Perhaps Timber folks should get hazard pay. Marking and cruising timber in inclement weather and on steep slopes with slippery rocks is as hazardous as working on a prescribed burn, unless you are a macho smokejumper thinking you are made of fireproof material and you do not listen when it is time to exit the unit. I worked on a burn with one of those. I finally left him and he eventually came out of the smoke and flame on his own, but he sure was stupid.
Should I have earned hazard pay for working around logging operations? When I fired up Twinkle to cut a tree out of the road? When out driving on icy roads where log truck traffic was heavy? What constitutes a hazard?
Perhaps Chrissy at the grocery store should have her pay docked. Chrissy had her face mask pulled down around her neck, was belching and yelling and basically being unprofessional while working at the checkout counter. I can only think that Chrissy must be related to the store owner. I'll add that store to my no go list, at least until my vaccination kicks in, which is in nine more days.
