5 Things that we could add to our resume...

Well, my platoon and I have been through a lot this month. We've done SAF decorations at SAFTI MI. And mind you, we put in our best efforts in everything we do. And that's when chances to learn new skills arise and of course, we grab 'em.

#5
Ladder-confidence
If you want to get anything done that requires a climbing of ladders, you've got the right men! Fear-of-heights is not something you'd find in our vocabulary sonny. We've been at it for hours at a time, doing things that require high concentration like tying the buntings on the right lamp-railing using cable ties. I'll pay anybody 5 bucks if they can do it faster than anyone of us. Try me.

#4
Ironing
You know that you've topped the skills at ironing if you've to iron buntings (dictionary - rows of small cloth or paper flags and other decorations, hung across streets and on buildings on special occasions) which are curved. Those curvy, long pieces of cloth have to be flushed of equal length at each section and must be able to sit there prettily on all occassions. 3 people are required to hold up one such bunting. Trust me, I think we're experts at this. We did it for 4-5 hours each day, for 4 consecutive days.

#3
Furniture-moving
We've seen everything. Extendable ladders, non-extendable ladders, buntings, pails, rolls of red carpet... all the fuckshit you can think of, we've moved them. Our biggest achievement so far is moving the rotating table, which is a monstrous contraption containing 3 parts. The biggest one requires no less than 10 men to transport around. Heavy and complicated to assemble, I think we're lucky that it's still in one piece. What the hell, I mean 3.

#2
Double-sided tape removal
Don't worry if you've got doube sided tape stuck on anything. The reason is because we remove them from everything! If it's stuck on the floor, we'll use terpentine, brushes, mops and jacknives. If it's stuck onto buntings, we'll use our thumbs and nails to dig and roll them out. Apparently, people use double sided tape like it's FREE. Therefore we do charge for extra hours on duty though.

#1
Doing nothing.
Waiting around with plenty of time to spare, we specialise in stoning, reading books, magazines and newspapers , playing chinese chess and sleeping. Just throw us in one corner and you can pretend we don't even exist!
