Let the days off begin

Ya just gotta love people that can have some fun in life, especially while working. The contractor's two young sons that do the concrete work were here yesterday. The youngest is just 18 or so, just graduated high school, I think. They were getting ready to pour the front entryway slab and he saw DH had the ipad recording and says "is that on time lapse?".  They are busy doing stuff and DH notices him doing something in very slow motion and is like "what in the heck are you doing?!" He's like you'll see.

Last night DH runs the video, this fast timelapse, where everybody else is moving fast and you see this goofball doing Michael Jackson moves with the crotch grab and all, which looked like it was in real time. OMG! I was dying laughing. DH sent him the video and he was "yes! nailed it" LOL

I only had to work until noon today. Big change at work between the end of today and starting Monday. We are discontinuing repping a big company as of the end of today. Lots of concerned employees who want to make sure our customers are taken care of, with big job orders placed before the termination, but will be followed up on by the mfg. after today. As one of our owners said, it's just a "moment in time" to deal with and we will take care of our customers to our best, as we always have, and everything will work out.

DH came across two old snow sleds for sale on Craigslist, from someone who sounds like they must live pretty near us. I texted and they said they are still available, but they are out of town until the 28th. So, I just said no problem, message me when you get back. When DH saw them online he said he's always wanted one of those old wooden sleds. When I looked it up online this morning and then asked him if he wanted me to message them, he said "nah..." but I said they sure would make a neat Christmas decoration on our future front porch, to which he thought was a great idea.

I don't think I am going to to any Black Friday shopping, even online. The only Christmas gifts I have to do are for DD and her DF and my mom. DH's parents will probably get a gift card, not sure yet, I'm going to have to wait and see if they are out of the rehab care facility or not. We don't really have room to buy ourselves anything, so aren't doing gifts to each other this year. Not to mention everything we will buy for the house, can be like a gift to ourselves.

I think I feel a nap coming on this afternoon. And hoping to feel rested up after these next few days of nothing to do. Hopefully DH won't get too bored, with nothing going on. He gets crabby and thinks too much when he's bored. I was so hoping the roofers will be able to come Friday and get back to work on roofing the back half of the house and that would keep DH occupied for the weekend, but the framers are not done with what they were supposed to be done with, which I'm sure won't  make the roofer very happy, either. Again, if they worked more than 6 hours a day, they would have had it ready for the roofer.

I guess lots of reading, napping, and watching shows online are on tap for me, this weekend.

  2. About the older man who comes early to work, then has to wait...A thought occurred to me, maybe that is HIS agreed upon starting time (sounds right for construction). He might be getting paid for the time he's waiting, that would explain why he doesn't mind hanging out until the young guys show up.

    1. from what dh gathers they aren't paid hourly, just a flat rate per day of work, he isn't even really an employee, pays his own taxes. It's a mystery, for sure.

  3. I love that one of the workers sons was having fun at work! There is not enough joy in the world and it is heartening to find someone who creates it.
    Have a restful Thanksgiving!
