I got the news Sunday night.
You may be allowed to be human and make a few mistakes in a number of other jobs, but you really can't when you are estimating a construction project.
I'm not even sure how some mistakes were made. One was really a bad over sight on my part. Another one was due to being rushed. The other project that they said I did something wrong with, I haven't a clue what went wrong there.
I hate feeling like I can't even count. But it is more than just that. It only hurts as much as it does, because I was starting to feel like I was making it. I don't think I made the same mistakes twice, and since I was leaning just about everything for the first time, I was slightly proud of myself at times.
So I went in Monday afternoon to pick up my last check and go home with Nardi. The girl that recommended me for the job in the first place.
I was just making the joke last week Friday that I pulled enough over time to be able to buy myself a new dress. Now it looks like I will have to save that for Office Management school. It's too late to start this semester, but I can apply for the winter one.
At least I got my day out before I had to think of all this.
On Sunday I went over to Governor's Island. I think I may go on Sunday once more. I'll dress better for the occasion. I looked like a disaster last time. Also, I was so late getting there, that I missed most of the events. I'm trying to shake up my stay at home body. Even if I have no one to do all this with. Why? People do stuff until they find people to do stuff with. It's just that events are just about never shown as a solo even. Everyone has friends that have the same time off to do things together all the time.
This time when I go out my cam will be fully charged and I can get some more pics. I just got a scant few of flowers, a telephone type sculpture and the Statue of Liberty. :)
Ok.
I'm doing ok and I'm moving on.

What's the story behind the traditional haircut associated with monks?
This was a question I found myself asking myself today. It just came to me.
Well I went on line and found this answer. It seems to be coming from a cathlic site. There will be link at the bottom.
Mostly it's it got started so far back, they can only guess as to why, but it was adopted easy enough and now it's a given thing that is also some kind of status thing.
For the list of how it could have come about. check the link. :) Oh, the hair cut actually has a name. Tonsure.

Two More Movies
I have been to the movies twice since Maleficent.
The first one being How To Train Your Dragon Two. and the one this week was Earth To Echo.
I liked them both. I think I go to them before all the spoilers gave away too much. That is one of there reasons I choose to watch the Dragon movie last week. I think that turned out to be it's last week there.
I also watched it 3D too. Despite what Spiderman did to my sight in 3D form, it worked a lot better here. I guess there was less fast movements all over the place. I had issues trying to follow all that before it was placed in 3D.
Earth to Echo was good too. I have been trying to see some examples of guys being guys for my writing, they were a bit on the young side, but it was interesting to see how they reacted and interacted.
Ok people. I'm falling asleep here.
I'll try and talk to you again soon, but it won't be from my phone any time soon. I paid $50 on it yesterday, but my mom was like a month if not two behind, so today when I tried to call and let people know I was running 10 mins late, my phone told me that I could only make emergency calls. That sucks.
Later. Really.
