Sir;...How does anyone only put in 12.5 hours on a twenty hour a day job??? I only got paid eight hours a day most of the time for doing ironwork, but I was an ironworker 24 hours a day... How do you escape it??? By going home??? That is some help, but if you are not thinking about it sitting eating your bread you are not earning your pay...If you are not dreaming about it, and worrying about, and wishing you could do some of it over, and praying you might get the chance then you are not earning your keep, or doing the trade justice... Fools throw the prints in the tool box, and never give it another thought till eight...Other people can't wait, and get there with bells on and chomping at the bitt... There are a lot of qualities in life that separate the champs from the also rans, and it is not political pull or promotion... People get to the top by being good and doing good, and some times it does not take a man twenty four hours to do a twentry four hour a day job... The worst miserable failures in the world never learn to delegate authority, or to trust those they delegate authority to... I could never trust anyone to do my job better than myself, and so I was only a journey man, a day laborer... But I did it well, and I loved it much, and I gave it my highest regards... You can trust my work, and I did not need an inspecter in my bolt bag... You can trust that the rumor mill works to serve a single purpose, but it is seldom the purpose of the whole people... From personal experience I can tell you that if you are not better than a man, a few poison words can make him seem worse... If people will not get behind their words, they are not worth hearing...And if they are not worth hearing they are not worth sharing... Thanks...Sweeney
