Going out after work - Part 2

Just as I expected........

I'm going back out so my wife can exchange some of the clothing that didn't fit right.

She thinks I'm stupid, she insisted on going yesterday so she would have an opportunity to return them today since her trip to Atlanta tomorrow would prevent her from performing any exchanges tomorrow.

Going out after work

I took my wife to Old Navy so she can pick up some bum around clothes for her trip to Atlanta.

I hate driving in traffic during rush hour.

Baby Dates

I think we're at 48 weeks today.

Time away

My wife booked a trip to Atlanta for herself and the baby. I'm staying behind, we're going to Niagara Falls next month for a couple of days and we can't afford both trips for the whole family.

My wife is using her saved miles for this trip.

Baby Dates

Today he reaches....er...47 weeks.

We still have yet to finalize any plans for his 1st year birthday party.

Thursday, June 16, 2005

Another is born.

Ok.....I'll admit it...I like the show Hit me Baby One More Time.


All of these bands/folks were around when I was growning up so they have grabbed my attention.

Not for nothing but this week Wang Chung really impressed me. They carried off the Nelly cover effortlessly.

Good Job.!

Baby Dates

11 months old. Next month he'll be 1 year old. We're trying to figure out what we're going to do to celebrate.

Hurdles

My raise has gotten past one of the three bosses. It needs unanimous approval. We'll see.

Monday, June 13, 2005

A surprise at work.

My boss tells me he wants to give me a raise since I"m performing beyond expectations. We'll see

Slow Sunday

We went to the zoo today and had a nice time. We ate a small picneic at the concession stand but our son held out despite thw heat.

Baby Dates

Today our son reaches his 46th week.

Ohh....Kay..

I have 100+ million dollars worth of work. What do I have to do to get people in to give me a price?

Tuesday, June 07, 2005

Oh man...

The problem I'm encountering now is that sub-contractor's don't want to come to the office to estimate jobs.

Tney want me to send them drawings even though I have 20+ projects to buy-out.

This will be a little tougher than I thought.

Monday, June 06, 2005

Yet one more shift.

I am no longer an estimator....I am now focused on buy-outs!!!

At this rate I'll know everything about every aspect of the business.

Birthday party

We went to Prospect Park at for the first birthday of a friend's daughter. We had a great time, we didn't spend a lot of time ther but the kids loved it and they got to spend time in the sprinklers.

It's hard to believe we'll be doing the same thing for our son next month.

Bidding

We had a bid today but it was postponed since we were the only bidders present at the time of the bid opening.

Baby Dates

Today he's 45 weeks.

Standing

Our son is starting to gain his balance when he's standing. It still takes him some time to gather his strength to stand but he does make it to his feet.

He doesn't crawl much but he does seem to want to walk.

JAWS!!

This is the best shot of a shark i've gotten. It doesn't look it but he was behind 4 inches of plexiglass. Lucky for me!

Addendum

I was informed the addendum issued for yesterday's postponed bid consists of a date and time change for the new bid opening.

It looks like the owner is giving another company the opportunity to make the bid opening.

Bible Study

My wife has bible study tonight. My son and I played while we waited. My son is into biting big time now.

I was holding him and watching TV when he took a bit out of me. I looked down and he drew his head back from my arm and I can clearly see my skin pulled taut in his mouth.

I do have to say it hurt big time.

Bidding

Today's bid was postponed since the owner is issuing an addendum that will change the scope of work.

All that rushing we did to get the work seems a bit of a waste since the addendum can scrap portions of it away.

We saw a Manta Ray

You have to look close. It's underneath the shark.

Bidding

We have a bid going in later this afternoon. It looks like a big job, not complicated but time and labor consuming.
