Expectations Miscalculated
Well, this has been a lot harder and more frustrating than imagined. I'm sure things will be fine in a little while, but right now it sucks. sometimes 14+hr workdays, no time to eat, and not a lot of support from anyone knowledgable (sp?). Now I know what the phrase 'thrown to the wolves' is reffering to.

Sorry it's been a rough start. I remember all to well the killer-long workdays. The nice thing in New Jersey was how willing people were to give you tips, or to at least feed you when they were sitting down to a meal themselves.
So how many installs have you done so far? Are you one of the company's top five installers yet?
A few people have tipped, or fixed something to eat while I was there, but it seems to be the exception rather than the rule. As for number of installs I'm probably sitting around 20-25. My biggest problem is getting started on a particular project but forgetting some essential tool on the other side of the house. If I would just bring everything to where I am I could start shaving alot of time off.
I'm sorry to hear about it, too. Go fight win, friend. How's the ward? Are you meeting lots of great new people? That makes things more bearable when you are surrounded by awesome people.
