Well, today was my birthday and I have survived to live to at least 33 years old. As a birthday present to myself, I will begin working 7 days a week starting tomorrow. I don't even have the luxury to stay up late playing video games and sleeping in the day after my birthday. My coworkers were kind enough to host a grill-out session tonight and cooked me a very nice Angus beef T-bone steak. I was dumb enough to eat basically two of all the desserts we had (individual cake pieces, brownies and ice cream). What they hey, it is my birthday so why not. Besides, I will do my best to sweat it all out tomorrow when I'm out and about the plant chasing down flanges, gaskets and workers.
Speaking of work, some of the operators have been telling me it has already reached over 50C (122F) based on car thermometers and local gauges. None of the websites I have been too have shown the weather above 43C. Those same operators also told me that the government 'adjusts' their temperature readings because they need to shut down all outside work when the weather is above 50C, or at least allow more and longer breaks during the work day. Can't be letting the laborers having that now can we!
Well, going to check my e-mail and try to get some sleep since I need to be up tomorrow at my usual time.

I thought I posted on your birthday, but it looks like blogger ate my post. grrr.... Anyway, sorry you couldn't have a nice cold beer on your birthday to wash down that steak! Hope you are staying cool - it's been warm here, but nowhere near 122 degrees!!! Happy (late) birthday!
