Time would just drag and drag for me doing that. I'm high energy. Can't stand around, and won't sit down.

Project manager for a construction materials testing company. Spring/summer/fall/last winter = busy. This winter = dead stop.

Ok, so you have other employees who are pretty much laid off? Or is it just you by yourself?

Yeah, we have people at home right now. It is really hard on them because we don't officially lay them off because if a job site decides to work and needs a technician we need someone ready to go...if there is no job site working, they sit at home and burn through vacation/personal hours.

That stinks. When it warms up some, does that mean more work?

Oh yeah, we have a lot of jobs on the books but they just aren't working right now.

Basically, if you don't pour concrete, we aren't there to test it. You pour concrete/dig footers/backfill...we're there

 

[SEIndSAM]

Yay!!!! My work laptop finally showed up. I can actually get something productive accomplished tomorrow!!!

"Bout time, you've been slacking a bit lately. You was always on the go.
