What I do
Most of you don't know what I do now for a living. Short answer is I clean and maintain 3 offices for a pediatrican's group here in the Lafayette area. Ok, so that's oversimplifying things, but that's the easiest way to explain it. One of the advantages is that I get to wake up with my kids and don't usually leave the house til after lunch, sometimes as late as 5 or 6pm. Why? Can you imagine how complicated it would be to work on things or clean them with parents, kids, and coworkers everywhere?
So, I work with little to no supervision and nobody looking over my shoulder telling me "Hey, you missed a spot". I should have more time to blog, but that's not so, if I take the time to post something(which I do occasionally), it's pretty much got to be during a rarely taken break...okay, so I take breaks more often on some nights than others, but seriously, it keeps me at work longer to do so, thus I tend to wait until I get home to do so.
Another thing that's kind of neat about this work schedule is that I'm often one of the only people on the roads when I finish. It's just nice. I've also gotten to meet people that you wouldn't normally get to. You know those folks that work at the convenience stores during the graveyard shift? You should talk to them sometime, there is a wide range of people doing that job...interesting, really.
Ok, gotta go work...don't look, I know I missed that spot.

Today was a very good day to stay home til lunch. Nearly 100 cars wrecked between exit 7 and exit 4 before 8am today. I-49 was closed til 11am. The remaining cars clogged the remaining roadways. I don't think I've ever seen worse fog. It took me an hour to get to work.
