Work was good

Finally a half decent day yesterday.

Work was boring, until I got the new pc to work on then I had something to do. Spent most of the day installing programs and updating programs and... Programs... Long story short the PC works like crap (it’s a dell) and we need to wipe it again to see if we can get it to work with some sort of efficiency.

Anyway, we had an emergency CAD meeting because of the heated discussion on the boards between myself and Mr. Saj. He did not show up for this one. So I got to voice my opinions quite thoroughly and everyone agreed that we can do more if we do it my way. Sorry, I must include Mr. K in this as he is handling backing me up and take care of the civil end of things.

We covered a lot of things in the CAD meeting. I think my opinions/suggestions where constructive and well placed. I did not have that one guy there to cause any trouble in the office so that was nice. I have a meeting set up with the prez to discuss the issue I am having and help me find a solution to resolve this conflict. We cannot work if there is these petty carry on going down every time I open my mouth.
I don’t see why people are so sensitive. Saying things without sugar coating them should be a normal manner of communication. But apparently you need to kiss the ass of most of the people to get anything done. People should spend some time in the military. They will learn how to show respect and get things done.
In school, my project teams where the same way. One could argue that the issue is with me. And that is probably true because I don’t kiss their ass. I am a pusher. If the deadline is in 3 days I want it in 1.5 days. Why is it good to think that way? Because there are no medals for second place in my line of work and life. Do it all or don’t do it at all. No half ass and nothing, nothing is ever "good enough". Pet peeve "Good Enough" /shudder.
Boredom as overtaken me again today. There is just no work. I am going on site today to do a site inspection, that will be nice. Need to go home though and get my pants and boots as shorts where the only thing clean to wear this morning.

I will stop at Wendy's on my way back to work for a salad for lunch. They have good salads.
