Everything is wonderful!

I'm working hard at my new job. I'm cabling a new casino out here in Oklahoma. I'm sore, sunburnt, tired, and smiling. I actually have quite a nice tan, for the second time in my entire life.
The electricians on this jobsite are funny, funny guys. They heckle my crew all day long. I enjoy the good-natured bantering. My crew is working hard and learning the trade. We pulled 150 cables on Saturday, and another 104 today. That's busting butt.
The job is supposed to be finished by August 20th. I'm sure we'll make deadline on the original bid, but the add-ons are going to kick our collective arses. They like the quality of my work, so we are getting the phone and fiber cabling also - that's the add-on part. Oh well, more money and more work.
I'm like the sweetheart of the construction site, I attend meetings with the honchos and everybody knows my name. I use the outhouses just like the guys, and I'm as hard-working and responsible as anybody out there. I guess you could say I'm back in my element and I feel good.
I'm also losing weight like crazy...
Bonus!

Shalom,
MsAmber

Hey Ms. Amber! Glad you you're doing great and feeling good!
You have that crew eating out of the palm of your hand, being the only girl and all, huh?
:-)

Awesome--- been a while since I've been here, but good to know you are away from those office bimbos.

Even though you are wiring an evil palace, at least you are enjoying your work, which counts.
