And So It Begins (Part Three)

Another day has come and gone and I hope you spent it well. Hope it was eventful and rewarding? For me of course, it was another day at the farm, another day to work myself to my limit and more. It started just like other days we've had since the beginning of our industrial training, but something I wasn't expectimg happened.

When we woke up in the morning and people started for the bathroom to get their bath, we discovered there was no water. This was compounded by the fact that the landlady wasn't around. As a matter of fact, she hasn't really been around since we arrived and the switch controlling the pump is in her flat, big dilemma.

Knowing our situation, our group lead called the manger of the farm and explained things to him, asking for an extension of the time of resumption to reflect current reality. He agreed to our request, so we had to start sourcing for water in the environs. We did manage to get some, bath as little as we could afford under the circumstances and started on our way to the farm.

We got to the farm, and myself and @Kushyzee started immediately. We quickly completed the feed stuff we were going to need for today's work. Soon after we started formulating layer mash for the poultry. The goal was eight tons, but by the time we were about to start the third one, the crusher component of the set-up got damaged.

This afforded us some break as our instructor went about trying to understand what was going on with the machine. Soon he concluded that we were moving over to the second machine, but just about that time, the director showed up for a meeting with us, so we had to leave the work to our supervisor and an assistant.

The meeting was quite productive by his standard I presume. He made clear the rules and the likes and we made our own grievances know as well, but he was cunningly sidelining most of them, telling us he will get back to us. I suspect with a high degree of certainty that he won't. Personally if I have to rebel for them to hear what we are saying, that's what I'm going to do.

We got back to our task of formulating feed. After formulating another two tons, I couldn't take it anymore as my whole body system seemed to have been really damaged. With the pain on my spinal cord and the catarrh that's been disturbing me for a week, I was realky struggling for breath. That's why I had to give in and find a place to rest.

While I was trying to rest and catch my breath, I slept off, waking up intermittently, but never stood up to help or anything. By the time, I thought I was okay enough to help them out, they had finish the feed formulation.

We went to the fisheries department to feed the fishes, after which we marked our attendance for the day and headed home. On getting home, I quickly had tea and bread as I've been doing since we started this IT.

I am really hoping to be free of this sore throat, cough and catarrh by tomorrow as I cannot take another day of it really. I did try to get drugs for it, but the patent medicine store in this area had closed already.

I'm going to bed now. Tomorrow is another day and we go at it again. Thanks for reading my rant. I noticed that my viewership has really reduced, but I guess that's understandable, this is why I'm saying thank you from the depths of my heart to all of you who support me here on this platform, even when I've been complety absent from your articles. God bless you guys for your understanding.
