We live and die together (figuratively speaking). Sometimes, rookies just have to trust the veterans. We've got a lot of scars from mistakes we've made over the year and don't want to repeat them. Unfortunately, that that hasn't always been happening which is adding to MY stress.

I have a new person I'm working with. If she fucks up, we all get fined by the state. So I'm on her ass 24-7. I could understand where you’re coming from.

I hope that all is well with you and yours. Honestly, I'm nearly insane. We haven't been able to find enough good help. We can find people to play around the edges; but no one that can just go off and do things without any supervision. If we do, it's a bigger mess to clean up than if we had just done it ourselves. And people generally don't like losing tasks/responsibilities. So, we're even more stressed out than we would be otherwise. Alfie: It's going to be a long time before we can sit and watch other people work. But hopefully, I'll get a break very soon. Bill McCool: The pressure of work goes in cycles. It's just magnified by the fact that I am so keenly aware of the fact that the kids will not be around forever. Kelly: Thanks for stopping by! I hope that all is well with you and yours.

Jerome's attitude: "I like work. It fascinates me. I could sit and watch it all day." We look forward to the photos when you get time off for good behaviour.

But I need a normal project from time to time too - in order to keep my sanity! Keep Sane! I’m the same way - when I’m not selected for the high profile, high crunch projects - I feel left out!
