Isn't it interesting how we can have all the energy in the world to do some activities, but with others we have no energy at all? Or at least, we wish we didn't have any energy? I spent the last three hours of work today imagining calling my service manager and informing him that if I continued working, I would drop over from exhaustion. Or of having a customer finding me passed out on the ground outside their house. Either way, it wound up with me having the next day off to sleep in and blissfully not have to work. Alas, t'was only a daydream.
This isn't the first time I've done hard physical work out in the hot summer heat. Several years ago saw me doing construction in one of the hottest California summers in several decades. Yet this already feels worse. Might have to do with the fact that I wear long sleeve, slack, and goggles all day . . . okay, it certainly does. I'm missing my shorts and t-shirts very much right now.
If there's one consolation I've taken from this, it's that it will get better and easier with time. It did back then, and it will now. I just have to let my body adapt, which is sadly easier said that done. After downing over a gallon of water, I can still say I'm dehydrated. There's just something wrong with that, either way you cut it.
Anyway, yes, this has been a mostly pointless blog post. So far, there isn't to terribly much going on in my life that merits a close inspection or a deep look into life. I'm sure that will change. All in all, this is helping me to again realize why I want to continue with my education - so I'm not having to do this sort of hard physical labor for the insufficient pay that I receive for it.
On a slightly happier note, here is a link to a really awesome video. It's actually all about the music being played (live orchestra!!), and I'm listening to it as I'm writing this blog. You should all check it out and enjoy. :D
