I'm still out there watching those laborers dig trenches around an office complex. It's actually become a little more interesting with time, because as I started to get into the inner workings of things, I became more involved in the project, and that's more fun.

We have been encasing these conduits in concrete, so if anyone decides to go digging in the future, they'll hit the concrete before destroying the precious lifeblood of the company. Today, a salesman accompanied one of the concrete trucks with a superplasticizer additive for the concrete. For those of you that don't know, a superplasticizer makes the concrete flow, almost like water, and then causes it to set up quickly. This would have been great, except when they poured the stuff it flowed down the trench, much farther than it was supposed to have gone. And since the stuff wasn't as thick, the conduits floated up in the concrete and came to the top. The contractor was PISSED. I think they ended up getting that load for free.

I'm eating dinner while I type. I made Salisbury steaks, with potatoes and veggies. Very tasty.

More on my job: when I started out I was freezing my ass off in early April weather. Now, I'm baking my brains out, now that it's getting to be a typical hazyhot&humid summer. Not that I'm not enjoying all the overtime, but I really need a break from this schedule. I made my boss fill in for me two Saturdays back, but other than that, I haven't had a Saturday to myself in almost a month and a half. I think this is my last Saturday out there.
