Ok, I had a bit of a break down today for the first time in a long time.  I had some dude talking about how hard he was having it at his work today.  He works at a Burger King as one of the night cooks and had the audacity to say that he had it hard.  So I almost imidiatly turned around and said "You think whats hard???"  The guy just about exploded in my face about how he's earning minimum wage and has to go to school at the same time, get off of school, do his homwork at his work, and do his work at the same time.  I told him that if he wants to know what hard work is then he should join me on the carrier some time and work an 18-20 hour shift on the flight deck in 100-150 degree heat with little or no breaks through the day and collect the same amount of pay that he earnes in not even 1/4 of the time.  His face turned about as white as a sheet of paper and said "WoW, you really do have it hard."  I get this all the time, people complaning about their work and how its so hard to work for so little.  I'll tell you what, you come trade shoes with me for a week and see if you don't snap befor your first paycheck, then get your first paycheck and have it vanish on you in the first hour you have it due to bills.  Thats when you and I will have something in common.  Thats right kids, this goes out to all of you who think you have it hard or tough in life, well I'm here to tell you that there is still someone out there that has it worse than you do.  My job as an ABH (Air Boatswanes Mate Handler) is classified as the second most hazordos job out there.  I do this job with as little pay as $1200 a month befor tax and around $900 after tax.  So now befor you say that you have it rough, remind yourself that there is someone like the men and women that serve in the armed forces that really have it hard, we go out of our way to defend our country just so we can get shit smeared in our faces when we come back home and then get told to use it on the field of battle where we get shot at and have our own get blown to bits right next to us.  This is what I define a hard worker as.  Can you dig it?

LOL! Instead of freaking out on that kid, you should have told him how easy and great your job is, and recruited him.   Then he would have got one right in the whopper.  With all this bullshit going on in the world not many people actually think about our brothers and sisters who give their time, energy, and even lives to give us the ability to walk down the street without having to fear a rocket blowing up right next to us.  Keep up the hard work Lonewolf, you are one of the very few with the balls to take on a task like that. If I could I'd email you a cold one.

With much love for his country and the people who defend it,

Believe me, if I started murdering people, there'd be none of you left.
