yesterday was the most frustrating and kinda useless day at work ever, prolly morso for my dad, but for me too becuase of a series of circumstances I did practically nothing all day except walk around in the hot sun doing nothing, soooo boring and the day took forever.
First off we were starting a new job yesterday, where building this big porch thing for this guy whos opening up a branch of his store in an old abandoned sotre and wants to make one look like the other but yeah. So first we get there, not only is the foundation not backfilled(for those of you who dont know what that means it meant the dirt hasnt been pushed back aroun the foundation so theres a big hole where we should be able to walk) there is also no lumber there, so even though the dude told us we "needed to be there by thursday" he wasnt even ready for us, so we spend the morning cleaning our work trailer and taking down the big neon letters that previously spelt franks nursery and crafts on the building. so we dick around not doing a lot till coffee break, then we finaly get some lumber, what happens? some idiot down the street hit a telephone pole and took out power, we didnt see the accident but we were out of power for hours, so while my dad sent the other two guys working for him on a task that would have taken half the time with power, I sttod around doing absofuckinglutely nothing for 3-4 hours. it was so incedibly boring. Then we figure theres nothing more to do without power so we start to pack up, when were just about to leave, bam power kicks back on and we know cause the generator comes on. at thi point Im frustrated, everyone is, and I dont really want to work but we do till 5:30. bleh.
Then I came home and hung out with JH and ben. It was fun. And i got paid $300 also fun.
