Why I Hate People

I don't wanna grow up!


Yesterday afternoon marked the second time I got to go out to a site, and thus had to dress up in all the standard "Green Triangle" crap (steel toes, hard hat, etc.) but the part that most amuses me is the blue Nomex coveralls (I assure you I don't look as good as the picture to the right, but we can't all be winners...). Now, I have no idea why getting all "dressed up" amuses me so, but I honestly get positively giddy at the prospect.

Now, on top of the joy of getting all dressed up, I actually got to visit three tanks at a Petro-Canada Terminal that we are going to be putting back into service (they've been sitting empty for about 7 years...but I doubt anyone much cares about the details of why we were there). These are HUGE tanks...two are 120' diameter x 40' high, and the "little" one is 60' x 40' high. We got to go inside (one had an internal floating roof, which was cool to see out of service...and without it, they kinda look like circus tents on the inside!) and then up to the roof of the tanks. Very cool. Yes I'm a big dork, and I don't care!
