Today felt like a normal day until I realized that I forgot to put on my helmet, wearing one of my Apollo Mechanical hats. When I arrived at work, I realized that I forgot my lunch and my laptop. The rare occasion of bringing my laptop home was my birthday celebration last Friday at Columbia Stone's headquarters in Tualatin. I typically work on the jobsite in downtown Portland.
I blamed my rhythm being off because I accidentally slept-in last Thursday until 7:30. I usually arrive at work at 7 AM.
The facade design meeting is at 8 o' clock Thursday mornings, and I drove straight to work after dressing, arriving on time for the meeting.
The trick that I used to save time parking is that Jessica did it for me. I told a funny story of Jessica parking the car to my dad yesterday evening, and he got a kick out of it.
Jessica rarely drives, and she wanted to practice; therefore, she decided to do an extra loop around the parking structure on each floor. Someone started following her, doing the extra loop on each level until level seven. Maybe they were hoping the parking situation changed seeing logic in the extra loop.
Last week was a triumph because we are publishing a complete QC plan. My project manager & I were planning to announce the completion of each section; however, I was mostly ignored when I reported on the QC plan. I was fine with it. The QC plan is not about recognition. Its application is the achievement.
I wrote my first real RFI for a general contractor last week. The idea was accepted, but the structural application needs to be specified by the engineers.
There is a few issues in the mullion assembly labeling, and I felt blameless over the weekend. When I started looking into the issues, I realized that my labels were incorrect. I fixed a couple issues today, releasing updated documents, but I forgot to fix mislabelled assembly ticket. I still have a lot of work to do.
