standstill
ok life is at a standstill here in Sarasota.
work is fine, the only time it bothers me in when I have nothing to do and I go around asking people if they have anything, but they don't. The longest that has been though is like an hour straight. Then someone will have something for me, which is great, because I love being busy. However, as has been the case.. as soon as someone gives me something, within 15 minutes someone else needs something done.
Thursday, for example, was the bad day.. at noon I couldn't find anything to do.. so I decide to take my lunch. I only took a half hour tho.. it wasn't until almost 1:30.. Seth had a bunch of stuff for me to do.. probably stuff that would keep me busy until the rest of the day.. however, literally 15 minutes later David comes and finds me.. he needs me to run out to Venetian Golf & River Club (a 20 minute drive) to pick up these two binders that I had dropped off the day before to be signed.. and then when I got back he needed copies of these binders (these were heavy 2.5" inch binders that were full) ASAP.. so after I did that I was able to get back to Seth's work.. then it was time to head out later on..
Friday I came in and not even 20 min after doing some more of Seth's stuff, David needed me to take this sheet of numbers (easily 120 some numbers) and make a sketch of the parking lot that they were measured from.. I had to sketch it to scale with the point elevations labeled.. the numbers in the table were actual elevations that were measured from the parking lot.. and I had to transpose/translate them into a sketch at the accurate places..
Ok so AS I'M WALKING from David's office to go start on these sketches (because he needed those done before the morning was up.. then he was going to have me take them to an attorney friend of his), Cynthia stops me and hands me this list of bidders for a pre-bid meeting that had been scheduled for 10am that day.. the meeting was rescheduled for monday at 2:00pm, and faxes with this news had been sent the day before, but she needed to me to call all these people and confirm that they were aware of the change.. and since the original meeting was at 10am (and it was about 8:15am at this time), I needed to call those people right then.
So I call the people, make the sketches for David, and by this time it's almost 10:30. 60 minutes left in the day (we get out at 11:30 on Fridays). I finish up the first set of mini-tasks (I guess you could call them) for Seth and do my timesheet and expense report and get ready to go. I would've done more for Seth, but I finished everything he had discussed with me, and the other stuff had to do with plans I had to review, and he had to give them to me and go over them with me, which he hadn't done (and he wasn't there right then to do that). So as I'm leaving for the day, he comes back, so I go back in and tell him what he needed to know and he was grateful. Had he shown me the plans or expected me to keep working, I would've stayed. But he said that he appreciated it, so I took my opportunity and said my goodbyes.. lol, I wanted to go!
So other than being busy at work (which is great! I hate sitting around), life kinda stands still around here. I get home from work and just chill with the family. I keep trying to get them to go the gym with me (they're the ones that have memberships there), but I can't, and they said they're going to start going.. but even if they don't, I'll go by myself. My dad said I can use his card (there's no picture on it or anything). I'd like to have a little muscle on me when I go back to Gville and perhaps some definition in my stomach, and plus the crowd is not bad to look at. I went once with my folks back over spring break, and there was definitely plenty to look at :-).
Well, that's about it, I'm getting pretty tired. I already had my shower so there shouldn't be much else standing between me and my bed. G'night all :-)
Oh, and btw, I'm going through one of those phases again where I have no idea what I want to do with my life. I got the itch to think more about law school today. My dad's a lawyer and we were talking about law and stuff.. what he majored in, the LSAT, the bar in different states (the bar is the exam you have to be pass before you get your JD), state requirements, law school study groups.. just a whole slew of stuff. So I have no idea what I want to be. That's ok though, I'm not stressing out about it, I'm just happy I'm not 40 and stuck in a dead-end job I hate.
Night night :-)
