Regardless of the job, your motto should always be "Fuck you, pay me." Don't ever give your labor away for free.

Two decades of dedicated attention to my PPE at work appear to have atrophied my safety squint reflexes. I don't know how else to explain the two bugs that have dive bombed right in to my eyeballs over the past 8 days. I'm trying to be on vacation here!
