Wow that's crazy. Our emergency benefits gave almost everyone who was laid off $500 per week, better than nothing but $500 doesn't go very far. My only real complaint about the benefit is they didn't take taxes. You're a general contractor now right?

I had to google what a general contractor was but yeah basically I’m in charge of 3 projects about 200 apartments and have 3 GC’s underneath me. My job title is construction manager

That’s a big jump do you miss doing mason work?

Just did a few dabs for breakfast....Some OJ and a shower and it's another shorts day...maybe even some flip flops this afternoon as it nears 80f :fire:

Spring sure did come early here....I'm going to start by turning over a raised garden bed and dropping some lettuce and pea seeds, leftover from last year....It's a few weeks early but if they make it they make it!

No not at all LoL. Well it felt less complicated, I have done masonry work for this company for 10 years so I know how they do things.
I also really like the new job but they do keep pushing me hard and the hours are intense. I struggle with electrical and plumbing but because I’ve worked next to most of the trades a fair bit as a mason they help me and teach me I get more respect. Tbh it’s not that hard if you can read plans, have any eye for safety and detail, have good people skills, sequence the job right and stick to it no matter what which will result in unhappy trades at some point, thick skin helps. Also email, fucken emails after every phone call or conversation about the job if I don’t and the trades or suppliers forget something and it’s not in email they always will tell me “I don’t remember that conversation mate”. I’ve looked like a dickhead once or twice from no follow up email. I’ve had 2 promotions in under 5 months and my jobs are all a head of schedule, my last promotion tbh was just right place right time kind of thing. The last CM had some personal stuff going on and left suddenly. My work said they would rather promote from within instead of getting someone else in from outside the company.
