Remember that dating metaphor from last post?
We’re now in that comfortable phase where you start showing your real self – complete with wrong turns and restricted area violations.
Today’s Greatest Hits
- Finally found an alarm that doesn’t sound like a dystopian warning signal, waking up in peace.
- Like a DJ getting into their groove, dropped layers of clothing as the day heated up. Turns out construction workers are like onions – we have layers.
- Snuck in some quality page-turning before the shift.
- Some dude went full Gordon Ramsay on me for wandering into a restricted area. But hey, like water off a duck’s back BECAUSE NOTHING IS PERSONAL. Shit, it was only 7 am.
- My cart setup is now giving Marie Kondo vibes. Everything has a place, and every place brings joy (or at least prevents cursing).
- Parking game? Still strong. Found my spot faster than a journeyman finds reasons to tell apprentice stories.
- No afternoon crash and felt good during my workout (both in the AM / PM)
Today’s “Learning Opportunities” (Because We Don’t Say Mistakes)
- Played an impromptu game of “Where the Hell Am I?” for about 5 minutes. The building won.
- Did the electrical equivalent of skipping leg day by avoided the complicated outlets. Tomorrow’s me is already giving today’s me side-eye. (But I’m gonna do the same thing tomorrow because this is the 80% of the work that takes up the most time)
Knowledge Bombs That Dropped
- Found where they hide all the good stuff – keys and supplies.
Tomorrow’s Game Plan
- Breaking out the headphones because well, I’m doing this work Han-Solo
- Hand sanitizer order incoming because… well, you know why. Porta-potty veterans understand.
- Cranking that alarm up one more notch because my alarm played for two minutes before I got nudged awake.
