Birthday week | Day in the life RCD


Hello RCD readers,

Today is my first day back to work. I had a birthday week that didn't go as planned. Meaning most plans cancelled. And unnecessary extra cost in my personal life. 

Last week of April
Last week I actually celebrating my anniversary with my sweetheart this week. So I'll give a recap of how last week of April went. Because birthday week didn't go as planned but my anniversary did.

Swimming pool project 

Last week of April began with the design meeting for corrections of a freelance project. This project is for a swimming pool which I didn't design. I got lost driving to the location. So I'm ashamed that it happened to me.



Respect with different facades of the designing and building process.
You see my freelance employer is going to be the company for the building licence and he hired me for the detailed construction drawings. He is hired by a company that builds and designs swimming pool concepts. But for some weird reason they outsourced the building process to my freelance employer. Now what are my tasks. 
- decipher the designer's his concept
- find a civil engineer to do the calculations 
- draw the construction drawings 

Now where does the respect go south.
My freelance employer is for some reason being looked down upon for this project. And my freelance employer sees the design drawings that I made and the calculations that the civil engineer made as a suggestions. Their is the non respect. And when things don't go smooth I get the you are the designer you should be able to make the drawings without my input. Which sounds funny because I'm being paid as a drafter for this project. This means my input will not be used nor acknowledged.

So I worked Tuesday and Wednesday full days to correct their changes. I listened to what they had to say. 

Of course while doing this I had busy days :
- doctor appointment for mom
- medicine prescription and get medicine 
- wash my car
- babysit 
- buy bathroom tap
- fix my car keys

But with never stopping and working over hours I finished my work by Wednesday night.

Potential new project 
I have a potential project. This is about a studio complex. This is my fourth time designing a studio complex because I'm not scared of new things and I'm slowly learning more about this branch.  Multifamily residential homes. 

Managing yearly car duties 
I have to do my yearly car inspection. And I can see how much I've spent this month. Makes me want to cry but I feel great. I can check off everything for my car off the list for this year. The leaking for the faucets are history. And I finally can celebrate my anniversary like we used to do. So I feel great. 

About Last week/ First week of May

Last week began with the word Covid swirling around. Some actually having it and some using it as an excuse. But we'll leave that up to God people. 

Saying goodbye with the plan and trying to find some normalcy
The weekend began with no contact from my father and my brother feeling sick. My spidey senses "shit was about to go down".  With family members sick and my birthday around  the corner. Cancelling was the right thing to do.

Project's on hold rising up when I need a break
Last week a couple of on hold projects finally contacted. And some are surprisingly happy that like they actually did something when they didn't do jack what was agreed. So what was my response. A very nice mail or message " I will not be responding this week. I'm not home. See you back next week." And funny it worked. But I thought that I would get a laid back week but I got a buy different stuff cause shit is breaking week, a find out where poly is week and let's get the most adulting week to a almost 33 year on her birthday week.

Find an ultimatum in every form of life.
Choosing what you want in life and what is possible but most of all just leaving the nonsense of people stupidity to God.. Blessed Child of God...
