breaks.

Posted on by

with such a huge construction crew and a big job to get done
it’s lucky there’s a kitchen and a break area close by
it’s all about the work/break balance.

“I work hard all day. I like knowing that there’s going to be a break.

Most days I just sit and wait for the break.”

  15. Our son would have been in paradise with a scene like this. I’ve probably shared this with you before, but one of the games we played when he was little to pass the time was to count construction vehicles. When he’d start to get tired, he’d ask us to keep counting while he snoozed. He’d wake up and immediately ask, “How many vehicles are we up to now?”

    “Um, I think it’s 47,” I’d say, looking at my wife for confirmation.

    Our son would shake his head vigorously. “It was 58 before I went to sleep!”

    OOPS, busted! 🤣🤣🤣

  22. It’s funny. The other day, on my morning run/walk, I came across a similar situation. Only, they seemed to have been abandoned overnight – must have left for the dinner/bedtime break in a rush!

  23. Now I am on a permanent break after years of real work. However, still pretty busy doing all the things I love doing, particularly, travel. So busy …so will take a break during my permanent break…..ahhhhhhh.
