The eye of the storm

[grumpydasmurf]

3 weeks ago, Monday and Tuesday I didn't have a thing to do. Everything was busy for weeks, 10 hour days, then those two days came and I literally had nothing to do. I made some phone calls stayed longer than usual on job sites then would go home out of boredom.

Wednesday came and a mad rush of phone calls, e-mails and new estimates came in which was pleasing to me. Thursday came and we had horrendous rains from Thursday until Saturday. We still havent caught up from that point.

I realize now we went from busy to nothing to super busy. That two day period of calm we had 3 weeks ago was just the eye of the storm. Calm and peacful.


Now I only have time for things in my personal life that are absolutely necessary. I don't have time to wash my clothes until I run out of clean clothes. I don't have time to wash my dishes until I can no longer find a clean plate or fork. I looked at my condo yesterday and thought to myself how badly I needed to clean.

I just want those two days of sanity back!

I think I'm in the eye of the storm right now.. we are pouring the 1st 100' of wall today on the current project so everybody is real happy and comfortable. But in the coming weeks we are going to have many pours right after one another and it gets very hectic with all the coordination of blockouts, embeds, piping, etc that penetrates the walls. But that's the fun part of my job - when it's boring it seems like the day takes forever.
