Almost got electrocuted today

I grabbed the near end of coil to pull it out when the stripped tip I couldn't see makes contact with the pan and SPARKS! The motherfucker was live!

Almost got electrocuted today

Apprentice is sick with the flu so of course I spent the day screaming at the superintendent that if he makes the kid come in I'm letting the client know and then we're ALL staying home until docs' clear us

I called the foreman on his weekend off which I hate to do because even though he's the boss he's also a union brother, but I had to yell at him about how layoffs went down.

I hate all these behind-the-scenes dealings and I'm alarmed that I'm good at it. I honestly believe I'm acting according to everyone's best interests but there is still the voice in my head that says "Doesn't everybody at first?"

Found out my company's client wants to poach me and make a project manager. Their starting offer is basically what I made last year when I did 6 months of OT?!

Foreman left on vacation so of course I get the call with 1 hours warning that 5 guys are getting laid off. Everyone in management is a coward so I had to tell them

Already got 1 guy on a new job and 2 others decided they're taking a short vacation after all the OT. I'm just pissed off about how disrespectfully the company handled this

Promised my kid we'd walk to the pizza place when I got home, then got a flat tire AND a busted car battery(also got shorted on my paystub). Got home super late but I kept my promise

I brought a crockpot full of chai sweet potatoes to work for the crew and their reaction was universally 1.) What the fuck? and 2.) Oh fuck this shit is good

Be the future OSHA regulation you want to see in the world. Bring a crockpot to a construction site

Been in a depressive episode lately but it's really nice that I have the means to support my child's wildest dreams* *Eating sushi at the grocery store and shouting "Go Birds!" at everyone wearing green

I took her to a punk/goth market yesterday and the two of us danced alone at the silent disco

My kid's "uncle"(my best friend) surprised her on my birthday with an intricately crafted muppet puppet and it definitely - for better or worse - unlocked something in her

Wife asked me what I wanted to do the morning of my birthday and honestly the first thought was take little misschief out for a tea party at an actual tea room

Played hooky from work yesterday and took my kid out for a rainy day at the fair. Was mad about spending $50 on ride passes until I realized no lines meant 4 nonstop hours of carnival rides. Definitely worth getting a little wet, and when it really opened up we got to pet baby bunnies for an hour
