I was at my Spanish class last week and was attempting to explain - in Spanish - what I am doing for work this winter (estoy removando la pintura del barco?). However, explanations being difficult, and my classmates being much more into English, they spent the break asking me for further information. Turns out one of the older guys in the class had spent some of his career with the Coast Guard, and was commiserating with me about my daily grind. "Grinding is the worst job," he told me sympathetically. "The only thing worse is having to get into the holding tank." The holding tank. aka the black water tank. aka the shit tank.
Well, today Adam and I climbed in and hauled out some 7 or so buckets of dried shit, as well as tools and a massive ventilation tube, that a cleaning crew had thoughtfully left for us the week before.
I am sure there is some humor to be found in this situation...
