Sunday......

Damn it......I have to work tomorrow! It was a short weekend or should I say...it was a day off. This past week was very crazy and stressful at work. My foreman was gone for the week and so once again the least experienced guy on the crew (me) was in charge. With that stressing me out we had about two weeks worth of work to get done in four days. We got it done, but had to work, some long and gruelling days. Then of course, I got in trouble for working to many hours because they don't like to pay that much overtime. My opinion....to F...ing bad, if you want it done and you tell me it has to get done...it's going done. Even if i have to work the crew 12 or more hours a day....I am going to get it done. If you don't like it don't tell me it has to be done. Just tell me to work 8 or 10 hours a day and get as much as we can.
So as far as all that goes, I spend most of the day today relaxing. I work on figuring out all the time and equipment we used for the past week and looking at plans that I have gotten for the next job we are going to next Monday. One of the guys I have worked with informed me that one of the reasons this company doesn't like to give out to much overtime is probably because there are bonuses for the foreman at the end of the year and percentages for the superintendents after each job is finished. So the more they can have us do in the least amount of time the more money they all make. I don't know it that is the real truth, but if it is....I have now problem working as much as I have to to get the job done. Screw them and their bonuses and percentage checks. If you want it done, I gonna make some money to get it done. Any way that is about it from me for today and tonight.
