Hail to the construction workers of the world!

First day on the job, most of us filling cement between the bricks which someone told me was called pointing but I have no idea if he was just taking the mic. We also had some sanding going on with Claire and Steph and good ol Steve up on the roof with the rest of the boys! OK now construction work is way harder than I thought so todays top 5 is why I do not want to follow a career in construction.
5. Muscles I never knew existed have found new and interesting ways of generating pain.
4. Cement dust seems to have a knack of getting into everything, I won’t go into any more detail than that!
3. The full piece blue overalls are the not the height of fashion in terms of sexiness.
2. Music you never even thought of suddenly sounds amazing – Wham’s Greatest Hits, eat your heart out!
…and the number one reason I do not want to go into construction is…
1. I just don’t think the plumber’s crack is going to be my thing!
Day 2 on the worksite tomorrow, can’t wait!
