Crazy summer....

Since I've been away, so much has happened, I don't even know where to begin!

Ok...found a starting place...work! That dreaded 4-letter word that, at times, makes me cringe. I have just about finished working long, grueling days...with the exception of this week, because Dave is on vacation. I don't know if I should laugh or cry! It actually hasn't been that bad, with today being the exception. I worked my tail off yesterday, doing Dave's job as well as mine. Only I never really got to mine too much...so Grimy can't say anything next week! For some odd reason, and I'm sure it's because the weather hasn't been too bad, construction is still booming. This means, we're still in the full swing of things, pretty much. It wound down last week, we actually had a couple days we were scrambling for work, so the crews could work full days, or at the very least 3/4 days. We started this week with a full schedule for Monday, but nothing the rest of the week. Suffice it to say, I've been a very busy little bee. We are now booked out until the end of next week, and I haven't even scheduled all the jobs yet. Tomorrow will prove to be quite challenging...Can I finish all the scheduling, handle the new jobs, catch up on all my paperwork, send out my bills, and make my calls? I'm heading to the bar if I can get it all done!

On another work related issue...Grimy and I have been getting along quite nicely, since he finally stopped being an asshole, and I finally stopped calling him one. I think Dave was right...this might have been our week to bond. I will never admit it though, and neither will Grimy. Which brings me to another point...

Grimy thinks he knows everything about everything. I told him that he was wrong. This prompted a long drawn out discussion about what I knew that he didn't know. In the end, we ended up hopping on the Internet and taking one of those 'free' IQ tests. Yes, I get paid for this shit! So he takes the IQ Test and then I do, and he scores 2 points higher than me. Wow! Well, that's all it took. When will I ever learn?
