I don't want to go to work tomorrow.

I noticed ‘ironbuilt’ chimed in with a “like”. One year it was so cold, we went out in 5min. increments to crank down dolly legs to drop a trailer!! Yup, it was cold & the grease/lube was a little thick.I swear that one revolution took 60secs.
I dropped my trailer last week in North Dakota. It was 4 below zero. I swear it took an hour for the landing gear to go down.
 
Used to be easy. Working the extra board in my 20’s. Phone rang, “ how fast can you get here?
Now, takes time to prepare. Charge all the phones and devices. Rest. Hang upside down. PBJ cause I am cheap. Coffee thermos cause I’m cheap. Gastronomical episodes. List at door so I don’t forget anything. There is more. Used to just run out the door and jump on the BMW. Gets complicated towards the end.
 
Office day tomorrow...I'll go in about 730-800 to finalize a couple of bids.Tuesday I'll be excited to get back in the field...starting an ammonia compressor and power substation change-out project, but first..demo! Rabbit time!

It would take that long to put coats on and pee before each trip out the door.
 
I go to work same business 40 years. I complain every day, I still go, hate it some days. I figure if i can get 2 more years ill pull the plug on work. Except the money is really good.
Life is short - bail when you can. Unless you need the money. Enjoy your life while you’re reasonably young and healthy. It can change in a heartbeat - literally. Ask me how I know....
