More Corn?

When I first started this summer job I told myself only throughout high school. It's only to earn some money to save up. Boy, was I wrong. Still, fifty years later, I wake up at 5:00 in the morning every day to go walk through fields detassling corn stalks. I have never gotten used to the blistering heat in the fields. Whenever I walking in the field I think of my air-conditioned houes and delicious ice cream in my freezer. That only makes me hate this job even more. Guarentee, the money is good but I am always exhausted. Once home from detassling I have to clean the house, cook dinner and take care of bills. The average time I get to sleep is 10:30 which only leaves me six and a half hours of sleep every night. After a while no sleep begans to wear on you. This job wears down on a person and because of it I can never eat corn for dinner.
