Confessions of a Blue Collar Wife


about blue collar people

This is a group that will celebrate our blue collar men and women.  These wonderful people are the ones that do the jobs that no one else wants to do.  It was so wonderful that everyone responded to the blog the way they did with such warm responses.  Our teachers, military, police officers, firemen, farmers,  etc....  Hard working people that get up every morning and head toward these thankless jobs to make life better for everyone around them.  To all these men and women I extent my sincerest graditude.  Keep up the good work!!!! 

 

Tell us what it is like as a day in the life of ___________?

Let's hear it for cashiers who hear complaining all day hear hear!!

HEAR HEAR

Yeah Im number 3! dixie- Its like people just do it to make your life horrible.

lets hear for the construction workers who battle the elements day in and day out !

maybe instead of flipping them off because they complicate your morning commute maybe you could bring them a cold drink and say thank you for the job you do.

AMEN Sweet Rose I am married to a construction electrician and he faces the elements every day. Thank you for your response, nice to meet you by the way.

Husband use to do it, Im so glad he dont anymore I felt so bad for him in this weather. I feel sorry for all the guys out there killing there selves.

I know this heat is terrible.

When is it that the blue collar people are going to advance in the world? It seems like we always have to struggle and work like a dog and never profit like all the big ceo's etc. We work harder than they do and yet look at the pay check difference.

nice to meet you too marshallsmom ...

my husband has been in construction most of his adult life after coming out of the army. He is a heavy equipment operator. He has moved up and has a bull dozer with AC now but for many years he did not have that. Still the long hours ... the long drives to the job sites and the heat take a toll on him every year.

at work ... I have always said that the blue collar workers are the rungs of the ladder that people are stepping on to climb .. you know. They are over worked ... always ... under appreicated most of the time ... and under paid all of the time !

I want someone to please tell me how in the heck you are suppose to be able to get by on minimum wage !
