Besides phisical effort, is the dream changed. Working in shifts is exhausting. Takes some getting used. To make matters worse, lately, I am the backup "reinforce". In a very, very colloquial Spanish we could say "machaca". (isn't in the dictionary). As I am the rookie and many people is having their Summer hollidays, I am working at nights, which is the more complicate shift since it has only a person in charge . I have been working a fornight at night and I have ahead, another four weeks, the whole August.
In short, it's a reality hit. Not everything is pink colour. Life is also brown and sometimes gloomy.

ReplyDeleteIn short, it's a reality hit. Not everything is ROSE-colourED (or rosy). Life is also brown and sometimes gloomy.
Good vocabulary, Eduardo, especially: fatigue, exhausting, rookie, reality hit, and gloomy. You used them all perfectly. You are definitely not "seeing the world through rose-colored glasses" (an expression).
