If you look at me you may think I’m lazy, or that I would rather work behind a counter at a store than work with my hands, just by seeing the way I act or dress. But what you may not know is that I know how to drive several different machines, like a skid steer, or that I’ve helped build a treehouse and a deck, or that I make my money from lawn care and and small jobs. My very first job was working with my neighbor helping him around his property. I started out by just raking and picking weeds, but I soon learned many to do new tasks. When my neighbor bought a bobcat zero-turn ride-on lawn mower, he should me how it runs and how the grass should be cut with it. My first cut on the mower did not end so well, I finished most of the lawn and …show more content…
I like to learn new things all the time and building stuff is one of my favorite things to learn how to do. While helping build the tree house I learned a lot of new skills in having to level everything out and making sure everything is right and not to screw up My boss is just starting to redo his deck and it’s very fun to help, like just the other day I got to put in beam braces under the deck. I had very little work space which made it super hard to maneuver around and put in the nails, although it made it more fun. I enjoy my job, it’s super fun although some days can be slow, I’m always doing something, and the best part is that I don’t have to stand behind a register or desk and give a fake smile to customers. I find so much peace and fun while doing what I do, and when I get older I want a job that I’ll enjoy just as much as the job I do now. I’m the type of guy that you can give a job to and I’ll do it without complaints, now I can be a very quick learner for any task, but before I get it perfect, I make many mistakes. The words I’ll always remember, is whenever I would screw up or break something my boss would always yell, “Damn it Danny, this is why we can’t have nice things”. I now make money from doing clients lawns, and still help with my boss with any small jobs that he needs
Bobby finds himself a hard low paying job. It doesn't matter to him how much it pays, but he wants to feel secure about himself that he can do something in his life except eat. The job is to mow a lawn f...
Although hiswork in hauling and spreading manure is entirely different from my work in fixing bicycles, Berry and I were still able to achieve the satisfaction that we sought for because we each have developed our own distinct definition of satisfaction. Nevertheless, by not strictly seeking for convenience and comfort, Berry and I were able to turn hassles into opportunities that establish our own legacy and inspire our future desires. As for me, thanks to the dirty bike work, I now want to become an engineer.
In the story of “Harvest of Shame, Harvest of Gold” the author Matt Nocton shows us the daily jobs of the workers. The workers daily job was trying to even today’s standards and also my job. Working as a machinist is trying in ways that can test your patience and even lead you to your breaking point. The job required me to glue blocks together weighing about a ton when finished. Also, the job was very trying when I needed to inspect parts and read blueprints with .005 tolerance. Another process trying for me at the start was setting up and running machines. The hardest for me was reading the lines of codes on the screen stating where the machine is cutting. My arrogant bosses think they know everything and not wanting to train me.
In other words, one would expect to see a blue-collared, middle class person showing what life is actually like on a farm. These people look like they haven’t gotten their hands dirty once in life. The man especially contradicts the farm life norm; he is clean shaven and preppy looking. This man pictured offers a good example of what our society is becoming, a group of people running away from manual, hardworking labor. Instead of working sun up to sun down like most farmers, our culture now sits in an office and works from nine to
not working to pay off my parents’ debts, but I am working to improve myself, and gain experience. Working as a landscaper I have had to wake up early to pick weeds and mow people’s lawns on days t...
...w can anybody think you are going to care about anything more important? A well-kept lawn can convey to a person that you do care, even about the little things. It can also reveal your attitude towards work. One of America’s earliest statesmen, Benjamin Franklin, once said that “It is the working man who is the happy man. It is the idle man who is the miserable man.” This quote reveals another truth about work. The fact is that work does not necessarily have to be work. Mowing your lawn does not have to be a chore that needs to be done. It can be a great way to relax and get some exercise. It all depends on how you choose to view it.
I was hired quickly and kept my first job for a year. During that year, I worked quite often, which had affected my school work. I didn’t make time to study and went to bed late most nights. As much as I wanted to quit, I kept working. I wanted to quit, because I feared I couldn’t keep up with school anymore. It terrified me that I would fall so behind, and never get anywhere in life. I kept faith, and I worked hard to get where I am today. I never gave up. I did not like asking for money at home, because I knew everyone was already struggling. I felt like I needed my job, so that I could make money to pay for things myself. Without work, I wouldn’t have any lunch money for school. My grandparents helped as much as they could. It's not their job though, I felt that it wasn’t fair they had to keep spending their money on me. Working has taught me great skills. I was shy before my first job. I am now more outgoing and social; I love meeting new people. I still work to this very day, and I am working hard in school. With good time management, I’m able to keep up with
All the time we are working the boss walks around examining the finished garments and making us do them over again if they are not just right. So we have to be careful as well as swift. But I am getting so good at the work that within a year I will be making $7 a w...
I have been employed 2 and a half years, and over these past few years I have cross trained in 5 different departments and maintained what my manager calls the “highest levels of productivity for any student I’ve had work under me”. Thanks to this job I have also developed a passion for customer service. I routinely find myself going above and beyond for example, I once stayed half an hour after I had clocked out to help an older gentleman find all the items on the list his wife had left him. He couldn't reach the top shelf due to his arthritis, and had trouble seeing, I listened and gave him advice on how to reach out to his granddaughter. That moment I realized this was a feeling I wanted to pursue, and that decision has led me to a career in social
Doing lawn work needs manual labor and not many young people are willing to do such hard work. As a result, lawn work is most likely reserved for middle-aged work. It does not need high education level, but the technique of controlling the grass mower. Paul Graham leaves his initial impression of American working class in this photograph. The United States as a big and powerful country, people always see its bright side and neglect the life of poor people.
Having those fellow co workers that bring you down, the ungodly amount of hours you have to work, and at time just the job in itself can be the reason that you have a horrible attitude about working. Find a job that you know you will enjoy doing, because doing that boring job in the end will do nothing but give you a bad attitude about the rest of the working
My mentor name was David Joe Ursy. He works for Joe McGee Construction. He works for Joe McGee on the farm portion of his business. He works on tractors, combines, welding, and farming crops. He has been working for Joe McGee for 20-30 years. To me it's fun and interesting. I like to do it some people don’t like it. When we started working on my project, I cleaned all the metal with a wire brush. Once I got it all the metal cleaned of rust, I started making the top after I got the top like I wanted it, I welded it and put all the nuts and bolts inside the table. I checked to see how it looked and took them out. I cleaned the camshaft and welded it to the flexplate.
job was doing basic secretarial work for my step father & Kajima International during the summer of my 9th grade
In the case of my job on Mr. Wright’s farm, I recall being nervous and apprehensive about driving a huge tractor baling hay on a steep hillside. However, baling hay became second nature to me over the course of two weeks, and I hence made over 300 bales by the end of the season. Yet, one doesn’t have to do farm work in order to gain confidence. For example, consider someone working at McDonald’s. While the typical workday is monotonous and boring, there is confidence gained in being able to devote one’s time to a task and be sufficient.
As far back as I could remember, I was always in a rush to grow up and be responsible. I was about thirteen when I realized I wanted a job, so I could have my own money. I’d even fill out applications online, lying about my age but it never worked. A few birthdays went by and I was celebrating my sixteenth birthday and a few weeks later; I received my first retail job. My very first job was at a popular teen store called Aeropostale. I learned and experienced a lot working there and made friends as well. Although, I got what I desired, I often had uncertainties once I really got the feel for the part-time position. In life, people leave and things change and by the end of my employment, I would soon look back and realize it.
