Its just a job





Sometimes I wonder why I have to go through all this. Waking up everyday to get to work, go home late and to receive a meagre sallary at the end of the month. Its all for survival. We get to put food on the table and a roof over our heads.

Its amazing what some go through to do just that. The window washer dropped by our floor the other day. Hard at work, their job is to ensure that theTwin Towers shine and glitters everyday. One would not be able to imagine what it would be like up there. I'm only on the 15th floor, these guys start at the 88th floor. Depending on weather conditions, their safety basket does not look much to offer to protect against harsh weathers. All for survival, food on the table.
We all work hard to provide for our families. To provide our children a better life. It would be hard to imagine the pressure thinking that there are people who depend on us, to bring home an income, so life can go on.

We forget to appreciate what we have, to say thank you for the rezeki granted upon us.
There are some people who has to go further to bring comfort to their families.

the only place I can think of as you described is offshore oil rigs? Well, at least the amount that gets into your pocket is comforting
