18 December 2018

The music of the video below was stuck in my head today. I invite you to listen to it while you read my journal entry.


This morning was very wet. It rained so much that the public lights were off. Riding my bike down the hill from Hillsdale through the darkness, I saw flares in the distance at Terwilliger's intersection to ease the stress of the traffic light outage. Water was dripping off my face for minutes as I was scheduling blog posts for the newly named Single Adult Blogs of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints social media pages before work. 
The first thing that I did at work is confirm completion of mislabeled mullion assemblies, which was more simple than expected.
Afterward, I caught up with the project manager to get focused. He taught that management & shop work was all to support the field personnel. We should not give or receive any lip in serving the field, which we did from the shop, when I announced the new mullion labels. 
I was told to make a matrix for all the mullion assemblies for the field, but I was hesitant because I thought my manager over simplified it. 
Working on other things, we were approached by a foreman, asking about the changes. I was then instructed to relabel mullions in the field.
When I came back from that activities conclusion, I received a call from the inspector to complete epoxy anchor installations. We were unable to complete the second inspection planned because the special condition connection plate was already grouted, which I had to arrange the removal.
I did two things for the field. Red asked me to make a document, showing the face of Probel off the grid-lines for the iron workers, since they were bugging him about it, and I made the mullion assembly matrix after humbling myself to make the oversimplified matrix. My operations manager started creating it, who is over my project manager.
Tonight we shopped with a neighbor at New Seasons because Jessica discovered that Winco has a policy that bulk products is only to be purchased in their plastic bags to avoid cross contamination. We don't want to collect plastic bags. The use of throw-away plastic bags are harmful to the world's ecosystems.
