Ugly Sandals
I was tired this morning. Not feeling well. Late for work. You know - the usual story. So I was a little groggy as I took my cooler and briefcase out to the truck. I had to go to a hardware store to pick up a few things before going to a project site to meet with an inspector. So after about 30 to 40 minutes of driving I was pulling up in ( Read more... ) -

It was a few businesses down the way from the restaurant construction project that I'm currently supervising. A finger tapped me on the shoulder. It was the dick. It's the dick's job to make sure that I'm there baby-sitting my project. Otherwise he can ( Read more... ) -
