Woohoo! It's Thursday

This Sunday-Thursday schedule is nice. Since next Monday is Memorial Day, we get Sunday and Monday night off. So it's a four day weekend for me. To make up for the short work week, we agreed to let the contractor work on Friday night of that week, so that makes next weekend only a one day weekend. I'm actually taking that Friday off to attend a friend's wedding.

The project manager finally came back after taking 2 weeks off sick. The second project of our office is supposed to start in June, so they'll pull the Black guy off this one, and leave me in charge of the batch plant. At this point, they made my job easier. We've been having problems with the amount of air in our mix, so now the guys out on the field will make the adjustments. I'm not sure how well that will work, since the guys out there don't know anything. We started the with the B mix, which sucked so we switched to the A mix, which was working. The contractor was happy, but the State wasn't happy with the results of the air test, so we switched back to the B mix yesterday. After 3 truck loads, we made the decision to switch back to the A, because it looked like crap, and they still weren't getting good air results. Hopefully we'll stick with the A mix, and the rest of the project will run smoothly. And yes that is what we called them A and B mix.
