I am tired

I am tired of looking at and counting ceiling tiles

I'm sorry, , , , I hear counting sheep works , , , personally I have a white noise machine that helps.
 
This year has been very busy for me until about last week. I'm tired too but am enjoying the down time.
 
I'm more worried why cda is counting ceiling tiles, I don't have those at home..........travelling? Hospital?
 
Counting flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all. Playing solitaire till dawn, with a deck of 51. Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo, now don't tell me, I've nothing to do.
 
Don't let me play cards any more, but very accomplished at thumb twilding. Currently working on the left handed version.

Did get some news of 7 more housing starts and possible couple of four plexs after the first of the year. Should be busy for a few days next year.
 
Addressing the alternative route the thread has taken……..

Maybe try to diversify (if practical or feasible) and get together with other inspection officials within the jurisdiction and do some spot/surprise inspections on public assembly, apartment complexes, business and industrial. In tough times the fire guys/gals could most likely use the extra set of eyes especially when verifying fire protection system maintenance schedules within facilities. One can gain another perspective on the troubles faced after a C of O is issued……just saying.

Partnerships and team playing can keep you active in down times also……just saying.
 
In progressive working enviornments it can indeed be a "dandy idea". Many jurisdictional ordinances allow "code" officials to partake in the enforcement of codes adopted through ordinace. No different then filling in for vacations provided the official is certified as applicable. No need to play cards and fudge on daily activity reporting.......just saying.
 
I'm tuning up my computer records and getting my reporting together for end of year (already) and studying for two certs I'd like to have (or at least I'd like to know the info)
 
FM could not agree more. We took over fire inspections from the FD 16 months ago and it is an eye opener. We find things that where installed by the owner after the CO that where never on the plans or accounted for in the design such as electric locks that are not connected to the sprinkler alarm system or shelving racks that are not seismically attached. It also kept 1 inspector from loosing his job and allowed him and another to get a pay raise when they got the fire inspector certs.
 
I am tired too. I've been having dreams where you wake up screaming consecutively for the past week. I don't understand, it started right after I put these dream stones that are supposedly supposed to help keep bad dreams away and help you get a calm relaxing sleep. I don't think that's the reason but it's kind of weird. But yeah I'm tired and bored as heck.

What are these dream stones of which you speak? Did you actually pay money for these dream stones?

Count yourself lucky; I've been waking to the sounds of my own screams for the better part of my life.

Or do what the rest of us do:

1. Take some stones and place in a bag.

2. Swing bag in a circle and aim at the forehead.

3. Wake up with a bad dream of hitting yourself in the forehead with a bag of stones.

4. Find out it wasn't a dream after all.
