the mad marathon

i'm so fucking tired i can't think straight. i just worked 8 hours on a blast furnace with hardly any break time. imagine sucking in about half a pound of dust and dirt while you work in a grease pit wiring up a motor. it sucked.

now, i have to leave in 22 seconds to go take a test and sit through a 3 hour lecture on ac and dc motors. sometimes i forget why the hell i'm doing this. us steel took my apprenticeship away and i still want to be an electrician. i guess i'll just have to make the donuts for now and try to remember that this is my bus ticket out of that place. even if it might take a little longer and take a different route than originally planned. i need a coffee, a bit of food, a nap and some strong liquor and i'll be ok.
