Manual Labor sucks

I've been workin at a vineyard for a few months and decided to try the actual labor part of wine making and it sucks! I am not a laborer. We pruned the vines all day and my job (as I can't kneel, due to a bum knee) was to pull all of the sticks/branches/etc out and put them in between the rows.

Then at the end of the day, I hear amazing news. My job entails (in a few weeks) driving a tractor around that picks up the sticks/branches and then I get to take those 12 acres worth of sticks/branches and make a huge ass fire and burn them.

Thanks for reading my pointless post.
 
sometimes you will find u have to work for a living wether its just standing around a cash register all day or building houses its all the same concept but sometimes you have to get your hands dirty and throw out your back ,hypthetically speaking of course.
 
fuck that duuude! haha. I've been working 3-10 hour weeks for 4 years now and lemme tell ya, actual manual labor sucks. I won't be doing this for much longer - just long enough to make a huge fire.
 
scratch that - I read your post too fast. Yes I know I will be working my entire life, but in a few years I'll be teaching high school. I despise manual labor - actual work, not just gettin paid to sell stuff, etc etc.
 
i guess i just got used to it to tell u the truht its probably the best business to make the most money without a college degree up here in Montana.
 
manual labors a 2 sided deal. i spent the past 2 summers doing irrigation work, AKA lawn sprinklers and fountains for residential and commercial places. pretty much tons of digging, fuckin around in the mud, 9-15 hour days every day. yea, it definatly sucks from time to time, but at the same rate, its some manly shit, you get in damn good shape, spend all day outside, get a good tan, etc etc. frow what your sayin, sounds like a pretty cool job, id love to spend every day in a vineyard, enjoying the weather.
 
Honestly, I dont mind it. I worked surveying with my dad's company a few summers ago. Being outside and tromping through woods can be fun as hell, and you get a really good tan / build up some muscle as well. Also, most manual labor pays better than retail, so you can wave your extra dough around at your pale and scrawny friend working at American Eagle.

I'm actually going to be planting a ton of tree's over at my house this summer on my free weekends, and I'm really looking forwards to it.
 
as long as your task changes it is super sweet!! 20$ / hour, 10 hour days, 4 days a week, start at 6 am end at 430pm, hit the beach, have some dinnner go to bed and do it again. I enjoy it.  But if you do the same thing at work everyday it sucks an ass load, then you start dreaming about work all night and it feels like you never left.....sucks soo much. 
 
ohh ya, big ol' fag right here. Mm mm, love that cock.

3-10 hours is me working so enough that I'm not bored. I love it.
 
Ya, I'm sure it's a pretty cool job all in all; I've never done actual work before and it was shitty ass windy and raining out today so I was not happy. Hopefully this summer when it's nice out it'll be sick.
 
This seems like a lot of whining for a little work. You just make yourself sound really, really lazy, not being able to deal with taking down some branches. But if working outside isn't your thing, that's fine, just drop it and work retail or something.
 
My freshman and sophomore summers of College I worked drilling rigs and if you ever want motivation to get a degree go work out there. 12 hour days 7 days a week, dirty and hot, super dangerous, hard core labor, I meant every fucking second you are doing something especially out in the DJ where I was working. We were moving the rig every 5 to 7 days. That means swing a sledge for 12 hours. The first few days you go to bed and your arms still feel like you are swinging that shit. Like when you have been on a boat all day. People are always on your ass you get 5 mins for lunch. Only up side is 20-40 an hour and 44 hours of overtime a week.
 
My whole winter has been me sitting at a lift shack, watching people ski shitty conditions, working 25-30 hours a week and making about 600 each paycheck. I'm now doing both that, and my new job til i go to college, delivery driver. I work at this nice resturant/pizza place, really good food, and its not really expensive, its like 15 bucks for a 12" pizza. I worked 5 hours today, drove for 3 1/2 and made 37 bucks in wage, and 40 in tips. I'm pretty stoked. Thanks for reading my worthless post.
 
manual labour is actually really good. I worked for my dad for 2 months before christmas doing demolition work in his old building. manual work can get hella boring but its also good for your charachter - you'll never look down at tradespeople again. Its funny cause the summer before I was working in a cafe and everyone was pleasent toward me, however as soon as I slip into a pair of overalls and have rough hands and go into a shop everyone looks down their nose at you as if you are somehow an inferior being. you really learn alout about how society views certain jobs and the stigma attached to them. I loved it eh! Its like, I am who I am, but the clothes I wear and the work I do are more important than the person doing the work. It was awesome seing peoples reactions when you did something polite while wearing overalls, such as holding a door for someone or something like that.
 
STFU. If you bitch about labor your a pussy. I live on a farm and have been doing it my whole life. I dont bitch, neither should you.
 
Durning the summer, I get up at 4:30am, 7 days a week for months at a time, with out a day off and work between 8 to 16hrs a day. It's tough, the work I do really hurts my body, sometimes from a really hard day, I'll hurt for 2 days. But I love ever minunte of it, I really don't have a person looking over my sholder, I get in asome shape (can eat a ton of food and never get fat), best of all I'm out side every day.
 
yea it does i clean this place called eating well. its a magazine co and when i clean the kitchen i clean them out of sake too.
