9 Feb

As the pace begins to pick-up around this area my Friday morning wake-ups are getting earlier and earlier. Today we got word 1500 visitors are due in next week; we were not expecting these visitors for another week to ten days. On top of dealing with sneaky sub-contractors I now need to expedite my time line for receiving these soldiers. So now, not only can I not fire the existing sub-contractors I must find/approve a few more sub-contractors to fill the additional requirements. Finding workers in my area is not too tough but finding ones who have trucks suitable for our needs is a challenge. And although it is the main contractors responsibility to hire adequate help I have found it is worth our time to "keep our thumb" on the contractor to ensure the job gets done correctly. Additionally, we have a few more VIPs scheduled to visit tomorrow...great...another tour of our area.
