I woke up at 6, after little sleep because my roommate this week snores bad. I'm in Oakdale and I packed my clothes and little bit of food I had. I was told we would be done in Oakdale today and would drive to Sacramento to work on a job there. I ate a yogurt with some raspberries and drove to the South San Joaquin Irrigation District (SSJID). I got there at 7. The big boss, and I mean big, didn't show up until 8 so I slept in the truck. Here is a picture of our solar system at SSJID.
Okay, check out this next picture and imagine a structure like the purple arrow is pointing at placed where the purple box is. Also, imagine twelve more rows in the red box, looking kind of like where the red arrow is pointing. This is what we are trying to finish. Today is the day PG&E hooked up all their wires at the green arrow so we can turn the system on. The blue lines are some of my walking paths in the morning before my first task of the day. I spent a lot of time where the blue arrow is pointing in the morning too. Anyhow, my first task of the day was very hard (this sentence is meant to be sarcastic). I was at the blue arrow and got a call to go to the green arrow to see my big boss. I got to the green arrow and was told to go buy two dozen donuts and some copenhagen, ha! So, I took the yellow path into Oakdale and bought things. Upon my return from the yellow path, I was told to go back to the solar field, so I did. I spent a whole lot of time sitting in a truck at the orange arrow before lunch and much more time at the blue arrow. Lunch time came and I was called to the green arrow again for pizza. I spent about four hours after lunch just standing, literally standing there at the green arrow. Fourty five minutes left of work, work... We flipped some switches, turned on the breakers, watched some solar modules tilt towards the sun and left.
Now I'm back in my hotel room, the one I tried to leave this morning. This is me sitting on my bed with nothing to do.
I want to complain so badly about my day but I have absolutely no reason to. I made thirty seven dollars an hour today and didn't break a sweat. It was just a long day of doing nothing. This blog entry was meant for me to entertain myself and it worked! I hope everyone is having a fab week!

I liked following the arrows. It was fun. I wish I got $37 an hour...
we miss you. lets hang out. sorry you were so bored while making 37 dollars an hour. lol. we should go to dinner since you are so rich now. lol
I was entertained :) Miss you man. Also, you didn't miss much today, everyone had to work or slept so it's probably good you didn't come. But seriously, let's plan another trip soon down there.
