Why we are where we are....

[Icecoldviper]

I'll be the 2nd, then.. I have a desk job... and I absolutely think skilled labor is important!

There are many times when I'd rather be working with my hands than pushing a pencil (or keyboard- virtual pencil)

I do network implementation- a design engineer dreams it up, we build it.. without the skilled labor to build that equipment, install it, power it up, maintain it, we wouldn't get anything done..

I do all my own work on my cars, because I miss working with my hands.. at work, it's all just voices over the phone & dots on the computer screen anymore.. maybe I'm not an "office type" at heart, but it's my job...

Whats this first and second crap I posted it!

Joking aside I do miss my construction job sometimes... sure I would go home and be tired but at least I could fall asleep when I wanted to. Not lay in bed for however long trying to get stuff out of my head being all stressed out and unhappy. Maybe its just my office but everyone is against each other. "why can so and so do or wear that?" or some other crap.

Plus it kept me in decent shape. This last summer I helped my parents redo their fence one weekend and it kicked my ass trying dig the holes for the fence post. (the pos auger we rented wasn't worth a damn and got stuck on rocks and stuff... would have been cake had I still been in shape....

Most of all I just miss being outside and moving around. Being stuck in a chair all day without even a window to look out sucks feels like prison.

Help!
