So yesterday, I drove out to one of the jobsites to upgrade some software on one of the other superintendents laptops. Since I'm not doing jack shit here in the office, I figured it would be nice to get out and go remind myself what construction looks like.

Drive through Los Angeles and finally get there. Sorry as project. All the guy is currently allowed to build due to the customer's financial status, is the elevator pit. He's in the middle of a big dirt lot, and all he has going on is an 8 foot by 8 foot hole that is about 4 feet deep. That's his big project. God damn. I gotta get the fuck out of here. This company is falling deep down the rabbit hole.

Anywho. He talks about this massive, I mean tiny hole he's working on and then I upgrade his Lotus Notes to the latest version. Finish that and hop back in my truck and head back for the office.

Cruising down the street and I notice this motorcycle COP sitting in a shadow and he's got his laser gun aimed right at me. SHIT!! I was going just a couple miles over the speed limit. Really nothing at all. As I pass by him he's got this huge grin on his fucking face and he's looking right as me as his left hand is dropping the laser gun into its little side saddle box. I keep cruising, now at the legal speed and figure, WTF, if he's going to pull me over, I'm going to at least be pulled over where I want to get pulled over which is on the street up on the left. I get in the left turn lane, while he's waiting for an oppurtunity to jet out into traffic and catch up with me. I'm sitting at the light, waiting for my green left turn arrow and right as it turns green, he pops his lights and siren and gives me that big fucking grin again. GOD DAMNIT!!!! I start to roll forward to make the left and ZOOOOOOOMMMMMMM. A car damn near clips me that's running the red light. I look in my mirror and the COP looks at me, at the red-light runner, back at me, and then turns up the volume on his siren and shakes his head at me laughing and zooms after the car that ran the red.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEE HHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am one lucky SOB. I was feeling like a fucking champ. Told myself it must be my lucky day and I've got to keep using my luck. Not that I really believe in that shit, but that was too damn good to be true.

Big plan was to go buy a lotto ticket. But of course I forgot to go buy one. What a dumbass.

So much for continuing with the luck. SHIT!! I could of been a millionaire today. Probably not though. Luck wasn't going that well.
