This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Don't know where do you live, but around here there is no construction jobs that only require you only to carry shit around. Also you need to learn a lot to carry shit around correctly unless you have spare back.

In Quebec they're called "journaliers" and being assigned to the Mason as a "journalier" sucks big time.

It's the entry level position in construction for people who didn't get a professional degree in a specific trade.

Glad to be enlightened, clearly this doesn't happen, since you haven't experienced it.

Big construction sites where I live definitely have such people, and it's a horrible job.
