So I postponed my weekend plans at the office so I could spend time with the family and friends. Now that it’s Monday, I’ve had no choice but to hit the ground running in order to make up for lost time.

Time Management Tip #1:

Create a “To-Do” list and go over tomorrows activities before you leave, today. This way, you can use the least productive part of your day planning and the most productive part of the day being productive.

Good Day!

Summer has officially begun. My brother and sister were both in town this weekend - what better way to kick off the summer.   Friday evening and early Saturday morning we spent partying at Dublin Square. Today we spent the day together in preparation for my grandparents anniversary party tomorrow afternoon. 

I was very happy to spend the weekend together given that all of us will be spending the summer many thousand miles away from one another. My sister will be in Mexico volunteering her services at a local medical clinic, my brother is relocating to Maine to continue his residency, and I will be in the District completing my construction internship.

Hope you all have a good summer!

 

I participated in the first company softball game of the season. It was great to take a break from my daily responsibilities and simply have fun with friends and coworkers. 

On a different note, training is coming along. Last week I peddled over 80 miles. This week I’m off to slow start with only 30 done. Guess I better step it up. 

There were to many head-winds this morning to continue bike training so I decided to get an early start on my studying. I only have two (2) exams next week - Monday and Tuesday. I might end up taking one on Wednesday evening if I find out my grade in the particular class is such that it would beneficial to take it.

So I’m sitting here in the crowded Stoddard Street Starbucks reading my Contracts textbook. I’m more particularly zeroing in on the AGC 655, a contract between Contractor and Subcontractor. It’s this type of document that makes me think about one important question, “WHY CAN’T WE JUST WORK TOGETHER WITHOUT CONFLICT?” 

Maybe I’ll make that my goal once I graduate. 

Bike training today. 

Klan residence.

Eleven (11) miles.

Rough terrain.

Goodbye.

The site tour of the new MSUFCU Corporate Headquarters was phenomenal. The Construction Management company, Workstage, has done a truly amazing job from every aspect of the project so far. The site was very neatly organized from tool/material storage to phase structure. As for the building itself, it is oriented and glazed in such a way that they will be utilizing natural lighting and only need to use actual flourescent lighting at night. The building will be LEED Silver candidate when it is completed. TRULY AMAZING!

Unfortunately I don’t have any pictures to show you as my attention was focused on the building itself. You’ll just have to visit the site.

I picked up the bike I will be training with and using for the Dalmac.  Isn’t it gorgeous?

I’ve only been able to ride it once this week as the weather has not allowed anything beyond…

It looks like moving to the District is a go. My summer classes have been grouped with my fall classes. I’ve informed the bank that I will be leaving for the summer…I have yet to hear a response from them. That’s okay, I’ve arranged for alternative employment for the fall if the bank is unwilling to work with me.

I love demand!

“Without a doubt, coffee is the single best incentivisor for an office. The secret is that it’s quite literally a drug that speeds people up. It’s not the only one. You hear stories…in the ’80s when people didn’t know how bad cocaine was. Man did they move paper!”

Due to my phone being broken (again) and a two (2) day delay for a replacement to arrive, I can be reached once again on my alternate number. You can also reach me via email at amoore@fnba.com.

Thanks!
