Part 0.5 Adventure Ready
There wasn’t much time for anything after I retired to my sisters’ house. Two days later, I returned to Queensland. Life continued as usual up there, and there were plenty of times when I almost called the whole trip off. I felt so much at home at that job. The work itself was hot, sweaty, challenging, heavy and every now and then, you get a caustic kiss. But the blokes were just exceptional, which shows how much the people you work with can change the situation. Side note: This also includes a job where I had to change the stirring mechanism in a giant pool of poop! Imagine an Olympic swimming pool full of poop. Human poop. It gets stirred by these horizontal paddles that cross the pool. These paddles are plastic and scrap along the bottom of the pool. Ergo, they need to be replaced every year. So yes, I have literally had jobs that were full of shit…
