Adventures in Calgrary

When it rains, it pours....

Ken is off working in Calgary again this week, but called home this morning. It was very strange to hear from in the the middle of the morning.

They awoke to rain.... not a big deal, but also a missing license plate off the back of their van. They had to take a quick trip report it stolen, and buy a new one. But they do not take Mastercard (company provided) and require him to pay a speeding ticket from someone else's company van in order to pay off the account, and then purchase a new plate.

As it goes... he has lost 3 hours of work this morning on a job that they are very far behind. Ken just recently learned that every school they have completed they now have to go back and redo part of it because they need to change the type of wire they are pulling. They now need to return all the boxes of wire, and get all new ones for the remaining schools. They have also been given a hard time about wearing safety goggles, and earplugs. This is on top of adding hours to the job by having to run every inch on wire in metal pipes they have to bend.

Good luck Ken.... maybe your job for the summer, will be finished before Christmas??!!!
