So its the beginning of 2009! WTF, how is it already 2009. Im not really sure how I got this far, but here I am. I have quietly been grinding away on my first construction project which I started in August 2006. And here I am almost complete with the 6-story Parking Structure and the 6-Story, 145k SF class A Office space. I have been working hard at this for a Long long time. We are completing the last segment of the project, the Cafeteria style kitchen for the space. We have already turned over the 6 floors to an online university. I will be done in March 2009, making it 2-years and 8 months.

After getting a chance these holidays to really relax and just do nothing for a long while, I realize that doing nothing is really boring. I crave work or creativity of some kind to keep me busy. Constant TV watching and video games just does not do it fo me like it used to. BTW In case you were still wondering, there is NOTHING on TV! While relaxing I kept thinking on ways I wanted to improve this website, or create a t-shirt website or do something on the side which may turn into a fulltime gig. I would LOVE to own a small sandwich/coffee shop, or a restaurant, but that would take a long time to get rolling. I really need just a easy part time gig to be creative in. It is a great idea, but it really needs to be part time, cause with work I know I have limited time.

I have enjoyed my short career in construction, but sometimes I feel unfulfilled with what I am doing. Although I am making great money and for the first time am getting a great chance to save money for my future, it is hard working for a other people in the corporate world. They just do not treat you with the respect you would get if you were helping others. More than anything the people I work for DEMAND services. Which pays my bills, but puts me on the short side of the stick in the relationship. Plus with the hours I work, I am really not making that much money, and I know that remaining happy with my life needs to start with my full time job, since that is where I expend most of my energy.

Thats why sometimes I want to change this daily cycle and somehow start either working for myself or work in a more giving field where I am helping others, not working for others. I do enjoy what I do, and can see doing it for a while, but there is just soemthing missing, and I need to find that missing connection with the people I work for to keep this train moving and motivated. I am definetly on a roll and just need to keep it going. Hope you all loving and enjoying life!!!! Take advantage of these young days, cause they are slipping fast!
