When we met, we were both in the office designing...most engineers are in the office year-round. This is field work - there is ALWAYS an engineer out on construction jobs...he's the guy that tells the workers what to do, measures what they do, pays them for what they do, yells at them, etc... That is what I did when we first moved here too, it's VERY stressful, especially as a woman. Being out the field has it's good things and bad things...the hours are obviously the bad things. They have time limits on jobs, which is why they work so long. Every day they go over costs them hundreds of THOUSANDS of dollars on this big job. And also - some of these construction workers only work for 6 months out of the year, so they try and RACK UP overtime hours to save...and Justin has to stay as long as they do.
I do hate it though, he's working on the huge bridge over the Illinois River...one of the painters fell in last week and is still in the hospital. Last time it was built, 12 workers died! So I hate that part.
Anyways.....fire fighting doesn't take up a LOT of time, but yeah, he will have to slow down with that when the baby comes. Mainly he gets calls in the middle of the night, so that's fine if he wants to go to those, I'll be awake anyways I'm sure!
