Safety boots are annoying, I must say. Useful? Sure. Irritating to lace? You bet. Especially since, like any self-respecting gay man, i picked out my boots based on how they looked, instead of how easy they are to put on. Blundstone makes safety boots and I would love a pair for days like today.

What exactly is a day like today? Well, this morning, after finally getting to sleep at 3:45 AM, I woke up promptly at 5:30 AM and got on my way to the Coastal asphalt in Lorneville.

My primary duty here is to make sure the guy whose primary duty is to make “here” run doesn’t do anything illegal. Apparently, it’s better to pay two people to do one person’s job than to fire one inept employee. Never knew.

I’m not sure what time I’ll be out of here tonight, really. I think my best hope of getting home early would be a nice rain storm. Or some sort of Terminator-esque nuclear holocaust.

On the bright side, this isn’t nearly as boring as standing still on Harbour Passage for fifteen hours. So things could be worse. But Blundstone safety boots would definitely make them better.
