Finally, after almost 9 months I'm back to work.I wasn't getting my hopes up after being told I was being called back but seeings as how this has been day 2.... I am back to work.
These past 2 days of working in the direct sun, no shade, with the sun reflecting off white concrete block walls hasn't been fun though. It has completely drained 9 months of stored up energy. I probably downed 2 gallons of water yesterday alone and it didn't even phase the heat. I literally felt like I was ready to pass out by 9:00 yesterday morning and the day was just starting.
The good thing about the heat was coming home tonight and finding 5 ripe tomatoes and to be sitting here right now dripping the juices of my first tomato sandwich of the year all over my keyboard. It was worth the wait. You southerners are lucky to be ahead of my growing season but I'll tell you what, there is nothing like a Jersey Tomato. Specially the one I just finished off.
LOL Mac, glad you're back to work and enjoying your maters!!
