During the week, my schedule looks a lot like this:
-Get up around 6:00am.
-Shower, shave, general morning stuff.
-Check mail.
-Out the door to work.
-At work at 7:00-8:00am, depending on how the email thing goes...mainly work e-mail.
-Work until 4:30pm-5pm. If I have to go back to the office after finishing on site, I work until 6-6:30pm.
-Come home, check mail.
-Deal with work mail. Usually finish around 7-8pm.
-Play games, eat dinner, watch a movie...something...until 9:45pm.
-Bed.
Repeat until Friday.
You can see that this ends up being pretty tiring, and not a whole lot of time for me to decompress. I'd like more time to play games, go out to dinner, hang out with friends, whatever...but I just can't seem to muster the energy to do so.
Construction is usually pretty dirty work...and I'm not actually doing the work. Just walking around all day in spaces that are over 85 degrees, in boots and jeans, carrying a heavy pack filled with parts, tools, a submittal (basically the plan for what we're building,) water, pens, clipboard, plans, etc....all through spaces where they're sheetrocking, painting, cutting, welding, whatever...and you get pretty dirty and pretty tired. My feet hurt.
If it seems like I'm complaining, I'm really not. I'm really more explaining why I don't go out more or do more stuff...I just can't muster the energy to do so. I should do my laundry tonight...but I probably won't. I should clean my kitchen...I probably won't. I should clean out more of my closets...but I probably won't. I want to update my site, update this site graphically/layoutwise, design more t-shirts, watch the DVDs I rented from Netflix, go out to dinner. You guessed it...I probably won't.
What I will probably end up doing, is ordering dinner from somewhere, reading the submittal to familiarize myself with two complicated floors that are running late, MAYBE pop in a DVD for a bit, then pass out and attack work tomorrow.
A day in the life, huh?
