Yeah i never had time to post about this. But i had gotten a job managing a fireworks tent from the 24th, thru til 2 minutes ago today. I had left on the 20th and it was sort of an ambushed "Its time to go!". So i never even had a chance to pack my essentials. Luckily, i got $10 a day for food or toiletries. And i made it work.
So yeah, the Trailer i was living in, i called the "Final Destination Trailer". The floor leaked, so i had to keep the water off until i needed to shower or wash dishes, which meant i had to walk across a field like "The Walking Dead" to turn on or off the tap. When it rained, the roof leaked onto my bed...so i slept with a bucket on my bed. No internet, no TV, and if i turned on the AC, it shorted out. Apparently, they paid $500 to remodel the inside of the camper, and all they did was rip out the carpet, and put down Self-Adhesive tiles. Outlets were exposed, half the lights didn't work...and the only thing that did, was the water heater. Imagine getting water hot enough to make tea, when you turn on the cold tap.
But i had fun. People kept asking about these unmarked explosives the last people were selling, against the law i might add. Apparently, someone was making mini sticks of black powder dynamite in that trailer....it would explain the burn holes. And it was alot of "Wake up at 6:30am, roll up tent, sit outside til 10:00pm, roll down tent, fall asleep- rinse and repeat" until the 3rd. By the 2nd, the customers picked up. Then on the 3rd, 4th and today, we got hammered. We stopped opening the box's and stacking, at one point, we just sliced the top of the box off, threw it up on the counter and shouted "Back! Back Devils!"
See, the tent i was at, their prices were suggested retail. So, a 6-piece re loadable mortar box, was $6.99. Our biggest artillery box, a 90 shot with 170 breaks, sold for $149.99. It was insanity.
.....anyways, had a fun year...and i cant wait to do it again for the Winter Season...it will be colder then =w=
