So how did the flowers work out?

 

[RIP - VTEnviro]

Free pizza in about half an hour from now! And I get to pick it up, which means I ain't working.

I called home and she thanked me for the beautiful flowers and the romantic note. I expect some serious smoochin' when I get home!!!

Looks like you got some more :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs: to add to your Friday! You have now reminded me that Mrs. Buff hasn't gotten flowers since V-day. I usually bring her some when the last batch that I got her die. The ones from V-day are still kicking around, but the missus can never have enough flowers. Plus, I'm in a GREAT mood today. So Mrs. Buff will get the residual from my good feelings.

Its the Friday before I leave for a week in New Orleans [vacation, not business].

:multiplespotting:

I'm working on project budgets all day today. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I was hoping I was going to get out of here early today because I've already worked 50 hours this week (which I can't bill OT for because it's on an overhead number and isn't billable) but if I don't finish the budgeting work then I can't get a billable project number. Sort of a Catch 22.

I know how that goes, it sucks having to work OT and not get paid for it!

Today is pretty good:

1) Went on the site visit today to see the finished construction of the nightmare design project from hell. Client PM of course pointed out the bad things we did, but in general said the good definitely outweighed the bad. :thumbs: Makes me realize what a difference it makes to have an awesome contractor!

2) About to leave work to go drink some beers and watch my Beavs play baseball here in PDX. :beerchug:

3) Its Friday!

On the other hand, I have to work tomorrow . . .

Today wasn't bad, until I went for my tattoo sitting. 4 hours on my left ribs, and I'm completely exhausted from the ordeal. It looked a LOT smaller on paper. This thing is the size of a medium billboard.

 

[SSmith]

It could be worse. Work has been on my mind all weekend. So I decided to get up early to go tackle it first thing this morning.

Having a hard time putting myself in drive this morning though...

 

[maryannette]

Does that mean YOU imposed these regulations???

Another "TEAM" member imposed the regulations. This week should be interesting. :sharkattack:

Bigger tattoos that you can see are much better than smaller ones you cant.

I had a date that went well on Friday, I got some major cleaning projects done on my house so I can put it on the market this week, and my team got the #1 seed in the NCAA Tourney. I had a damn good weekend. Today, we have a lunch/party at work because we were selected as one of the best places to work in the state, and I have a ton of work to do. So it's shaping up to be a good week too.

 

[TouchDown]

Similar here wilheldp... My high school bb team is in the final 4 in the state tourney, my college team won their conference tournament and ended up with a 3 seed in the NCAA (well above anyone's expectations this year), I came in early to leave early for a meeting at my daughter's school (weather is nice), and my caffeine is kicking in!

Well, you could see it from space if I didn't have my shirt on, but its covered completely with the exception of a bit below my armpit with just a tank top on. While I showed my chest one to the people on these boards, everything I get done has a personal meaning, so as long as I know they're there, that's all that matters to me, and I rarely show them to people. Even excluding the dress code here at work, I cover them up most of the time.

Unless of course, I know the chick I'm hitting on digs tattoos. Then another shirt button gets unbuttoned.

Well the snow has turned a bit slushy in places and icy in others. So even though its in the 40s and clear blue skies, the snowboarding this morning was just okay.

 

[Supe]

We've finally got a clear day, and its back in the 60's.

 

[FLBuff PE]

Yes, I am having a good day. I may have gotten a 10% pay cut yesterday, but it is only temporary (or so I'm told), and I'm still employed. It is 59F outside, with a case of severe clear. And T-minus 3.5 days till vacation! :bananapowerslide:

 

[TouchDown]

Supposed to be near 80 here today. I'm just glad I don't have windows.

 

[Freon]

We've made some serious progress today on the project, Had a big-*** steak for lunch and I am on the first helo off the rig tomorrow.

Congrats, Freon! Enjoy the fruits of your spoils when you arrive home!

Cons:

-My boss has assigned me the task of finding presenters for our conference in April.

-I had to write a project specification based on another specification that was never published, but the construction was fab'd to that spec anyways.

-I'm going to have to give a portion of a presentation to a HUGE client, which is fine. What's not fine, is that the bulk of the presentation will be given by a complete *****, and the site putting him in charge of it was a major mistake.

Pros:

-My boss is out of the office until Friday

-Our Director is moving to another corporate office. It's not so much the fact that he's not breathing down our necks, but he can make a MUCH stronger push to correct our technical problems when facing the opposition face to face.

-Another client has raised concern over the way our welding program was being handled. This will make it even easier for me to push to restructure everything as I've been planning for the past 9 months.

-My proverbial baby, the new weld tracking software I've been developing with a third party vendor, is almost done, and will earn me some major brownie points with the big clients, and with the overseas guys from the process side who are tracking things by scribbling on ISO's.

Pros win it 4:3, so I guess its a good day.
