The only downer is that I have been suffering a cold this week. Wednesday was the day they were bringing a helicopter (chinook) to set a/c units on the roofs of the school I am working on and their safety regs do not allow anyone in the building while this was going on. So, I asked my supervisor if I could just take the whole day off. The tranny on my truck was acting up, I put a rebuilt motor in it last year and I figured, if I am going to be paying money for a long time, I might as well be buying something new.
But, I've been drinking Dayquil like water and hammering through the workday, in spite of the cold conditions, etc. DW made some spicy soup which usually helps. That and freshly ground ginger tea, which really does help one's throat.
ETA:
The other funny thing that happened today. I wa trying to open one of the storage containers that has the electrical panel interiors. Some have a top feed, or primary lugs on top with feed-through on the bottom but I have to know if we're going to punch the right size holes from enclosure to enclosure. Anyway, one lever on the door likes to stick. I need something to bang on it. So, I was ripping a slat off of a wooden pallet and it finally came free, bonking me on the nose. And I bled, too. I tried to dress it up. Told a few people I was mouthing off to an apprentice and got pimp-slapped hard, but, no, it's funnier when you do it to yourself.
