First time I heard this story the whole team died because all their shoes' soles were made out of iron or something like that whereas the other team had wooden ones.

Not 100% sure about that though.

And people say Mother Nature doesn't play favourites

its what my parents taught me. if someone tells you to do something, and they make your schedule or sign your check, you do it. the end.

Exactly! I respect you for the ability. I've noticed that's a rare skill these days. I worked at a summer job a few years ago doing trail maintenance for Northwest Youth Corps (basically pulling ivy and digging shit up 40 hours a week) and people would bitch and moan about every task they were given. I was like "bitching about it doesn't make the work any easier, just stfu and do as you're told. Why did you sign up for physical labor just to complain about being told to do exactly what you were expecting?"

The point is I agree, shutting up and doing as your told will make your managers/bosses love you. You can bring up complaints about the treatment or work, but do it calmly and in an organized fashion later on.

Great motto, but hard work should never go unappreciated

nope, left when it was apparent that they would never make me manager

That sucks, from the sound of these stories you worked hard even though bad shit just kept happening
