Running the Race of Life

This one temp staffing agency sent me on this job to go pick apples for a day. At first, it sounded insulting to me because it seemed so far beneath my education and qualifications. However, it paid really well for that one say and I needed whatever money I could get my hands on right anyway so I went. I got up at the crack of dawn before it was even light out and got onto a bus with every other worker. Finally, we got to the orchards, were handed baskets, and were told to go pick. A cool breeze swept through and made the day feel really comfortable. I worked at my own pace, strolling through a beautiful orchard with swaying treetops and all different kinds and colors of apples. Gala, jonagold, macintosh, golden delicious, red delicious, and more. Whenever I got hungry, I’d just grab an apple and take a bite. The day didn’t drag at all and when the workday was over I went across the road to the café and had a nice dinner. While I’d probably hate doing this kind of work everyday, on that one day, it was quite pleasant and relaxing. I might even do it again eventually.
