Ya know...this job can be so frustrating sometimes. I've been busting my but the last couple of days to make sure I'm ready for all of this testing to begin at the plant. And I thought they were ready too, but apparently not. Their idea of right away is next Tuesday. I don't want to sound selfish or anything, but let's think about me here. I'm a student, hired by them, paid by them, specializing on ONE job. My bosses are involved in all kinds of projects, that's why they hire students that can remain dedicated to one project and move it along. I don't have anywhere else to go! What am I supposed to do? Sit here and twiddle my thumbs for 5 days? I don't even need their help for the next couple of things I need to do at the plant, but the rules say I need an escort. Assign me the valet, the toilet bowl freshener, or even the guy who sharpens the pencils. All I need is a body with a clearance pass. After that the job is easy...and fun. I have to stick my suction orifice on a pair of nipples...in layman's terms. You know...maybe this job isn't so bad after all. And guys, 12" is nothing. Next week I stick my 12' tool down KW's stack, three of them. It's a foursome!! (I can already tell my friends are applying for this job for next year) Later people.

Question of the day: What is your favorite comic strip? I've been torn between "Foxtrot" and "Calvin and Hobbes".
