Man, I loved working construction. Admittedly, I was young and strong, and my body could handle the workload. That stuff will flat out use you up over decades of strain. But working outside, with my hands, making something tangible I could see at the end of the day? Fuck yeah man. It was deeply satisfying. Unfortunately, I had the aptitude and training to do more demanding, less fun, arguably more important work, so no more ladders and hammers for me.
