Detasseling// Things I'm loving #8

Well, detasseling is {Lordwilling} about half over! This is the point where I am normally a walking zombie. This year is no different. At this point I am sick of dealing with stupid {and I am being nice when I say stupid- a lot of other words come to mind} kids who don’t get it even when I explain something in simple sentences one hundred times. My 10 month old brother understands better than they do.

Because of lack of crew leaders I have had my own crew two days, and been a checker the rest of the time. I like not having to pick better, but at the same time it can be pretty boring if you have a good crew. When you don’t have a good crew- um… a nice word… hmm… I guess Ill just keep my mouth shut so I don’t get in trouble.

I am tired now. Not really like “I need to sleep” tired- more like sick of corn tired. Sick of walking tired. I think I have probably walked at least 3 to 5 miles through corn fields every day we have worked. That’s what happens when you have super good {fast} kids, and stupid {slow} kids. Some are at one end of the field, while the others are still at the beginning.

I found out that I got a raise this year- which is really nice. Usually you don't get a raise until you are officially a crew leader. Maybe its because I have worked 5 years now- I think there is only one person there who has worked longer than me and my dad.
