Milky Wednesday
It rained most of the day today. We are running out of things to do on this job. We had to wait on some materials and such today, so we had to spend some time milking the clock.
I hate slow days. It takes forever for the time to pass when you have nothing to do, it sucks. I like to just have a ton thrown at me and be running around crazy all day. Days fly by when you're busy.
One of the reasons I don't miss working in the office is that every day is a form of a slow day. Since you never really feel like you accomplish anything, every day is a perpetual stream of finding ways to kill the clock.
The biggest difference between the office and a construction site is that it is much, much easier to get away with standing around talking to waste time in an office. In an office, you can always find ways to "strategize" and "formulate action plans." In some professions, you can even schedule meetings with the agenda being to schedule further meetings in the future; nothing more.
On a construction site, you're always running under the gun and the boss can always tell how productive you're being. You can't tell him you're still working on cleaning up the file, or that you're waiting for the data request to get processed. All he has to do is look and see if you have any work done.

I weighed 175 today.
