I'm OOOO K

I am in fact not injured. I didn't get use many of my tools. Just the hammer. I beat in a stake for a while with it and then got a small sledge instead. Worked with a ton of great people. Ate some really yummy rice and beans. Poured concrete. OK, I didn't pour or even spray it. I shoveled it, and I carried buckets of it around. I tried a little finishing, but other people were much faster at it and I found that I could be more help in the 5 gallon bucket department.

Some tips when hauling concrete buckets.

You will quickly learn that one scoop too many is too god damn much.
Try to avoid the actual concrete as it sticks and will never come off. Ever. Well, that's what they tell me about my shoes anyways. I don't care how kind and giving you are if someone (me) drops a bucket 1/2 full of concrete near you, you will be pissed. Yes, I'm pretty sure any saint would have used that word when I dropped that on the form. A shovel to the thumb hurts. Yes, that one wasn't my fault, just a pure bucket slip while somone was scooping into it. (Again no injury, I'm fine.) Figure out who is on paid staff, and listen very carefully to them. Yes, I got that one right.

When you see a concrete truck pumping concrete, be in awe. Seriously. Awe. It's an engineering marvel and according to one of the americorp girls, "Looks like two dragonflys mating!"

yeah...
