Professional Gopher

When I was in high school I played soccer and always as either midfield or forward (the positions most likely to be the ones to score), but there was one game where the coach put me back on defense for the second half since a couple of the girls had gotten hurt. Let me tell you what, I threw a fit because why play if you weren’t the one that actually got to score? Looking back at that night I’m still embarrassed by the way I acted (can I just blame it on the fact that I was fifteen?), but it also happens to be one of the best lessons I’ve ever learned. Just because the girls playing defense never were the ones to score didn’t make them or their roles any less valuable to the team. The same goes for the real world, too, I’ve learned.

Fast forward a few years to my first summer break of college coming back home to work for my dad on the family farm. It was the first time I’d been out of school early enough in the year to actually be able to help with planting, and I was given the job of gopher. Basically, all I did all day (and sometimes all night) long was take bags of corn to one field and load the corn planter and then turn right around and run to load the bean planter. It was exhausting, especially because we hadn’t switched to boxes of seed yet and were still using all bags. But whenever I would have a moment where I felt like my being there was pointless, I remembered that soccer game. Just because I wasn’t the one in the tractor actually doing the planting didn’t make my job any less valuable. Without someone there to run seed around like a chicken with its head cut off, the planters would’ve had to stop and sit until someone was able to get it done.

It’s easy to feel like you bring nothing to the table when you’re the one running to get parts, picking up food, hauling anhydrous tanks, going through the entire year’s receipts to get things ready for tax season, etc. However, without someone to go get that part, the combine sits. Without someone to deliver food, the guys go hungry, and no one likes a hangry farmer. Without someone to haul tanks, the tractor stops. And without someone to file things for the accountant, well, I don’t actually know what happens there, but I’m sure it’s not great.

Being a professional gopher isn’t the most glamorous or fun job in the world sometimes, but someone’s got to do it and we might as well do it with pride. Besides, the one who runs to town to get parts also gets to stop at the local Tasty Freeze and grab a milkshake before heading back to the farm so there are some definite perks to the job.

  • Hi everyone I am Emily Naomi wanna give a big thanks to this wonderful psychic for bringing my husband back to me… I never really believed in magic spells or anything spiritual but a trusted friend opened my eyes to the truth about life. My marriage was heading to divorce a few months ago. I was so confused and devastated with no clue or help on how to prevent it, till I was introduced to this psychic Priest Ray that did a love spell and broke every spiritual distraction from my marriage. A day later my husband started showing me love and care even better than it used to be, he’s ready to talk things through and find ways for us to stay happy. It’s such a miracle that my marriage can be saved so quickly without stress. You can also contact him for help by email psychicspellshrine@usako.net or WhatsApp: +12133525735 and you can also visit his website: https://psychicspellshrine.wixsite.com/my-site
