    Default Manual Labor

    My dad and I cut down a dying tree in our front yard this afternoon. There was so many little twigs and vines off of it! My hands are a little raw from yanking on so many strands of vines and I'm just about tired to where I don't want to move xD (typing is actually a bit of a chore atm too).

    I did get to use a chainsaw for the first time this afternoon and cut a small section of limb for our stove.

    So what heavy tiresome manual labor have you done lately or that you do routinely?

    I don't think I do manual labor. I think the closest I've even done to it in years is move and organize heavy suitcases at work that are practically my height... xD

    I don't do any, because I am not a savage.

    No, you probably have people you'd pay to do that stuff.

    I had to shovel way too much snow in the driveway. I hate that.

    I do not employ savages, either. We have machines for a reason, my dearubah.

    I have to make the machines.. well make them up and try it out.. so using machines to make machines seems a little much

    Christmas Day at work.
    Running around at the movie theater cleaning up stuff and helping move around stock is tiresome, but I perservere. >D

    Well, lately I have been moving my room completely, including cleaning it. Sadly, I have to do it myself .

    And the machine we used was a chainsaw, which still requires manual labor 8)

    There's a cost/labor formula somewhere, and I don't think the cost of building and renting specialized tree cutting machinery to cut down one tree so that it doesn't fall down and damage the house is worth the few ounces of gas and two hours of two-man labor!

    Don't be such a pansypanties. Machines aren't the end all to be all.
