Lesson learned?

Any time i assume a job I'm going on will be simple and straightforward, it turns into a monster of problem. The one I just finished? Two very important items were in frames too big for what I had to pack them in.

So I had to build a box then figure out how to add that box to the pallet in such a way that it stayed flat. Shit...wound up weighing 80-90 lbs on top of the trunks used, but it works. I hope.

That on top of being an old fart, and having to drive 100 miles each way to the site along two-lane blacktops...I am exhausted.  And there is NOTHING out in Northern Maine. I was smart enough to buy some meals and drinks to take with me. At least the flights were good and on time...and Maine is pretty.

I wound up doing zero thinking about MQM...except for Simon responding to any queries I made with a snippy, "You know what to write. Just do it."

Well, I can't do anything till after next week's job. I'm driving 400 miles down Sunday, packing Monday and Tuesday, helping with the pickup on Wednesday then driving home.

I will say...since Simon is driving nearly 400 miles to Barrington over the accusations against him, this is helping me keep aware of how one's mind can drift into moments he'd sooner forget.

I'm one of those people who can name every stupid or wrong-headed thing they've done over their entire life, but struggles to find anything positive in his actions. Ridiculous...I think...
