Full Moon on the First Day

It’s all the little things you forget about working a real ‘job’.  Things like bantering over what channel to listen to on the radio, trying to find the right size of work gloves, and filling out your time card.  Today I learned how to unload a 50 pound empty wine barrel from a trailer with an old tire, rolling the heavy barrel across the floor and lifting it up to my chest and onto another.  I also learned that old wine stains are grayish black and contain bacteria that can’t be sticking around on the barrel racks once the fruit comes in, and the only way to get it off is with soda (Oxyclean, pretty much) and elbow grease.  The only complaint that I had all day was that I forgot to pack a belt.
