Well, the company here is kinda a pain that way, they don't give me flexable hours, I have to plan months ahead.

When I do want to take time off, its ussually a day or two with one or two days notice, so the company doesn't like that

 

Good evening my friends

 

Not evening in BC yet, give it a few more hours

 

I wish I could bank my overtime. It gets paid out though. Better than some I suppose, no overtime allowed, or get paid straight time.

Chris, did the city ever finish that bridge? When I came through in July they had the deck ripped up.

 

Hi Sean. How's tricks?

Yep. I think it was only closed a couple days for maint.

 

Well, I thought I was done the summer work, but I was told today that I am going to Campbell River next week. It is the same job I ended last season with. At least it gets windy there early in the morning so we only work for an hour or two, then again in the evening for an hour or so. The camp set up is good too, we bring a trailer to the beach and are the only ones in the area.

 

Hey Pete how are you doing..

Hello Chris

 

Good Sean, Long time no see. I am really busy between work and moving, but another week or so and Ill have everything sorted.

 

Sounds almost like a holiday.

 

Almost Chris, we have about 4 hours of actual work to do but that can take several days with the weather. When spraying we have max wind limits of 8km/hr, no rain within 2 hours after work and no moisture on the trees is permitted before work, temp limits of 26.5 Deg C, and humidity limits around 40%. So its pretty random as to how much work we actually do in a day.

 

Ya I guess wind would be somewhat of a concern when spraying.

 

Yea, the droplets are so fine that the wind causes them to drift to non target areas, and the heat can evaporate them before they get a chance to land on the target.

 

Not a drop and done lets go have a beer kind of thing.

 

So what do you do for the rest of the week if you luck out and get all 4 hours done in one day? Like if the planets align and there's no screwups?

 

Good Morning BC, Happy Friday!
