Week 2 - I hate my job!

Week 2 – I hate my job!

The one thing that I do that I could never see myself doing is mowing lawns on a regular basis. I certainly couldn’t see myself doing this for 50 years because its backbreaking work at times; not just the mowing part but the fact that I have to do other lawn work and clean up as well.

Never would I have imagined I would still be doing my job of mowing and lawn care for the past 50 years of my life! My body is broken and beaten down and I never have any energy… my skin is baked from the sun like a potato in the oven. Cancer is slowly eating away at my body as I still work my 6 hour 6 days a week work. My boss has been dead for the past 30 years and I took over the business. I still don’t understand how he was able to keep on going even after his 40 years of mowing and multiple knee surgeries. My lungs are shot from having to inhale all of the gassy fumes given off from the mowers. My hearing is close to none from all the years of the roaring engines. I regret sticking with it all even though it was in the honor of my boss and all of his hard work.
