Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

 

The nozzle we worked on the other day!

For those who aren't familiar with the term "nozzle."

This is the person. This is the job known as "Nozleman."

The "Nozzle Man" among slope engineers.

He's called "Nozzle Man" because he has a nozzle at the tip that dispenses mortar and other materials.

There's something that looks like a nozzle at the tip of my hand.

From there, we'll remove the mortar and concrete.

 

I did that the other day. Come to think of it, it had been 18 years since I last played Nozzle Man.

Man, this is seriously tough!

Because I don't usually do that.

And my shoulders turned bright red lol. There was no way my arm strength could match someone who does this regularly, so I just kept it on my shoulders the whole time.

And I'm pretty battered up—I'm so embarrassed...

 

Professionals really are amazing! We call ourselves “slope contractors,” but it’s all thanks to the people who actually do the work!

Thanks to these people, Japan's slopes are being preserved.

I really think civil engineering workers deserve more respect.

The old image was just too bad...

 

I really hate it when people call me "Dokata," "Dokachin," or things like that. I mean, I really do.

I just think, “You say that, but you couldn’t do it yourself, could you?”

Since it's a dirty and dangerous job, the pay has been going up and up lately, right? (Though the labor shortage has something to do with it, lol.)

People like Hijikata and Dokachin look down on us even though they can't even imitate us.

That said, it's hard to convince people, so whatever.

 

The other day, I spent the whole day playing Nozzle Man and was thinking about that kind of thing lol

The future of civil engineering looks bright!

We're going to build a bright future for civil engineering!

 

With that in mind, I'll do my best again today!

 

See you later.
