Man...I put roguing and detassling out of my mind evidently. It was not my first job, but I didnt like doing either one! I remember one day I wanted out of there so badly that I faked being sick. They sent me to the bus. When a supervisor came around, I took a swig of my hot vegetable soup that my mom had packed, chewed it up slightly, and then spit it out like I had thrown up. Needless to say, I got to go home. That was the summer I decided to teach private swim lessons...and was much happier.
