Thursday

Tired and blah for about 95% of the entire day. It was nice this morning, almost cool, but just now I had to turn on the AC in my car coming back from the store. It's 89 degrees at the moment (31.7 Celsius).

Saw a small woodpecker, a Downy or Hairy, at the birdfeeder this afternoon. :-)

Hey, I had another day working at the mine site. At least we were supposed to be working. They were adamant that this project had to be finished TODAY!! but then after an hour they just... took off. And didn't come back until late afternoon. So I spent five hours, count them, five hours just sitting on my rear wishing I'd brought a Sudoku book.

You know what the thing about that is, though? In other places this results from people being lazy, not doing there work. Here it's from people having too much work to do. These guys* took off because they were needed on half a dozen other jobs. We can't say screw 'em and hire another company because that other company would also have too much work to do and the same thing would happen. There just aren't enough workers to go around.
