9-5, 10 4s, or &?$*#@!
Boy, things are nuts. Last tuesday, I got a call about 9 AM and I left by noon for the field. It’s really hard when you have to leave on a twelve-day trip and you have less than twelve hours in preparation. I really should have stayed out longer, but I had to get home to pay rent. So, when I venture away from the xanga, don’t take it personal. I can not really do this out in Snake Valley.
The entire state of Utah recently adopted a 4-day work week over the usual 9-5 five-day work week. But I don’t care (yet), because when you work 12 days straight, with at least a 10-hour day every day (I average around 11), these petty numbers the average coworker deals with are laughable.
Down to business. First things first, you know what time of year it is…
This it the 14th year of the picks, so please sign up. There is no money, it’s just for fun and pride. All you have to do is pick the winning teams of NFL games. Like I said, I’ve been at this since 1995, so please sign up and continue this little tradition of mine. All are welcome!

Work is going well, overall. My boss was on vacation last week, and one crew was finishing, so that made things hectic, but it work out OK. The coolest thing I got to do is bring my buddy Andrew out to the site to do some welding.
One member of our crew thought it was too hot to work.
It was so great to see Andrew and Lulu. I’ve been a little down lately, and seeing them helped, though I miss them every day. Hopefully I’ll get to see them soon.
P.S. This show below, Flight of the Conchords, is so good it’s scary. Like Fernando told me, if you do not own it, go out and buy it NOW!!! If you do not like it, I will pay you back.

the conchords are bad-ass … what’s going w/ the natural rock arches in utah? i heard one of the bigger ones collapsed … btw, shirley and honey are going camping in/near bryce this week … any suggestions?

Honesty… I’d tell them to go somewhere else besides Bryce. I guess if they’ve been other places and they’ve always wanted to go to Bryce, then go for it, but I’d pick Zion if it was up to me. It’s closer, with more to do and see. If they go to Bryce, tell them to go on the Queen’s Garden/Navajo loop… that was the best place.
I can’t read your recommended post since my de-friending!
I dig your job (no pun intended). you get to see cool sceneries, and do pretty active stuff; me, i’m a full-time pharmacy student, i see nothing but fine, dark lines…and very soon, wrinkles. i think i need a lulu clone in my life.
