Just reminds me of working in construction.
We were on this one jobsite of a bunch of Townhouse Condo buildings that we were renovating and we had all these different contractors working on various different parts of the projects.
And it was like the United Nations. It was wild at the end.
You've a crew like me, the Canadian University students making a few bucks in the summer and then you had the Pro-Tradies like the Greek bricklayers or the Eastern European Union of sparkies, the Romanian carpeters the Croatian roofers, it was pretty awesome.
So near the end of the project the site super gets us all in and he'd made all the arrangements with 'stuff' he had just lying around and told us...we're all going to celebrate!
The Greeks built a spit out of left-over bricks and roasted a Lamb which, that was pretty wild, you have to rotate it all day so they did it in shifts. Everyone brought something, we had a BBQs that had been replaced form the units and bathtubs full of ice and each crew brought beer, wine or spirits from their respective countries and the super topped it up with Canadian beer!
We had an absolute blast! But where is this story going you might be pondering to yourself?
Well. When we were done we had a significant number of empty bottles and people are going to be taking possession pretty soon so we had to clean up.
The site supervisor says to us he says..."no worries, I got this!"
He hops into his truck and we just shrug and go back to partying.
20 minutes later, I #### you not, he comes back with a Hobo and a shopping cart in the back of his truck and says to him:
"Eat your fill, drink what you want, just make sure all the empties are gone, they're all yours."
