90 lbs bags of manure. You had to keep up with the machine.

Installing insulation at the CAT factory wasn't easy, yet was sort of challenging because it was three stories up on a scissor lift.

Same goes for grinding out cracks in a SYSCO warehouse at below zero temperatures. At least we got warmup breaks every half hour.

Having a "day off" from work. Washing, ironing, sorting out finances, sorting out the car, gardening, shopping, food preparation, cooking, cleaning, stripping and remaking all the beds... My kids say "but you ONLY work part time. Nah, there's no such thing as a part time job when you're a mum, especially not if you're a single mum.

Worked at a dairy farm and a tractor supply. 4am-8am milking 9-3 tsc, then 4-8 milking.

In the prison I'd get frozen or do voluntary or, 16 hours.

A few months ago I was caretaking during the week and working retail on weekends.

I'm fkn tired.

Trying to keep the relationship going with my damn ex. You've got to know when you're flogging a dead horse and it's time to quit! 😑

Shaving your mom's back.
Cleaning a meat grinding freezer in below zero degrees, using toxic solvents that made you barf and stumble around, while the rest of our night cleaning crew laughed at me and watched with the store employees through a window, extremely entertained by how the chemicals made me stumble about like a drunk, for starvation wages, taking orders in Spanish, and left with ripped hazmat suits because that's so FUNNY over at the WINCO...
I lived.

@Roundandroundwego what was the chemical?
@Tastyfrzz an alcohol, I think it was benzyl alcohol. Hot, coming out of a hose.

Three jobs consecutively in a day, sometimes seven days a week.
My first job.... I used to spend 15-16 hours everyday after my working hours. Extending my shifts either working or learning new stuff or train myself for the next level. So I could be well prepared when the opportunity comes.

Putting up 100 lb I Ihay bales in 90° plus heat. Shoveling oats in the hot grain bin while bugs were atracking me. Both cases you can't drink enough water. Same with insulating an attic with itchy fiberglass or rewiring a house.
