barkin dogs, stick trimmers and sunburn

after some 8 weeks of being back here in wisconsin, 4 jobs, and about 10,000 job applications i finally have a solid job. i'm working at Northcentral Technical College (NTC) as a groundskeeper. it's certainly not pretty, but it's a guaranteed 40 a week. the people i work with/for are all very nice, the pay is good, and the work is honest. i'm not a big 1st shift guy, i much prefer showing up at 3 and working til 11 instead of working "normal people" hours. but hey, like i've said, it's a good job.
after sitting on my ass for 2 months, it feels really good to be sore at the end of the day. and it feels even better to crack open a beer, sit down in the garage/gentelmens lounge, and philosophise with my old man.
God is good and so are his many blessings.

I would like to crack a beer and listen to you and your dad. I'll be right over.

hold on, does the "barking dogs" phrase refer to your feet, or your co workers?

He failed to mention that one of his fellow grunts is a good looking co-ed. And be sure to ask him about the bird feeder when you see him next.
