Not much was accomplished from 7:00-10:30 this morning, I guess that is one of the disadvantages of being the intern, there isn't much to do during the first few days. However, at 10:45 I left for the jobsite for a staff meeting. The meeting didn't actually start until 12:00 but seeing that I have a terrible sense of direction and get lost easily I figured it best to leave with ample time to travel and find parking.
Even though the jobsite is less than 12 miles away from the office, it took me nearly 45 minutes to arrive. The traffic out here is crazy. Once I parked the car and got the demolition area it was about 11:15 and it dawned on me that I didn't know where the meeting was going to be held. Not to mention when I left the office, I forgot to write down either Chuck or David's phone numbers. I waited for about 15 minutes before calling Kayla. I asked her for Chuck and David's phone numbers. I shot them a text message and finally figured out where to go.
I got to the office before Chuck and David and met Shawn Zeiger the Superintendent. We chatted for a bit before the other two showed up. We then proceeded to the most important meeting of the day, lunch. By now it was about 12:15. We went to a place called Lucky Strike. My enjoyed the super unhealthy, artery clogging, heart attacking Bacon Cheeseburger. It was totally worth the years it shaved off my life. After lunch we went back to the jobsite office and discussed the project in detail. Well, I sat there and tried to take in as much information as I could while the others discussed the different important items of the project. This continued for another hour and a half. The meeting ended at 2:48. I stuck around and discussed my role till about 3:00, from then I headed back to the car and back to the office.
Of course, on my way back I had to stop and get an ice cold pop and some snacks. I pulled into a gas station to purchase a Dr. Pepper, Hot Tamales, and two packs of green Sour Punch Straws. they were to help wake me up and tied me over till 5:00.
