GO HOME and REST!

It was great to be back at work today.  Four days out feels like a vacation.  I was greeting the other Site Safeties outside our trailer office, as I walked in.  Our General Superintendent came out and jokingly asked me if I was going to come in and see him.  We all went inside and he immediately asked if I'm able to go back out.  I was ready to get back into the swing of things even though both my eyes were still visibly swollen.  I was told that I can go home anytime during the day if I started feeling ill due the heat.  I just had to call the General Super and let him know.  So he can get one of the other safeties to cover for me.  

It wasn't much to do today.  Most of the work was the punch list was closing out on one of the buildings.  The crew was doing rework on a couple of buildings.  I was okay.  The weather was overcast and cool for the morning.  After lunch though.  It was a different story.  No more overcast, it turned to partly cloudy and HOT.  The heat was getting to me.  Many times I wanted to call in to go home.  But I held out.  Even with a minor eye surgery in the heat...okay...okay...I was in the shade of the building.  It was still hot though.  

The Project Site Superintendent showed up to my job site.  His job site was stopped, until Monday.  He saw me in the shade and told me to go back to the trailer.  He even told me to go home and rest.  I declined.  I wanted to tough it out. 

At the Trailer Office, almost everyone told me to go home and rest.  I declined again.  I know I could hang.  I was already planning tomorrow's safety class for Day 3 of the 40 hour.  When the General Superintendent came in.  He asked me to postpone the class until the next week.  He told me that I needed more rest.  I concurred.  He then told me to go home.  

You know what?!  This is the first time the company wanted me to go home and rest.  I better cherish this...coz I know it's not going to happen again. 

I got the weekend off.  It already feels good.  


Keep Smiling. 

1st day back after Eye Surgery.

1st day after surgery. 

Eyes are still swollen, actually eye lids are still swollen.  But they're not as bad as the picture above.  Feels sandy, like pink eye.  I have tear drops for that.  I'm okay.   Nothing but a thing.  

Getting ready to head to work in the early morning.  Will check the livestock before I head out though.  We'll see how today goes with my recovery.  I'll be on light duty, possibly staying in the trailer office doing computer work for my upcoming project.  Still have to write out the following; Asbestos Abatement Plan, Site Specific Fall Protection Plan, and Fall Protection Rescue Plan.  I may do a site visit at my EMCS project that I inherited.  See what the CalPac boys are up to. 

See y'all when I get back.
