Work Work Work

Work is right! Work is great and amazing and wonderful and sometimes down right boring! It is also a great blessing to have a job. One of the interns that worked with us last summer came by to check things out and try to get his name on the boss' table. I asked him how the job search was going and he said slow, very slow. I feel fortunate to have a position at this time with Kiewit.

Today was great. We had an estimators training complete with pizza. I love pizza. If I was a dieter and had just one weakness, it would be pizza. Unless, of course it had olives on it. The only downside to the meeting was that I found out we all must present one course in the series of estimator training series we have started. Oh well. I think I will just take treats.

As any good parent I am continually impressed by our son and how much he is learning and doing. I try not to brag too much but I do find it difficult. But it dawned on me recently that the times when I am most impressed, most proud, is when I am simply listening to Apollo. It hit me that I should probably apply that to the rest of you humans out there! I should probably listen a bit more to my coworkers, friends and family. Who knows what I will learn if I can do that? A wise man once said that God gave us two ears and one mouth so that we would listen twice as much as we speak. I think I usually speak about twenty times as much as I listen. And that's not counting the voices in my head! Well wait, what if I listen more to the voices in my head??? Now I'm getting side tracked and picturing myself in a cartoon for some reason. The point is I am trying to learn how to listen more. So, if you ever need someone to talk to feel free to call. I also have two eyes so feel free to e mail. Just send your complaints and worries to www.idontcare.com. Okay thats a joke. See what I mean about the whole listening thing? Here I go again. Getting sidetracked and twirling off into another animated feature. Have you ever seen my collection of Scandinavian credit cards?

I better go before this gets worse.
