Mines two weeks.. Day in & day out.
I was doing the scrapping by myself & it was all wrecked cars in a remote area & I was only getting the wiring looms out. Just trying to get a good lump sum of $$$
Since it was so dirty & without anyone else around and I had to do a LOT of walking, I didn't have time to do 'other' things.
I also would have to use a friends shower as mine wasn't working...
I had to walk there, 1/2 hour, do the scrapping & amassing the looms in sacks, walk back home, 1/2 hour, sit & cut the plugs & coverings off. All dirty work, sitting in engine bays plucking the wire out.
Then take that single plastic coated wire 1/2 way back & hide it so I could burn it off later at night.
After a few days I started working at night & sleeping during the day.
So I decided to go for it & just changed clothes as I needed too. I started picking up the heater cores & any loose Ali as well.
The last night I burnt off the wire & took it home to clean it up. Got some sleep.
On the next/last day. I sold all the metal & went over to the friends place for a shower. Since he had only 'fire heated' hotwater (kitchen stove with a 'wetback' (all you Americans can have a larf at the wetback reference)) I also had to supply the wood & heat the water first.
So I get the fire going & he says "We have to go do some shopping at the Warehouse" (Kmart).
So I decide to go too while the waters heating up.
I'm in the que for the checkout & some Mother with 2 kids is behind me. I'm trying to stand still in the same spot & keep my elbows down to keep the stink contained....
And this kid starts whining, you know what its like. "Can I have this, then this then, why not this, if I can't have that then can I have this, why not, you are getting something, I want something too, yahhh yarrrhhh" snotty little ****.
So I take a big sideways step & the kid follows into where I was & he goes "Whaaat about this then, its only two doll .... clik clug"
as he chokes & suddenly forgets what he was saying, & why.........
So I get what I want & go to leave & as I leave I hear the mother say "Boy, he's got a phew hasn't he?"
& the Checkout operator says "Its not as bad as some of them...."
'Not as bad as some of them'... wow, now thats gotta be bad.
I picked up my dirty clothes after the shower & nearly dropped them. It smelt just like a pigsty.
