One time on my way to work, I experienced that unforgettable traffic congestion. It’s really unforgettable because I got mad. Despite of my early preparation and being excited, I came late at work. The road I needed to get through is under construction. The movement of vehicles is very slow. Aside from different kinds of vehicles and some passengers I did not see other things but those equipped men who are doing the road construction. Some passengers are taking naps. I have no choice but watching those men at work.
As I am watching those men at road construction, I’ve noticed a lot of things. How hardworking they are for working the whole day under the sun. What an uncomfortable feeling it is! I also noticed that they are wearing work boots, gloves and hard cap. They are also wearing overalls which I think add heat to the body as I imagine wearing it. But then I realize that maybe those are the best protections for their safety as well as for their health.
Because it was a wide and long road, I’ve noticed that they are in groups. Some men wear different work shirts and work pants. Well, whatever they wear for as long as it protects and supports them and keep them safe, it’s important. I realized then that I am very lucky because I work and earn in much lighter way from the kind of office work I have.
