Miller

Millier media type="custom" key="3628903"

Uhhh hey there I am the construction worker. In Chaucer’s //Canterbury Tales// I was the miller. I may not be smart but I am strong and I know how to make money. As the miller I would steal from people as a construction worker I take simple jobs and take awhile to do them so I get more money. My job involves pretty much muscle and no brain, I tend to be the work horse I never get to actually construct I just carry those large cast iron Beams to and fro, on the off occasion that something is jammed they get me to bust it down sometimes it requires more head than body. As a child I was always failing majority of my classes except for gym that was my favorite sport, I was a star in Football, baseball and Lacrosse ALL AT THE SAME TIME!. I hated school but loved the after school activities, I was often picked on due to my large size as a child however I dealt with that problem like I deal with doors I used my head, I was often in the principal’s office for breaking something whether it be a jaw or a window. When I was not at school I was at the gym eating and bench pressing with one hand, some times I often had to get people to sit on the bar so it would be a challenge for one arm. I am going on this trip to gain a little more wisdom and to find a remedy to make me even stronger, my goal in life is to become an orge.
