off to work, UGH.

Work, work, work, aaaaaaand work. Today? it isnt different than yesterday, or the day before, or the day before that, or even tomorrow. It's the same everyday. Get up, go to work, work until youre exhausted,sleep, get up, and back to work. You think it's not that bad, but trust me, it is. Having to work for hours and hours and hours under the hot, humid climate is not easy. And you think I go there and have fun with the guys? No. Being scared of losing your life is not a good feeling. Knowing that every mile of the Canal, 500 lives are lost keeps you terrified and worried whether youre next or if its the guy you just became friends with. Sudden death to some people sounded pretty good compared to suffering. Diseases and physical exertion didnt make it any easier. Working at the Canal was not an easy task. The hot climate, the spreading diseases, the fear of being killed, yeah, trust me .. its not really the life you'd want.
