Aching Shoulder

"It's not supposed to be fun, that's why it's called work."-Ellis Kent Miller

I have had two legit jobs in my life. Both of wich i have a love hate relationship with. But it wasn't until today that i TRULEY understood this saying from my father. There is no such thing as a job that you will love everyday, all day! It's impossible. There is always going to be someone that makes you mad, something that you have to do, an employee partner that makes you mad, or a part of the management that you will always hate! You may be wondering how my title to this post is relevant to it at all. Well, i will tell you. Because it is indeed relevant! :)

I work in the Theory Lab at a music academy in Ogden and Clearfield. My job work is pretty light, so the 'head honcho's' always seem to give me their jobs to do, because I have time to do them. So for most of my time at work on Thursday i was cutting down music so that it would fit in a page protector for the theory books. It was on of those paper cutters that you have to press down pretty far before the blade will even begin to cut the paper. So i left work, fine. I went home to my family that was playing the wii. They were seeing what their wii sports age is. so they encouraged me to try is as well(which by the way, i'm 42 hahahahahaha). It involved returning tennis balls, hitting home runs, and knocking down all the pins in bowling. It takes three or four minutes to finish this. I got tired quickly, so i went to bed after we had all taken a turn. But to my dismay, when i woke up the next morning my shoulder killed. I assumed that it was from the wii and went on with my day. I got ready for work in clearfield and went. Again i had some paper cutting assignments And after i had cut my first piece of paper, my muscle instantly knew what had made it sore. It was that darn cutting machine. Although it hurt my shoulder more, i finished all that i could.

To top it all off,

we all received a Bravo shirt to wear at work from now on. Sigh. Flip. really?? i've been able to wear what i want and i have fully accepted that. but i guess i can go with the flow right.

It really isn't too bad. It could be worse. I could work at footlocker and look like i'm in prison or something right? ;)

So today, well, yesterday, that very day is when i realized. That there is always going to be a part of your job that will give you... an aching shoulder.
