SUPRISE!

Chris came and surprised me at work today. I do not have cell phone reception so I don't really get to talk to him all day. He drove up the mountain today and waited by the security gate to catch me on my way out. Thanks to Abby I didn't miss him.

He took a few pictures of the Montage (the project I'm on) We are in the bottommost floor (4 floors in the ground) in a rather damp... and hot office. But WAY better than jobsite trailers! I've been getting more responsibilities the longer I've been there. My first week I was charged with Archiving Digitally all of the submittals (it would take a month to do it all). But it was rather repetitive doing that all day.

The next week I got put in charge of all the bus problems. All I was given was the main bus drivers name and number and I was the new person in charge of 700 workers getting to and from work, safely and without getting into fist fights. Its amazing how many problems pop up from a seemingly simple task. But it was nice to have something to give me a break from submittals every once in a while.

This week I was assigned to take the Load off of one of the Project Engineers, doing all of his RFI's (requests for information). That kind of turned into not only his RFI person... but the new RFI guroo. I take RFI's from our Subcontractors, figure out what they are asking (through their commonly bad hand writing and grammar), submit them to the architects, get an answer back after lots of convincing, write a RFI RESPONSE and send that to the entire jobsite. Then I do a bunch of fancy stuff in the computer and then go try to find the drawing to mark the RFI in... a lengthy process for only one RFI. (I'm supposed to get 50 alone tomorrow) So I am now finding it hard to find time to work on my Submittal archive.

Anyways its been really fun, and a lot of work. But I'm started to get some things down at least, and be a little be more reliable and get some of the peoples names down.
