Gawd Damn

I have no social life.

I go to work, I come home, shovel dinner down, take a shower, and then go to sleep. This is how my weeks have been pretty much proceeding. Yeah, yeah, none ya better point out I’m typing an entry right now. I feel behind though. I never get to work on any of my hobbies unless it’s the weekend and that doesn’t even happens. And I’ve been trying to read my dailies… unfortunately, I haven’t been able to do much commenting. ::hugs:: to all of you.

I had to work a regular 9 hour day last saturday. I’ve been doing 13-14 hours days so far this week, with tomorrow looking even longer. I cannot wait until construction season is done. The drill guys are hourly, so their obsessed with logging has much drill time as possible.

I’m salary ::gives all the sour look:: I don’t see any overtime pay until I get my first bonus… and that’s not for at least 4 or 6 more months. I hear they make up for it. But, let’s point out, I hear, I don’t see. I actually wish there was a comp time option. Then I could take more leave during the holidays. That would be more than worth it then.

Anyways, I thought I’d try to explain what I’m doing. We’re drilling. Hahahahaha

And a bore hole is now a bole whore. Because the sun has been frying my brains and by mid afternoon, I become very dislessic (did I even spell that right?).

So, anyways, we’re drilling with a rig that looks like a tow truck rig. It drills the first few feet and we take modified california samples, which are these brass tubes (that come with various radiuses), we take a three foot sample of “undisturbed” soil. Then we take split spoon samples, which is smaller than the modifieds, continuously to about ten feet and then every five feet after. What makes this interesting is that I’m racing to keep up with the drill guys. They move quick, and some of those sample tubes are a BITCH to get a part. Cute helper guy usually gets them started for me, but I swear he skipped doing it a few times to watch me struggled. Not that I minded that much.

He’s taught me quite a few tricks. And unfortunately he’s getting switched out with someone else tomorrow

So… does the above make sense? Or should I find pictures?

I think I’m out of here. I just thought it’d be nice to drop a note.
