Mangwanani aMay 25, 2019, muongorori wekuchengetedza chikafu paCargill nyama inogadzira chirimwa muDodge City, Kansas, akaona zvinoshungurudza. Munzvimbo yeChimneys plant, bhuru reHereford rakapora kubva pakupfurwa pahuma nepfuti. Pamwe haana kumborasa. Chero zvazvingava, izvi hazvifaniri kuitika. Bhuru rakanga rakasungwa kune rimwe gumbo reshure necheni yesimbi ndokurembera negotsi. Akaratidza izvo indasitiri yenyama yeUS inodana "zviratidzo zvekunzwa." Kufema kwake kwainzi “rhythmic”. Maziso ake aive akavhurika achifamba. Akaedza kutwasanuka, zvinova ndizvo zvinowanzoitwa nemhuka dzichitsikitsira musana. Chiratidzo chimwe chete chaasina kuratidza kwaiva “kuimba”.
Mumwe inspector aishandira USDA akarayira vakuru vemombe kuti vamise cheni dzemhepo dzinofamba dzaibatanidza mombe uye “kubaya” mhuka. Asi mumwe wavo paakadhonza pfuti yechibatiso cheruoko, pfuti haina kupfura. Mumwe akauya neimwe pfuti kuti apedze basa. “Mhuka yacho yakabva yakatyamadzwa zvakakwana,” vaongorori vakanyora vachitsanangura chiitiko chacho, vachiona kuti “nguva kubva pakuona unhu hunenge husina kunaka kusvika pakuzorohwa nehana yakanga iri maminitsi maviri kusvika ku3.”
Mazuva matatu mushure mechiitiko ichi, USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service yakapa yambiro nezve "kutadza kwechirimwa kudzivirira kubatwa zvisina hunhu uye kuuraya zvipfuyo," ichitaura nezvenhoroondo yechirimwa ichi. FSIS yakaraira sangano kuti rigadzire hurongwa hwekuita kuti ive nechokwadi chokuti zviitiko zvakafanana hazvizoitike zvakare. Musi wa4 Chikumi, dhipatimendi rakatendera hurongwa hwakaunzwa nemukuru wegwenya uye rakataura mutsamba kwaari kuti raizononoka kuita mutongo wefaindi. Cheni iyi inogona kuramba ichishanda uye mombe dzinosvika 5,800 dzinogona kuurayiwa pazuva.
Ndakatanga kupinda mudura mukupera kwaGumiguru gore rapfuura, mushure mekushanda pachirimwa kweinopfuura mwedzi mina. Kuti ndimuwane, ndakakurumidza kuuya rimwe zuva ndokufamba nenhendeshure ndichitevedza cheni. Zvinoita surreal kuona maurayirwo anoitwa nenhendeshure, uchicherechedza nhanho nhanho zvinotora kudzorera mhou pamwe chete: kupinza nhengo dzayo zvakare mumhango yemuviri wayo; dzosera musoro wake kumutsipa wake; dhonza ganda zvakare mumuviri; inodzosera ropa mutsinga.
Pandakashanyira imba inourayira, ndakaona mahwanda akatsemurwa akarara mutangi resimbi munzvimbo inocherwa matehwe, uye pasi pezvidhinha zvitsvuku pakanga pakazara ropa dzvuku. Pane imwe nguva, mumwe mukadzi akanga akapfeka epuroni yerabha yeyero akanga achicheka nyama kubva mumusoro wakagurwa, usina ganda. USDA inspector aishanda padivi pake aiita zvakada kudaro. Ndakamubvunza zvaaida kucheka. "Lymph nodes," akadaro. Ndakazoziva kuti akanga achiita ongororo yenguva dzose nokuda kwehosha uye utachiona.
Munguva yerwendo rwangu rwekupedzisira kune stack, ndakaedza kuva unobtrusive. Ndakamira nechekuseri kwemadziro ndikaona varume vaviri vakamira pachikuva, vachicheka pahuro pemombe imwe neimwe yaipfuura. Sekuona kwangu, mhuka dzose dzakanga dzafenda, kunyange zvazvo dzimwe dzaikava dzisingadi. Ndakaramba ndakatarisa kusvika supervisor auya ndokundibvunza zvandaiita. Ndakamuudza kuti ndaida kuona kuti chikamu ichi chemuti chakaita sei. “Unofanira kuenda,” akadaro. "Haugone kuuya pano usina mask." Ndakamukumbira ruregerero ndikamuudza kuti ndaizoenda. Ini handingagari kwenguva yakareba zvakadaro. Shift yangu yava kuda kutanga.
Kuwana basa kuCargill zvinoshamisa zviri nyore. Iyo yepamhepo application ye "general production" ine mapeji matanhatu kureba. Iyo nzira yekuzadza haitore kupfuura maminetsi gumi nemashanu. Handina kumbobvira ndakumbirwa kuti nditumire CV, ndoda tsamba yekurudziro. Chikamu chinonyanya kukosha chekunyorera ndeye 14-mubvunzo fomu, iro rinosanganisira zvinotevera:
“Une ruzivo rwokucheka nyama nebanga here (izvi hazvisanganisi kushanda muchitoro chegirosari kana kuti deli)?”
"Makore mangani amakashanda mukurima nyama yemombe (yakadai sekuuraya kana kugadzira, kwete muchitoro chegirosari kana deli)?"
"Makore mangani amakashanda mukugadzira kana kugadzira fekitori (senge mutsetse wekugadzira kana basa rekugadzira)?"
Maawa mana maminitsi makumi maviri mushure mekudzvanya "Tumira" ndakagamuchira email ichisimbisa kubvunzurudza kwangu parunhare zuva raitevera (Chivabvu 19, 2020). Hurukuro yacho yakatora maminitsi matatu. Mukadzi wacho paakandibvunza zita remushandirwi wangu wekupedzisira, ndakamuudza kuti yaiva First Church of Christ, musayendisiti, mubudisi weChristian Science Monitor. Kubva 2014 kusvika 2018 ndaishanda kuObserver. Kwemakore maviri emakore apfuura ndanga ndiri munyori weBeijing weObserver. Ndakasiya basa rangu kuti ndidzidze chiChinese uye ndive mushandi akazvimirira.
Mukadzi wacho akabva abvunza mibvunzo yakawanda pamusoro pokuti ndakaenda rini uye nei. Mubvunzo wakaita kuti ndimbomira painterview waive wekupedzisira.
Panguva imwe cheteyo, mukadzi wacho akati “ndine kodzero yokupiwa basa rinoitwa nemuromo. Akandiudza nezvezvinzvimbo zvitanhatu zviri kuhaiwa nefekitari. Munhu wese akanga ari pashifiti yechipiri, iyo panguva iyoyo yaitangira na15:45 kusvika na12:30 uye kusvika na1 am. Zvitatu zvacho zvinobatanidza kukohwa, chikamu chefekitari inowanzonzi imba yokuurayira, uye zvitatu zvinobatanidza kugadzira, kugadzira nyama kuti igovere kuzvitoro nemaresitorendi.
Ndakakurumidza kusarudza kuwana basa mufekitari. Muchirimo, tembiricha munzvimbo inourayira inogona kusvika madhigirii 100, uye sokutsanangura kwakaita mukadzi ari parunhare, “kunhuhwirira kwakasimba nokuda kwounyoro,” uyezve pane basa racho pacharo, mabasa akaita sekucheka ganda uye “kuchenesa rurimi.” Kana wabudisa rurimi rwako, mukadzi anoti, “Ucharusungirira pachirauro.” Kune rimwe divi, kutsanangura kwake fekitari kunoita kuti iite senge yakaderera uye yakafanana nechitoro chebhucha chakakura muindasitiri. Boka duku revashandi vaiva pamutsetse wegungano rakacheka, kucheka uye kurongedza nyama yose yemombe. Tembiricha mumashopu echirimwa inotangira pa32 kusvika pa36 degrees. Zvisinei, mukadzi wacho akandiudza kuti unoshanda zvakanyanyisa uye “haunzwi chando paunopinda mumba.”
Tiri kutsvaga vacancies. Iyo chuck cap puller yakabva yabviswa nekuti yaida kufamba uye kucheka panguva imwe chete. Iyo sternum inofanira kubviswa inotevera nokuda kwechikonzero chakareruka kuti kubvisa iyo inonzi pectoral finger pakati pemajoini hairatidzike inofadza. Zvose zvinosara ndezvekucheka kwekupedzisira kwe cartridge. Sekureva kwemukadzi, basa iri raive rekucheka zvikamu zvekaturiji, "zvisinei nekuti vaishandira kupi." Zvakaoma sei? Ndofunga. Ndakaudza mukadzi kuti ndichaitora. “Zvakanaka,” akadaro, ndokubva andiudza nezvemuhoro wangu wekutanga ($16,20 paawa) uye zviga zvebasa rangu.
Masvondo mashoma gare gare, mushure mekutarisa kumashure, kuongororwa kwezvinodhaka, uye zvemuviri, ndakagamuchira runhare nemusi wekutanga: Chikumi 8, Muvhuro unotevera. Ndanga ndichigara naamai vangu kubva pakati paKurume nekuda kwedenda re coronavirus, uye ingangoita maawa mana kubva kuTopeka kuenda kuDodge City. Ndakasarudza kuenda neSvondo.
Manheru acho tisati taenda, ini naamai takaenda kumba kwehanzvadzi yangu nemukuwasha kunodya nyama. “Ichi chingava chinhu chokupedzisira chaunacho,” hanzvadzi yangu yakadaro payakafona ndokutikoka kumba kwayo. Mukuwasha wangu akagocha 22-ounce ribeye steaks zvake neni uye 24-ounce tenderloin yaamai nehanzvadzi yangu. Ndakabatsira sisi vangu kugadzirira side dish: mbatatisi dzakagayiwa negreen beans zvakabikwa mubhotoro nebacon grease. Chikafu chakabikwa kumba chemhuri yepakati muKansas.
Iyo steak yakanga yakanaka seyese yandakaedza. Zvakaoma kuzvitsanangura pasina kunzwika seyekutengesa Applebee: charred crust, muto, nyama nyoro. Ndinoedza kudya zvishoma nezvishoma kuti ndigone kunakirwa nekurumwa kwose. Asi pasina nguva ndakatorwa mwoyo nekurukurirano yacho uye, ndisingafungi, ndakapedza kudya kwangu. Munyika ine vanhu vanopfuura kaviri vemombe, anopfuura 5 bhiriyoni mapaundi emombe anogadzirwa gore negore, uye mhuri dzakawanda (kusanganisira yangu nehanzvadzi dzangu nhatu patakanga tiri vaduku) vanozadza mafiriji avo nenyama yemombe gore negore. Zviri nyore kutora nyama yemombe.
Iyo Cargill chirimwa chiri kumucheto kwakadziva kumabvazuva kweDodge Guta, padyo nenzvimbo yakati kurei yekugadzira nyama iri yeNational Beef. Nzvimbo dzese dziri mbiri dziri kumativi akatarisana emamaira maviri emugwagwa une njodzi kumaodzanyemba kwakadziva kumadokero kweKansas. Kune zvigadziriso zvekuchenesa tsvina uye feedlot padyo. Kwemazuva zhizha rapfuura ndairwara nekunhuhwirira kwelactic acid, hydrogen sulfide, tsvina uye rufu. Iko kupisa kunopisa kunongowedzera mamiriro acho ezvinhu.
Nzvimbo Dzakakwirira dzeMaodzanyemba kwakadziva kumadokero kweKansas ndiko kumusha kune zvidyarwa zvina zvakakura zvekugadzira nyama: maviri muDodge City, imwe muLiberty City (National Beef) uye imwe pedyo neGarden City (Tyson Foods). Dodge Guta rakava musha wezvidyarwa zviviri zvekuisa nyama, iyo apt coda kunhoroondo yekutanga yeguta. Yakatangwa muna 1872 neAtchison, Topeka neSanta Fe Railroad, Dodge City pakutanga yaive nzvimbo yevavhimi venyati. Pashure pokunge mapoka emombe aimbofamba muGreat Plains aparadzwa (tisingarevi maNative America akambogara ikoko), guta racho rakatendeukira kukutengeserana kwezvipfuwo.
Hunenge usiku humwe, Dodge City rakava, mumashoko omumwe muzvinabhizimisi akatanhamara womunzvimbomo, “musika mukurusa wemombe munyika.” Yakanga iri nguva yevatongi vemutemo vakaita saWyatt Earp nevanopfura pfuti saDoc Holliday, vakazara nekubhejera, kurwa kwepfuti uye kurwa kwemabhawa. Kutaura kuti Dodge Guta inodada nenhaka yeWild West kungave kushomeka, uye hapana nzvimbo inopemberera izvi, vamwe vangati ngano, nhaka kupfuura iyo Boot Hill Museum. Iyo Boot Hill Museum iri pa500 W. Wyatt Earp Avenue, padyo neGunsmoke Row neGunslinger Wax Museum, uye yakavakirwa pachiyero chakazara cheiyo yaimbozivikanwa Front Street. Vashanyi vanogona kunakidzwa nedoro remidzi paLong Branch Saloon kana kutenga sipo dzakagadzirwa nemaoko uye fudge yakagadzirwa kumba paRath & Co. General Store. Vagari veFord County vanobvumidzwa mahara kumuseum, uye ndakatora mukana kakawanda zhizha rino pandakaenda muimba yekurara imwe pedyo neVFW yeko.
Nekudaro, kunyangwe kukosha kwekunyepedzera kwenhoroondo yeDodge City, nguva yayo yeWild West haina kugara kwenguva refu. Muna 1885, pasi pekudzvinyirirwa kwakawedzera kubva kuvapfumi venzvimbo, Kansas Legislature yakarambidza kupinzwa kwemombe dzeTexas mudunhu, zvichiunza kupera kamwe kamwe kumotokari dzemombe dzeguta. Kwemakore makumi manomwe akatevera, Dodge City yakaramba iri nharaunda yekurima yakanyarara. Zvino, muna 1961, Hyplains Dressed Beef yakavhura nzvimbo yekutanga yekugadzira nyama yeguta (ikozvino inoshandiswa neNational Beef). Muna 1980, imwe kambani yeCargill yakavhura chirimwa padyo. Kugadzirwa kwemombe kuri kudzoka kuDodge City.
Zvidyarwa zvina zvinotakura nyama, zvine vashandi vakasanganiswa vanopfuura zviuru gumi nezviviri nemazana masere ezviuru, vari pakati pevashandirwi vakuru kumaodzanyemba kwakadziva kumadokero kweKansas, uye vese vanovimba nevanobva kune dzimwe nyika kuti vabatsire vashandi mitsara yavo yekugadzira. “Vanotakura zvinhu vanorarama maererano neshoko rokuti, ‘Vakai uye vachauya,’” Donald Stull, nyanzvi yezvemagariro evanhu akadzidza nezvebhizimisi rokuisa nyama kwemakore anopfuura 30, akandiudza. "Ndizvo chaizvo zvakaitika."
Boom yakatanga mukutanga kwe1980s nekusvika kwevapoteri veVietnamese nevatorwa kubva kuMexico neCentral America, Stull akadaro. Mumakore achangopfuura, vapoteri vanobva kuMyanmar, Sudan, Somalia neDemocratic Republic of Congo vakauya kuzoshanda panzvimbo iyi. Nhasi, vangangoita chikamu chimwe muzvitatu chevagari veDodge City vakaberekerwa kunze kwenyika, uye vatatu-vashanu ndivo Hispanic kana Latino. Pandakasvika kufekitori pazuva rangu rekutanga rebasa, mabhena mana akaoneka pamusuwo, akanyorwa neChirungu, Spanish, French neSomalia, achiyambira vashandi kuti vagare pamba kana vaine zviratidzo zveCOVID-19.
Ndakapedza akawanda amazuva angu maviri okutanga pafekitari mukirasi isina mahwindo pedyo neimba yokuurayira navamwe vashandi vatsva vatanhatu. Imba yacho ine beige cinder block madziro uye fluorescent mwenje. Pamadziro pedyo nemusuwo paiva nemaposta maviri, rimwe rechirungu uye rimwe rechiSomali, raiti, “Hunzai vanhu nyama yemombe.” Mumiriri weHR akapedza chikamu chirinani chemazuva maviri ekutarisa nesu, achiita chokwadi chekuti hatina kukanganwa chinangwa. "Cargill isangano repasi rose," akadaro asati atanga mharidzo refu yePowerPoint. “Tinopa nyika kudya zvakanyanya. Ndosaka pakatanga coronavirus, isu hatina kuvhara. Nekuti maive nenzara, handiti?"
Kubva kutanga kwaChikumi, Covid-19 yakamanikidza kuvharwa kwezvinomera makumi matatu zvinotakura nyama muUS uye zvakakonzera kufa kwevashandi vanosvika makumi manomwe nenomwe, sekureva kweMidwest Center for Investigative Reporting. Cargill chirimwa chakashuma nyaya yayo yekutanga muna Kubvumbi 13. Kansas data yehutano hweveruzhinji inoratidza kuti vanopfuura mazana matanhatu evashandi vechirimwa ichi zviuru mazana maviri nemakumi matatu vakabata COVID-19 muna 2020. Vanhu vanosvika vana vakafa.
Muna Kurume, chirimwa ichi chakatanga kuita akateedzana nhanho dzekubvisa magariro, kusanganisira ayo akakurudzirwa neCenters for Disease Control and Prevention uye Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Iyo kambani yakawedzera nguva dzekuzorora, yakaisa plexiglass partitions pamatafura ecafe uye yakaisa makobvu epurasitiki maketeni pakati penzvimbo dzekushanda pamitsetse yayo yekugadzira. Muvhiki rechitatu raNyamavhuvhu, mativi esimbi akaonekwa muzvimbudzi zvevarume, achipa vashandi imwe nzvimbo (uye kuvanzika) pedyo nesimbi isina tsvina.
Chirimwa ichi chakahayawo maExaminetics kuti aedze vashandi vasati vachinja. Mutende chena pamusuwo wechirimwa, boka revashandi vekurapa vakapfeka masiki eN95, machira machena uye magurovhosi vakatarisa tembiricha uye vakapa masiki anoraswa. Thermal imaging makamera akaiswa pachirimwa kuti awedzere kutariswa tembiricha. Kuvhara kumeso kunodiwa. Ini ndinogara ndakapfeka mask inoraswa, asi vamwe vashandi vazhinji vanosarudza kupfeka bhuruu gaiters neInternational Union yeChikafu uye Commerce Workers logo kana mabandana matema ane Cargill logo uye, nekuda kwechimwe chikonzero, #Extraordinary yakadhindwa pazviri.
Utachiona hweCoronavirus handiyo yega njodzi yehutano pachirimwa. Kuiswa kwenyama kunozivikanwa kuve nengozi. Sekureva kweHuman Rights Watch, huwandu hwehurumende hunoratidza kuti kubva muna 2015 kusvika 2018, mushandi wenyama kana huku anorasikirwa nenhengo dzemuviri kana kuiswa muchipatara zuva rega rega. Pazuva rake rekutanga kudzidziswa, mumwe mushandi mutema mutsva kubva kuAlabama akati akatarisana nenjodzi achishanda semutakuri pane imwe nzvimbo iri pedyo yeNational Beef. Akapeta ruoko rwake rwekurudyi, achiburitsa vanga remainch mana kunze kwegokora rake. “Ndakapotsa ndachinja kuva mukaka wechokoreti,” akadaro.
Mumiriri weHR akataura nyaya yakafanana nezvemurume ane ruoko rwakanamira pabhandi rekutakura. “Akarasikirwa noruoko paakauya pano,” akadaro, achinongedzera hafu yebhipi rake rokuruboshwe. Akambofunga kwekanguva ndokubva aenda kune inotevera PowerPoint siraidhi: "Iyi inyaya yakanaka yemhirizhonga yepabasa." Akatanga kutsanangura Cargill's zero-tolerance policy papfuti.
Kweawa inotevera nemaminetsi gumi nemashanu, tichatarisa pamari uye kuti mibatanidzwa ingatibatsira sei kuita mari yakawanda. Vakuru vemubatanidzwa vakatiudza iyo UFCW yemuno nguva pfupi yadarika yakataurirana kukwidziridzwa kwemadhora maviri kune vese vashandi veawa. Akatsanangura kuti nekuda kwemhedzisiro yedenda, vashandi vese veawa vanozowanawo imwe "yekutarisirwa muhoro" wemadhora matanhatu paawa kutanga mukupera kwaNyamavhuvhu. Izvi zvaizoguma nemuhoro wekutanga we $24.20. Zuva rakatevera racho pakudya kwamasikati, mumwe murume wokuAlabama akandiudza kuti aida zvikuru sei kushanda ovhataimu. "Ndiri kushanda pachikwereti changu izvozvi," akadaro. “Taishanda nesimba zvokuti taisatombowana nguva yekushandisa mari yacho yose.”
Pazuva rangu rechitatu paCargill chirimwa, huwandu hwenyaya dzekoronavirus muUnited States dzakapfuura mamirioni maviri. Asi chirimwa chakatanga kupora kubva mukutanga kwechirimo. (Kugadzirwa pachirimwa kwakawira pamusoro pe50% mukutanga kwaMay, maererano nemashoko kubva kuCargill's state state relationship director kuKansas Secretary of Agriculture, iyo yandakazowana kuburikidza nechikumbiro chezvinyorwa zvevanhu.) Murume ane utsinye anotarisira chirimwa . yechipiri shift. Ane ndebvu chena dzakakora, ari kupotsa chigunwe chake chekurudyi, uye anotaura achifara. “Iri kungorova madziro,” ndakanzwa achiudza mushandi wekondirakiti aigadzira air conditioner yakanga yapwanyika. “Svondo rapfuura takava nevashanyi 4 000 pazuva.

Pafekitari, mombe dzose idzodzi dzinogadziriswa mukamuri hombe rakazadzwa nemacheni esimbi, mabhandi epurasitiki akaomarara ekutakura, mavacuum sealer akakura muindasitiri uye mirwi yemabhokisi ekutumira makadhibhodi. Asi kutanga kunouya mukamuri inotonhora, umo nyama yemombe inorembera parutivi rwayo kweavhareji yamaawa 36 pashure pokunge yabva kwaurayirwa. Padzinouyiswa kunourayiwa, mativi acho anoparadzaniswa kuva kumberi nokuseri uye ipapo kuchekwa kuita zvidimbu zviduku, zvenyama zvinotengeswa. Iwo vacuum yakarongedzwa uye inoiswa mumabhokisi kuti igovere. Munguva dzisiri dzedenda, avhareji yemabhokisi makumi mana ezviuru anosiya chirimwa zuva nezuva, rimwe nerimwe richirema pakati pegumi kusvika makumi mapfumbamwe mapaundi. McDonald's naTaco Bell, Walmart naKroger vese vanotenga nyama yemombe kubva kuCargill. Kambani iyi inoshandisa zvirimwa zvitanhatu zvekugadzira nyama yemombe muUnited States; chikuru chiri muDodge City.
Nheyo yakakosha yeindasitiri yekurongedza nyama ndeye "cheni haimbomira." Iyo kambani inoita zvese kuedza kuchengetedza mitsetse yayo yekugadzira ichimhanya nekukurumidza sezvinobvira. Asi kunonoka kunoitika. Zvinetso zveMechanical ndizvo zvinonyanya kukonzera; Zvishoma zvakajairika kuvharwa kwakatangwa nevanoongorora USDA nekuda kwekufungidzirwa kusvibiswa kana "kushungurudzwa kwevanhu" zviitiko, sezvakaitika paCargill chirimwa makore maviri apfuura. Vashandi vega vanobatsira kuchengetedza mutsara wekugadzira uchimhanya ne "kudhonza nhamba," izwi reindasitiri rekuita chikamu chavo chebasa.

Kana zvinhu zvikasadzoreka, foromani anodanwa semuyananisi.
Vashandi vatsva vanopihwa mazuva makumi mana nemashanu ekuyedzwa kuratidza kuti vanogona kuita izvo Cargill zvinomera zvinodaidzira "hunyanzvi" basa. Munguva iyi, munhu mumwe nomumwe anotungamirirwa nemudzidzisi. Mudzidzisi wangu aiva nemakore 30, angori muduku kwandiri nemwedzi mishomanana, aine maziso anonyemwerera nemapendekete akafara. Inhengo yedzinza diki reKaren riri kutambudzwa muMyanmar. Zita rake Karen aive Par Tau, asi mushure mekuva mugari weUS muna 2019, akachinja zita rake kuita Bhiriyoni.

Pane imwe nguva ndakamubvunza kuti vangani vanhu vakatapukirwa panguva yeCOVID-19 kubuda muchirimo. “Hongu, zvakawanda,” akadaro. "Ndakaigamuchira mavhiki mashoma apfuura."
bhiriyoni akati anogona kunge akabata hutachiona kubva kune munhu waakakwira naye mumota. bhiriyoni akamanikidzwa kugara oga pamba kwemavhiki maviri, achiedza nepaaigona napo kuti azviparadzanise naShane naDahlia, avo vaive nepamuviri nemwedzi misere panguva iyoyo. Airara mukamuri yepasi uye aisawanzokwira kumusoro. Asi muvhiki yechipiri yekuvharirwa, Dalia akatanga kupisa muviri uye kukosora. Mazuva mashomanana gare gare akatanga kuva nezvinetso zvekufema. Ivan akamuendesa kuchipatara, akamuisa muchipatara ndokumubatanidza neokisijeni. Mazuva matatu gare gare, vanachiremba vakakurudzira kushanda. Musi waMay 23, akabereka mukomana ane utano. Vakamuti "Smart".
Bhiriyoni rakandiudza zvose izvi pamberi pekuzorora kwemasikati kwemaminiti 30, uye ndakasvika pakuzvikoshesa zvose, pamwe chete nekuzorora kwemaminiti 15 pamberi pazvo. Ndakashanda mufekitari kwevhiki nhatu, uye maoko angu aiwanzorova. Pandakamuka mangwanani, zvigunwe zvanga zvaoma uye kuzvimba zvekuti ndakatadza kuzvikotamisa. Kazhinji kazhinji ndinotora mapiritsi maviri eibuprofen ndisati ndashanda. Kana kurwadziwa kukaramba kuchienderera, ndichatora mamwe madosi maviri panguva yekuzorora. Ndakaona iyi iri mhinduro yakanaka. Kune vazhinji vandinoshanda navo, oxycodone uye hydrocodone ndiyo mishonga yemarwadzo yesarudzo. (Mutauriri weCargill akati kambani "haizive chero maitiro ekushandiswa zvisiri pamutemo kwemishonga miviri iyi munzvimbo dzayo.")
Kuchinja kwakajairika zhizha rapfuura: Ndakapinda mufekitori yekupaka mota na3:20 pm Zvinoenderana nechiratidzo cheBhangi reDijitari ndakapfuura munzira pano, kunze kwaitonhora 98 degrees. Mota yangu, 2008 Kia Spectra ine 180,000 mamaira pairi, yakave nekukuvadzwa kukuru kwechimvuramabwe uye mahwindo aive pasi nekuda kwekutyoka kweair conditioner. Izvi zvinoreva kuti kana mhepo ichivhuvhuta kubva kumaodzanyemba kwakadziva kumabvazuva, dzimwe nguva ndinogona kunhuwa chirimwa ndisati ndambochiona.
Ndakanga ndakapfeka T-shirt yekare yedonje, jini raLevi, masokisi emvere dzemakwai, uye bhutsu dzesimbi dzeTimberland dzandakatenga muchitoro cheshangu dzemuno ne15% kubva neCargill ID yangu.

Mumatanga maiva nemazana emombe dzakanga dzakamirira kubayiwa. Kuvaona vari vapenyu kunoita kuti basa rangu riome, asi ndinovatarisa zvakadaro. Vamwe vakanetsana nevavakidzani. Vamwe vakakwenya mitsipa yavo kunge vari kuona zviri mberi.
Pandakapinda mutende remishonga kuti nditariswe utano, mombe dzakabva dzanyangarika. Pakasvika nguva yangu, mumwe mukadzi aiva nezvombo akandidana. Akaisa thermometer pahuma yangu, akanditambidza mask ndokubvunza nhevedzano yemibvunzo yenguva dzose. Paakandiudza kuti ndakasununguka kuenda, ndakapfeka mask yangu, ndikabuda mutende ndikafamba nemuma turnstiles necanopy yekuchengetedza. Iyo inouraya pasi iri kuruboshwe; fekitari yakananga mberi, yakatarisana nefekitari. Ndiri munzira, ndakapfuura makumi evashandi vekutanga vachisiya basa. Vairatidza kuneta nekusuwa vachitenda kuti zuva rakanga rapfuura.
Ndakambomira zvishoma mucafeteria kuti nditore maviri ibuprofen. Ndakapfeka bhachi rangu ndokuisa lunch box yangu pasherufu yemapuranga. Ndakabva ndafamba mucorridor refu yaienda kwaigadzirwa floor. Ndakaisa zvivhariso zvefoam munzeve ndokupinda nepamagonhi maviri aitenderera. Uriri hwakanga hwakazara noruzha rwemichina yeindasitiri. Kudzikamisa ruzha uye kudzivirira kufinhwa, vashandi vanogona kushandisa madhora makumi mana nemashanu pamateya akatenderwa nekambani e3M anomisa ruzha, kunyange hazvo kubvumirana kuri pakuti haana kukwana kuvharira ruzha uye kuti vanhu vasateerere mimhanzi. (Vashomanana vakaita sevanetswa nekuwedzera kuvhiringidzwa kwekuteerera mimhanzi paunenge uchiita basa rinenge rine ngozi.) Imwe nzira yaiva yekutenga ma-headphones asina kubvumirwa eBluetooth andaigona kuvanza pasi pemutsipa wangu gaiter. Ndinoziva vanhu vashoma vanoita izvi uye havasati vambobatwa, asi ndakasarudza kusatora njodzi. Ndakabatirira pazvivhariso zvenzeve uye ndaipiwa matsva Muvhuro woga woga.
Kuti ndisvike pachiteshi changu chebasa, ndakakwira nomukoto ndokudzika nemasitepisi aienda kubhandi rinotakura zvinhu. Iyo conveyor ndeimwe yemakumi gumi nemaviri anomhanya mumitsara mirefu yakaenderana pasi nepakati pepasi rekugadzira. Mutsara wega wega unonzi "tafura", uye tafura imwe neimwe ine nhamba. Ndakashanda patafura nhamba yechipiri: iyo cartridge table. Kune matafura e shanks, brisket, tenderloin, round and more. Matafura ndiyo imwe yenzvimbo dzine vanhu vakawanda mufekitari. Ndakagara patafura yechipiri, isingasviki mafiti maviri kubva patsvimbo kumativi ose angu. Maketeni epurasitiki anofanirwa kubatsira kutsiva kushomeka kwekushamwaridzana, asi vazhinji vandinoshanda navo vari kumhanyisa maketeni kumusoro nekutenderedza simbi dzesimbi dzavanorembera. Izvi zvakaita kuti zvive nyore kuona zvaizotevera, uye pasina nguva ndakanga ndava kuita zvimwe chetezvo. (Cargill anoramba kuti vashandi vazhinji vanovhura maketeni.)
Na3:42, ndinobata ID yangu kusvika pawachi pedyo nedhesiki rangu. Vashandi vane maminitsi mashanu kuti vasvike: kubva 3:40 kusvika 3:45. Chero kupi zvako kunonoka kunosvika kuchaita kuti kurasikirwa kwehafu yezvikamu zvekupinda (kurasikirwa ne12 points munguva ye12 mwedzi kunogona kukonzera kudzingwa). Ndakafamba ndichienda paconveyor belt kuti nditore gear yangu. Ndinopfeka kubasa kwangu. Ndakarodza banga ndokutambanudza maoko angu. Vamwe vandaishanda navo vakandirova nezvibhakera pavaipfuura. Ndakatarisa mhiri kwetafura ndikaona vaviri vokuMexico vakamira pedyo nomumwe nomumwe, vachiyambuka. Vanoita izvi pakutanga kwekuchinja kwega kwega.
Nenguva isipi mativi ecollet akatanga kubuda pabhandi rekutakura, iro raifamba kubva kurudyi kuenda kuruboshwe parutivi rwangu rwetafura. Pamberi pangu paiva nemabhonzo manomwe. Basa ravo raive rekubvisa mapfupa munyama. Iri nderimwe remabasa akaomesesa muchirimwa (chikamu chesere ndicho chakaomesesa, nhanho shanu pamusoro pekupedza chuck uye inowedzera madhora matanhatu paawa kumuhoro). Basa racho rinoda zvose zvakanyatsojeka uye simba risina simba: kunyatsocheka kuswedera pedyo nebhonzo sezvinobvira, uye simba rehutsinye kuti ubvise pfupa pasina. Basa rangu nderekucheka mapfupa ese nemarunda asingapindi mubhonzo chuck. Ndizvo chaizvo zvandakaita kwemaawa mapfumbamwe aitevera, ndichingomira kwekuzorora kwemaminetsi gumi nemashanu na6:20 uye kuzorora kwemaminetsi makumi matatu pa9:20. “Hazvina zvakawanda!” supervisor wangu aitopopota kana andibata ndichicheka nyama yakawandisa.
