I had to work my first Saturday today, and the weather was beautiful for working outside. At times dark clouds covered most of the sky, at times the sun shown through in rays, and at other times it illuminated the tops of the clouds from the back side. A mildly strong breeze kept the temperature brisk, and after far too many October days with high temperatures in the 80s, autumn arrived. Soon it will be time to dig out my wool sweaters--an event I look forward to because I associate cold-weather clothing with mugs of hot chocolate, coffee, or spiced cider shared around campfires or with good friends and family. Autumn is the best season of the year!
I spent about six hours out beside the interstate, doing inspection work. I feel sort of like I'm being lazy when I'm doing my job, because I am there to watch the work as its done, to make sure all the safety regulations and the project specifications are followed, to keep track of the quantity of each pay item installed, and deal with any problems that come up during the construction. Its an important job as far as making sure everything is being done correctly so that the client receives what they're paying for, but it still feels like I'm sort-of lazy when all the other folks are doing physical work and I'm standing there watching, measuring, and writing stuff in my project diary. I guess there's a time for everything.
