Heros of Hard Work

We here at Blue Sky have found ourselves in the all too common place we call crunch time. People are working 14 hour days, their shots are getting changed multiple times at the last minute, children are crying women shutter in horror (and then get promptly back to work) and I haven't bought groceries or done laundry in 3 weeks. Crunch is a crazy thing. People don't sleep.... they put on weight, they dis-guard all after work activities in order to get the work done!

I just wanted to take a second while we are all thinking about the last time we saw the sun and mention some things I forget. I have a tendency to think that I am the only one working hard.Well, there is a long line of other people in other professions who are getting things done with as much passion and dedication as we are!

Take a second and appreciate this photo. Trains are heavy! and bridges are usually built over cold water! I'll bet the dudes that built this sucker worked hard!




What!? The Parthenon!? I can't imagine! And what a result! It's still hangin out, right there.

I remember flying for the first time and seeing this kind of stuff from the air. Mind Blown! What is that?!? How did they...? wow. The execution is incredible, let alone the engineering of such a colossal puzzle piece.

So, when I start thinking about how little free time I have, it always helps to remember how incredible the results will be. Even is no one notices.
