Typical Day

Well, it is the halfway point of this question adventure and I have lost the interest and drive I had at the beginning. No surprise there.  But I have made a promise to myself to see every question answered as honestly as  I can and just omit what I do not want to share to the world.  So here goes:


A typical work day is not very typical.  I have a very divers job and the items I do vary a lot from day to day but let me try to sum it up, not necessarily in any order of sequence.
I am usually up and out of bed by 5-5:10am.
Get dressed for work and get out the door by 5:30-5:35am.
Work starts at 6am but I am usually able to get the coffee on and have my cup full before then.
From that point everything is not in sequence.
I check the dry valve system at work. Take note of the air and water pressure. For those that do not know what I am talking about is the sprinkler system, and fire protection.
I talk to many different people throughout the day.  I see and talk to all the new employees on a regular basis, observing them, asking them questions about things their supervisors should be teaching them. I get to spend a lot of my time with the 'big wigs' on site like superintendents and supervisors as well as the general manager.  I knew most of these people already but not like this.  They are an interesting group that I enjoy very much! :) I fill out some paperwork, do presentations, I have attended many different courses having to do with safety and leadership, and I take tours of the site looking for unsafe things, actions and behaviours.


My days are never boring and I am always busy, but if you saw me at the end of the day and asked me what I did today, I sometimes would be unable to give you a quantifiable answer.  That's okay,  I am not task orientated.


I leave work around 3:30-4, make supper for my family and then I usually have something booked for the evening.  Staying home is definitely not my forté.  It can be a detriment to my relationships at home with my family sometimes though. I am aware of this and I try to stay home a little more these days.  I love my boys(Troy included) but they are not real talkative.  My girlfriends are chatty and we interact socially a whole lot more then my family and I do.


And the end of the day(which ranges anywhere between reasonable and way too late) has to come so I can do it all over again the next day.
