Do I really have to title each entry?

Now that I've recovered, I guess I ought to explain the 'sleeping' on the job a little better from that first blog entry.

It's not that we normally get any down-time while on the clock, but yesterday was odd for a number of reasons. The travel times, the waiting for the ferry, break-time, and being all geared up, but waiting on another subcontractor to show up so we could get our job started all contributed to me being able to take, at most, a 3-minute nap in response to not having slept more then four or five hours per night - and either working or preparing for work every minute I was awake of those days.

The original impetus for this blog was, as I have written, just curious and odd things that come up when doing our odd form of construction. Four weeks ago I was wishing I had already created the blog as we had a really bad day when a co-worker was almost killed on the job. He was, and is, screwed up badly. He may never be able to walk or work normally again, but at least he's alive. Perhaps I'll describe that event better at some later date, but for now I think it is safe to say that we probably do one of the most dangerous types of construction work, with some of the largest tools, and it just doesn't always end up well for everyone involved.
