Yesterday I got a call from a friend of mine's father who is one if the foreman for the I-88 construction project that's been going on for about 8 years and still isn't done. He offered me a job for the day smoothing asphalt and settting rebar, to which I happily accepted. Spent 7 hours on the road and we managed to get about 250 yards done today, earned myself $140 and had a great time shooting the breeze with the regulars. Yesterday was also my homecoming, that I had promised to go to with a girl named Rachel. I called her and told her I wasn't going because I hate school dances, and I'm not really interested in dealing with annoying drunk bitches all night. Went home, took a quick shower, still smelled like asphalt, drove the hour and a half up north through rush hour to my friend Tim's house and drank beer with a few friends while we watched the homeopener. Didn't get home till 2AM, feel immediately asleep though. Pretty good day.
