Lol, I was just a regular metalworker. But back then, I worked in the horticulture sector.
There were huge greenhouses. - in the summer, my job involved tearing down and rebuilding
them and swapping out heavy water pumps. - In the winter, I worked as a stoker, feeding eight
boilers using an excavator. - One of the boilers was as tall as a three-story building, and I had
to supply the coal. - Those were always 12-hour shifts because no one else knew how to
operate the excavator. - Since I was a metalworker, I could also weld a link if a conveyor belt
broke down. - As a tradesman, you were always under time pressure because a greenhouse
loses heat very quickly in the winter.

So, what’s *your* job, - photographing trucks ? ;)

When I was young, I loved the night shift because my boss would sleep ^^. You earned more money,
sure, but I saw my wife too rarely, and eventually, that became a major problem. We ended up separating,
and I was working 12-hour shifts seven days a week with only a day and a half off.
I could only manage to sleep for a night or two at a time, and I lived next to a school where the bell
rang every 45 minutes. - You can only handle that sort of thing when you're young ;)
nowadays, my nerves are already on edge if my neighbor just makes a bit of noise.

OVER - häää... ? ^^

Here are just a few elements of the big picture:

1. The constant background noise of retail work can make people sick, leading to increased stress, fatigue, and physical strain. While standard retail environments rarely reach the extreme decibel levels that cause sudden hearing loss, chronic exposure to unmanaged sound—such as music, cash registers, buzzing electronics, and crowds—triggers measurable health issues.

2. Physical and Mental Effects Elevated Stress Hormones: Continuous sound activates the body's stress response, raising heart rate, blood pressure, and cortisol levels even at moderate volumes.

3.Migraines and Nausea: On community platforms like Facebook, opinions are mixed regarding high-pitched electrical or speaker hums, but some employees report suffering from severe headaches, dizziness, and nausea.

4. Mental Exhaustion: Unwanted background noise causes chronic fatigue, irritability, and anxiety, which directly accelerates worker burnout.

5. Sleep Disruption: The physiological stress of a loud shift can linger, making it difficult to unwind and sleep properly after leaving work.

All things I can verify are 100% true, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. So keep yourself in check my friend.

You must be exhausted Jim! I know all about it. When you are literally the manager, you have to cover all sorts of call out shifts. etc. It's a never ending story. I have actually been feeling sick after just a few days of the work week a lot lately. Plus, the longer I do this the more frazzled I feel when I actually get home. Any little noise is too much until I have a few minutes of pure silence. I did some research, and it's a proven thing.

When we had all that rain, we had mosquito hell. So I feel for ya.

Jimbo, you need to know that Jadyn reached out to me today in a DM on YT. She told me that she will always be grateful for everything that you have done for her us a father, but she must follow her heart and move to Ireland to be with me, which will leave you behind. She did say however, that she'll fly back to you on occasion so that you can see your grandkids. She didn't have the heart to look you in the eye, and tell you this herself. So she is asking me to tell you on her behalf. I hope you'll be ok. Can we have your blessing?

On another topic. How's the work life?

Hey Jim! We got a bit of rain this morning so the heat not so bad today. Are you getting less rain? How is everything?

I wasn't sure if that comment about your vacation was real or a joke. Are you actually going camping? Sucks about your co-worker.

I AM feeling lucky, in the next 48 hours.
