Overtime at Work.

Business has been slow for the past four months but suddenly a significant announcement from the government has coincided with a recent load of new work. Some of these new projects are on tight delivery dates and there is a delay on providing digital drawings. Construction has been proceeding with the use of sketch when necessary. Last night before I went home the boss asked me to start new revisions on a set of house plans, first thing in the morning despite the need for official jobs. I have been working on this large set of drawings, off and on for 19 months and they have nothing to do with the equipment that we manufacture in our shop. In fact these drawings are for the boss as he took up the torch for his son to coordinate the design and construction of his house. The foundation has been poured and a contractor has been lined up to begin roughing in the basement windows and structural walls. We worked on it all day and into the night because the contractor needs the drawing ready first thing in the morning. After we completed the work my boss called up the contractor who needed the drawing and discovered that the contractor has post pone the work until next week. Thus ends the sum of a frustrating and intensely long day, all for nothing. Well, maybe not for nothing since we have this drawing ready. This was one drawing of the set so I would not be surprised if we replay this day with the next drawing, some time in the future.
