We do a weekly newsletter that we send out by email to all my family. In her contribution to the newsletter, my mum made mention about my dad and his work.<\/p>\n

My dad works in construction and when he started with a new company earlier this spring, he was made project supervisor. In his new position, he oversees an entire project from start to finish. It is a lot less physical work for him, and as he gets older, the less physical work, the better.<\/p>\n

Their current project is completely redoing a lecture hall on the campus of BCIT<\/a>. The project includes everything from cement to walls to carpet.<\/p>\n

The project deadline is in roughly a week and my dad has never missed a deadline. Unfortunately, some of the workers aren?\u00a2\u201a\u00c7\u00a8\u201a\u00d1\u00a2t producing the work my dad expects, so he has been spending many nights lately putting in overtime to tidy up the work. Last week, he put in 74 hours?\u00a2\u201a\u00c7\u00a8\u201a\u00c4\u00f9that?\u00a2\u201a\u00c7\u00a8\u201a\u00d1\u00a2s more than double my regular workweek.<\/p>\n

My dad?\u00a2\u201a\u00c7\u00a8\u201a\u00d1\u00a2s an amazing guy. Not only has he taught me to work hard, but he?\u00a2\u201a\u00c7\u00a8\u201a\u00d1\u00a2s also taught me to do a job right.<\/p>\n

Here?\u00a2\u201a\u00c7\u00a8\u201a\u00d1\u00a2s hoping they meet the deadline.<\/p>\n
