-Twelve Monkeys- Song Listening to at Start Airplanes - B.o.B feat. Hayley Williams So, the weekend was nowhere near as peaceful as I had hoped it would be BUT it was also not a shit show....so yay? First and foremost, Friday was not as happy a day as I had wished it to be on the sole fact that we were told that when lunch rolls around 12 o'clock, we could leave to start heading home. Little did NO ONE KNOW that when we got on site, we were told that we'd be staying another three hours more. The fact that everyone was deadset on going home after eating or simply going home to eat was the primary objective really took a solid shot to moral, my own included. So, the day went as usual for the most part till the final stretch and that last hour took soooooo lllloooonnnggggggg. But, when it finally hit three thirty, everyone loaded up and we were off and the ride was nice. Got to sit in the back, put my head phones in and just listened to music when the music on the radio wasn't to my liking. When I got to my car, I felt liberated. I was driving passed my mothers house so I figured I would swing by there and she was rather happy to hear about my time, laughing at my pain but it was all in good fun as we all laughed. She gave me some pain medication and some sun screen for the next week. I gave her my farewells and headed home where I took my stuff in, changed my shirt and went out to eat because I wanted too. Had a nice meal at a japanese restaurant and then came the call to the landlord on Saturday, So, I was in the middle of doing errands and when he picked up......he told me that he was driving and that he would call me back in 20 minutes.....he never did. Also, for the Quick Announcement issue that was thrown out there, that was due to the fact that I had a little.......disagreement with my roommate. He caught me on my way back to my room and brought up my paycheck and how much I make so he could start trying to figure out what bills I could do. It kinda set me off because I don't want my only days off to be filled with bills and nagging. I plan on paying for what I think I need to pay for. I'm gone five of the seven days so that adds up to very little. So he and I got into a rather heated debate and it ended with me just shutting my mouth and just walking away which pissed him off royally and I just couldn't get into any sort of mind set to do anything on site so I just didn't do any computer things at all for the weekend in order to really just.....relax and unwind. Now to today. I didn't want to wake up T-T I was so tired last night and I laid down really early too. But it didn't.....I......didn't...... I laid there, without phone or anything but darkness. And still, nothing for hours. I finally figured that I was at a point of no return and broke down. Took a swig of my Nyquil and laid back down and finally after a few minutes, I was gone. And then suddenly I woke up to my alarm going off. I Hated My Life. The sleep was bliss, it was that nice dead sleep that I love but when I woke up, it was broken. And because I took the Nyquil, I was still drowsy and just wanted to go back to sleep. So badly. I was able to get out of bed, get dressed and out the door in normal time. All the usual without the worry this time so that is a plus. Drove back to the worksite and it was the same one. Worked till lunch but when we got back, it started to thunder and because of that, we couldn't work. After about an hour of waiting, they sent us to the hotel early. Which left us with nothing to do and down some hours which, and this is the worst case scenario, we'd have to work this Saturday. And if it lightning's any more and we miss more days, it will become more and more likely that it is going to have negative repercussions on the crew because either that means they will be taking a day of the weekend to make up for lost time OR we will have to start getting up earlier and getting off later. BOTH of which no one is going to like in the slightest. Added to all this. Because it rained, we now have to work in the muck that will surely be waiting for us tomorrow and while I have zero problem with that at all. I do have a problem with the high humidity of the air that makes it feel like your fucking drowning BUT even that pale in comparison to....the bugs,,,,there are out there, waiting, plotting. Aiming to annoy and devour all those that they lay their eyes on. I will be brave. I will persevere. I will survive.
