Who else has the winter blues. It seems to rain every other day here in N. Louisiana and brings almost all work to a stop. We have a little work to do but can not get to do any of it. Farm irrigation and site clearing for new residential construction. It has been a little slow here this year so was not really able to prepare for winter financially. I am ready for spring right now !
i feel your pain. i am looking at multiple more months of a dismal work outlook. it gets hard to keep smiling. at least my brothers and sisters are in the same boat.
the whole family? man, that'd be tough
:lmao funny as that is, I think he is only talking about the members of his family that are union....
im not sure if its the winter blues or other job related issues im having. Im going to lose it one day!
We had been going steady up until tuesday, when the major storm hit. 16 inches of snow, which stopped my main job for a bit however put 30 hours on the grader in the past 36 hours, not bad though just go wing and push snow and no one bothers me. With all the snow it has put a blanket on top of the ground and so far is holding the ground from becomming froze so we might be back moving dirt/mud next week. Trbo
It sucks if there wasnt a lot of work, but i for one look foward to my winter break, no more traveling, just get to relax. But the time spring comes around i cant wait to go back.
The winter lets me bid more jobs which is good as I get days off from weather. The bad side is I can't do much outside on machinery or paint scaffolding.
Up here we need winter to work need the cold to get the skegs all froze up. its been warm here up till last week now its cold and snowing I got put out on the grader that was a nice day pay wise and there seems to be lots of work coming in with the cold now. I make more money in the winter then i do in the summer so ain't no winter blues here.
Minus 28.1 Celsius (about minus 18 Fahrenheit) here this afternoon. Rain in Louisiana sounds good about now, although rain can be depressing. On the bright side, at least here we have a blue sky and sunshine.
