Has anyone every called out from work and went and cut wood instead? I am doing just that today
and while on a water break, I just had to share my excitement.
Not often. That's the beauty of working the 3-11 shift. I can cut a load like this one in the morning before work and still get to work on time. Usually after a good morning of wood cutting, I'm tired and need to go to work and relax anyway! This was this morning's load, I left the house at 10:00 and was home by 12:30, cutting about 8 miles away:
That's my 3rd load this week, and I hope to get a couple more this weekend. Tomorrow I have to get splitting and get the truck empty though. Lots of tops in there, I most of what needs splitting is visible in the pic, shouldn't take more than an hour or so to split and stack.
I also follow the rule of never waste a sick day being sick. Most of mine get burned in the summer, when I can sit in the boat, drink beer, and think up fish stories to tell the next day at work. Wednesday is my favorite sick day, everyone else likes Friday or Monday, but take a Wed off and you've got a mini weekend and a 2 day week on either side of it.
