No way! I haven't seen a bale of hay in at least 25 years. Or are you talking about the big communist round bales? Hell, son, that ain't hauling hay.
And get off my lawn.

No kidding. 700-800 bales loaded on the truck, then into the barn was one hell of a days work. Getting them into the barn loft after tossing them on the truck all day was a grind.

A groundskeeper/maintenance job for a country club. Besides refilling water coolers, brushing off tennis courts, and cleaning up general trash I didn't do a damn thing for hours at a time. It was actually quite boring.

Did it negatively affect your opinions about Nursing Homes like it did mine?
I despise them & probably turned me off to working in the Medical field in general
Would do my absolute best to prevent a loved one from ending up in a Home.

My first job that wasn't on the family farm was on a surveying crew.

Cleaned hog head cheese pans that had been sitting out for weeks, in the summer. There are few things on earth that smell worse than head cheese grease in the heat.
Also, cleaning an 80 year old smoke house... it could have easily been an episode on dirty jobs.
My dad made sure I learned what work ethic was at an early age.

Besides cutting grass for years, worked in a movie theater and at chic fil a last few months of high school. Then in a steel factory summer before college.
Steel factory was a full grown man's job. Dad got it for me from an old army buddy. Motivated the hell out of me right before college. Talking I was a jock in high school that played basketball, football, and ran track and sported a 2.6 GPA, cut class and do whatever the hell I wanted.
Worked.in that steel factory in 120 degree heat with gloves, hard hat, long sleeves, boots, arm guards and all for a boiling hot june-august.
Made all A's in college with 2 Bs and nothing else until my senior year.
That steel factory changed me and made me decide right then that wasn't gonna be my life.
