in habitat we truss...

ok last night; so after last nights blog we went to dinner and had pizza n beer, simple yet most bodacious dude. we also were treated to a slide show of pictures taken by don(?) young which were all during and after the katrina incident. the presentation was cool bc it was all local photographers and music that were very good. the only thing was that this guy would NOT STOP. it was a great presentation but dangit we were drinkin beers and all had to pee. so ya, after, on the way back, pat/"ted" got us to stop at a bengat(??) place where we ate square donuts with more powdered sugar than a columbian would know what to do with, which meant we all wound up wearing some. and after that we went to sleep, though bonzi and i couldnt so we just watched south park. then i got woken up by randy at 810 saying we were late....our alarms had not gone off. and for all you haters out there, YES WE HAD ONE SET! (and were only 10 min late so ya. so we woke up quickly and jumped in the van and got to the habitat village for musicians. we didnt really do much except for carrying truss's which are the main support for the roofs. and after randy and i finished our never ending ferrying of 24' truss's it turned out that we needed 26' truss's.....this is about when we learned that this place has poor organization, the most likely cause being that it was on such a large scale, ie a whole dang neighborhood. so when we were let out an hour early we went to lunch at a nice lil diner/cafe that had some good home style sountern food. i had fried chicken an taters. it was a nice place but they did not seem to want to give me a dang drink, i ordered 3 different drinks thinking that they didnt think i should have any of my previous order attempts of soda/tea so i eventually jus got schmertz to grab me a coke....stupid waitress. but ya it rained and we came back and had a meeting where pat/"ted" told us what he does and then met with us each so that we could figure out ways to make personal budgets. and now i have to do stupid hmwk and then shower bc we are going somewhere, i dunno, for dinner and then apparentl a ghost tour that starts where ever dinner is so i think that shall also be interesting.

hey Xander - even if you didn't identify yourself!

I like your title - "in habitat we truss!" Hopefully your work will go smoother tomorrow. You guys will probably get the building people all organized right about it is time for you to leave! Sounds like you are having better luck ordering beer than your soft drinks! I hope all is well, and thanks for your great writing!

Love,

Me
