Well, here it is Thursday already or for some of you finally. One more day and, not all of us, but most of us get our well deserved days off. Things at work have been going as well as they can be,
the piece of water main that we have been working on has been quite interesting to say the least.
It is hard to explain the complexity of it, yet how fun it is to work on this piece of work.
I got a nice compliment from the head of the water district for Burien yesterday. The inspector we have
has made the comment a few time to Mark (my foreman), that "your ace pipe fitter will figure it out"
referring to me and my ability to make it work and look good. When you have to bolt up alot
of bends and angles, it gets really complex since nothing is flexible and everything has to be restrained
due to the amount of pressure flowing throw the pipes.
Anyway yesterday the inspectors boss, who is the head of the City of Buriens Water District so what,
I had configured to get through a difficult tied spot and between a couple of storm lines under some electrical
and around to corners to get to the existing main. He came up to me and said ...
"you are a real artist, the way you put that together. You make it look real nice...a masterpiece."
Made me feel pretty good, since no one else seems to really try or their ideas don't really fly well. Just
let me do it and the shit will get done and look good.
Just had to let everyone know that I finally got a nice compliment from someone...that recognized my abilities and appreciated them. And also understood the complexity of what I had just put together and that it look that good.

It's so great to hear that you are appreciated by the people who count! It's hard not to want everyone to like you and appreciate you, but it's really only important that those people who you look up to and admire think well of you. It also takes a good person to compliment another-not many people will do that!
Congratulations!
John and I went out for a "walk" yesterday, went to the library, bank and pastry shop-the weather was very nice-and I'm glad we did it!
Hope the rest of your week goes well.Love you, connie
