Waste of time

Last week, I was excited because I was helping set-up my work area.  It was solely up to me how to lay everything out.  I asked for suggestions from my superiors and they basically told me to do my best... Well thanks guys!  They got here and in a matter of about 3 hours changed practically everything that I did.  Basically made me feel worthless.  So, needless to say, I was upset this morning.  All of the guys that I was helping set-up were angry because we put 3 full 12 hour days in to get stuff the way we wanted it.  Then we had to go back and change it.

Not only did they change everything, but they basically wouldn't listen to my argument of why I set it up the way that I did.  I take that back, they listened but they didn't hear it.  Since it wasn't their way, it wasn't the right way!  Dammit!  I love being the lowest ranking!

Later in the day I was reminded of something my Mother told me a long time ago.  She said, "Marshall, you never meet a stranger."  At the time I didn't understand it, but now I do.  I saw a guy throwing out some 2 X 4 lumber,  I went over and talked to him and he said that we could have it, and that he had a bunch more if we came and picked it up.  We went and got a good amount of lumber along with a stool and a set of golf clubs.  He also said to check back anytime we needed anything.

That last portion, brightened my day!  Turned my day around quickly.

Yesterday, my entire body hurt.  Almost like I was getting the flu.  I went to bed early and when I woke up, I felt great.  However early morning my stomach started getting a weird pain.  I don't know what is was or why it hurt.  It is now bedtime and it still occasionally hurts.  I thought maybe I was full, maybe I was hungry, maybe I had to go to the bathroom... None of those made me feel any better.  I also didn't have much of an appetite yesterday or today.  let's hope that Im not sick!

That is all from here, have a wonderful day and night!

Sorry your plan wasn't what they wanted... I am sure that was frustrating! Great job getting some free wood - now what are you going to do with it? I hope you're not getting sick too... make sure you drink a lot of extra water - just to make sure you're super hydrated!
