Water Line Installation

Consider the following: It is the beginning of your first job as a water line installation technician. Your first assignment as a member of the crew is to bury the water lines, which you find extremely unappealing. You do not believe that this would be a bad job, and you even believe that it would be enjoyable in some ways. Your company has invested in some high-tech ditch-digging equipment, which you hope will make the job a little easier. You begin digging the ditch as soon as possible. The situation does not appear to be problematic at first glance. The dirt is loose, and the sun isn’t yet too high in the sky, making for a pleasant environment. You will, however, begin to experience back pain from hours of digging, and the earth will gradually transform into hard, compacted soil with large boulders within a few hours of starting. You haven’t even gotten half way through the process. You quickly realized why the newcomer had been assigned to this position.

Consider the following: It is the beginning of your very first construction project. As the newest member of the team, you are tasked with the unappealing task of cleaning out the port-a-potty. You can see your boss talking to a couple of people who are standing to the side of the construction site. When you inquire as to their identity, your coworker informs you that they are the company responsible for installing the water lines. After a few days, you discover that the company is Dunn Excavation, and that they have completely dug out the ditches, installed the water lines, and then covered them up with dirt. The thought crosses your mind, “I’m relieved I didn’t have to use a shovel to install the water lines myself.”
