Someone stole my PRESCRIPTION sunglasses. Presumably to trade for meth.

“We need a logo for our safety team. What comes to mind when you think of being safe?”
“Flaming scorpions!”
Have a good day at
- “Have a good day at work” is an oxymoronic statement.
Here’s a game I like to play at work: Tradesman or Homeless Guy?
“This panelboard shall be located where accessible only to qualified persons.”
I got close enough to take a photo so I was obviously close enough to access it, and I am grossly unqualified.
I made the mistake of thinking about how much I could get done toda if when I got to work the site was still shut down from the fire.
Due to a fire at work, I have to walk about 2 miles to my car.
What kind of clip art shouldn’t you put on a memo about sexual harassment? I vote for “cow skull that manages to evoke both a vagina and a uterus.”
The collective denial on this job site from guys who look in the mirror every morning and say, “No, this mustache doesn’t make me look ridiculous,” is so thick you could pour it over a short stack of silver dollar pancakes.
More than anything else, the reason I don’t expect this job to become a career is that I drop things too often. You don’t really realize how often you drop stuff until you do it from twelve feet off the ground. I have spent the last few days working in the dark alcoves between the catwalks, running pipes that need to wind in and around already existing lines. That means building structural support for them and clamping them down.
When I’m straddling two pieces of steel strut and trying to connect another piece or tightening a nut to a clamp, all that I can think about is all the things I have the potential to drop on the guys working below me. The nut, a bolt, either half of the clamp, an eight-foot-long piece of PVC pipe, a 10-pound, jagged-edged piece of metal, a ratchet, a hammer, a tape measure…
I am going to kill someone some day.
About I Have an MBA
In 2005, I got my MBA with an emphasis in marketing from Arizona State's W.P. Carey School of Business. In the ensuing years, I have applied for more than 2000 jobs.
Currently, I work a construction job I could have gotten even if I'd dropped out of high school. This site is dedicated to all the times during a 60-hour work week I tell myself, "I HAVE AN MBA!"
