It's all relative right? Hard work can mean many things to different people. I myself worked "hard labour" before deciding to go to school. I never would have thought I woul;d end up at university after high school, I just didn't see myself as that type of person. Unloading freight at a Zellers store while they were renovating the store. We ended up working many overtime hours without getting paid for it, also working in conditions that are definitely violations of the labour code/ OHS. I used to have nightmares of boxes, soo many boxes...*shudder*. My girlfriend came over one time and crawled into my bed while I was having a nightmare, told her there wasn't enough room (stockroom space). hahah, that didn't go over so well.
