Nov. 30th, 2006 06:25 am6:00 - Today's forecast:
Low of 25º, wind gusts up to 45 mph, with freezing rain.
This day is gonna suck. I'm not getting out of my truck for nothing! I can inspect through a windshield. Screw getting pnuemonia!
17:00 - Post-script:
Hardly any of the contractors showed up today, due to the weather. It was curious; yesterday it was in the 80s and I was getting burns on my hands from handling 300º asphalt, today I watched the rain freeze on everything it touched and was wearing gloves. After about five hours of that crap, I excused myself and returned to the office, to get a headstart on some paperwork.
As physically unpleasant as today was, tomorrow's gonna be worse. Not weather-wise, but stress-wise. The completion date for this job is Monday and all sorts of deadlines, affidavits, letters, inspections, etc are falling on top of our heads. We're still suffering from the handicap of a six-week delay in construction and now we're out of time and nowhere near finished. Tomorrow's gonna be hellfire as we have to answer for all our shortcomings. And there's gonna be lots of fingerpointing and blame and other shit to go around. Even though I'm just a minor player in this, I'm sure to catch some heat too. *sigh* I think I'll start drinking at breakfast.
