don’ t find purpose and meaning in what we do, but it’ s kind of like when a generator is running on site all day and its noise just starts to blend in, and you don’ t even really notice it until it turns off. Then, once it’ s quiet, you think( and sometimes say out loud)“ wow, that’ s way better!”
When you get time away from the constant hum of everyday life in the industry, you usually experience the same feeling.
Then there are those that, after two days at home, for whatever reason, can’ t wait to get back to work. It’ s what they live for; they eat, breathe and live this stuff. Of course, one of the more common statements made by these folks is that their partners couldn’ t wait for them to get back to work, either. These people are“ do-ers.” If they
aren’ t doing something on the jobsite they ' re looking for something to do at home. They need to do stuff. It’ s obvious these folks find significant meaning and purpose in what they do, they’ re typically the go-getters, the go-to folks that get stuff done.
And then there are, of course, people all over between those two ends of the spectrum.
At the end of the day, we all come back … some of us not quite ready and others raring to go. We pick up where we left off before the break, we again try to find our groove and we continue to be the backbone of this country, building everything needed to function as
Matt Ohley modernly as we do.
Kudos to everyone out there on the tools and in the office for making it happen. I hope you got some much-needed rest over any break you got, if you indeed got one.
