...and sat around for bout an hour

Life is just funny. This week (so far) has been really easy. Since I got my promotion I have been busting my ass at work. But the more I spend time with co-workers, I have discovered how relaxed you can be. Yesterday I got to work at 7:00 and sat in the office for about an hour. Around 8:30, my boss and I went out for coffee. For an hour we talked about nothing and what is going on at one of our buildings. After an hour of that, we went to a building that is going to be under contract in a few months. We got there and sat around for about another hour and talked with some of the people that worked there. One person would be on the phone, another would be talking about someone that recently was insured on a job site* After about an hour and a half of that, we went to lunch. We met up the entire team and talked about nothing and “Brokeback Mountian”. I work with mostly red necks and they had some choice words about the movie. After about an hour we went to another building (site) and watched/supervised two other workers (not with my company) while they worked. And that was my day at work. It was friggin awesome!!! It has been a breath of fresh air not trying so hard. It has given me time to actually relax. And today has gone the same way. I am sitting in an Mechanical room typing this because I am waiting for a room to clear out before I can do some testing on a HVAC system. The occupants are very picky (bitchy) about the temperature of the room. So here’s to having another easy day tomorrow.

*This guy that used to work for my company, no longer does, was working on a roof. It was raining outside and it was cold. And when you are on a roof and its cold, none the less raining, you try and work fast. Well this poor soul stepped on a sky light and went threw. He fell some 15 feet onto a tractor trailer and then on to the concrete. He broke his clavicle and his back, is in coma, and has brain swelling. If it weren’t for the tractor trailer, this guy would have died. Scary the work I do.

So you got the promotion! Awesome! Congratulations. I'm glad you're enjoying your job now -- don't relax TOO much though, they may spring something on you and just expect you to be prepared. I dunno. Anyway, are you coming up to Oxford on Friday night? Me and Peggy are going up.

Ugh! So have they got you working your regular schedule again or what?

Also. Dude. Does anyone at work know about your blog? Because if so, well, it may be touchy to talk about workstuff so candidly on here. Maybe even if no one knows. I wouldn't want you to get in trouble.
