Out here on Mandia Road, the industrial area is always moving. Our store is right in the middle of it. We keep a lot of different machinery in stock. It is heavy stuff, so we have a small hoist to move things around. The floor is always a bit dusty because of the trucks passing by outside. We have stacks of engines and pumps and various equipment used in local factories. It is a bit of a maze inside with all the crates. We don't have any fancy lighting. Just the basic tubes on the ceiling. People come in with grease on their hands looking for a replacement part or a whole new machine. We talk about the specs and the sizes. There is a small desk where we do the billing, usually covered in papers and catalogs. The tea man comes around in the morning, which is when most of the planning happens. We've been in this spot for a good while now. It is not a quiet place. There is always the sound of someone loading a truck or testing a motor. We just handle the day-to-day tasks. When the rainy season comes, we have to make sure the roof doesn't leak on the equipment. It is just regular work for us. No one wears a suit here. We just wear what is comfortable for moving heavy metal around all day.
