What does he do?

Well it's day three of me camped out on the couch with my faithful box of Kleenex's. I feel like I've been hit by a truck. No fever though!!!

It's nice school was canceled today. What a great week to get the flu. I've been home three days, but only one counts as a personal/sick day.

Randy got to stay home this morning too! The roads were treacherous. I would know because I was up at 5 am listening to my faithful KXAN. Thanks news team!

He was working at home, and I was glad I got a glimpse into his profession.

To be honest, I have no idea what Randy does at work.

I mean I know his trade. But when people ask me about it, I just say, "He's a civil engineer."

Curious or nerdy people always want to know more..."What type of engineering does he do?"

Umm...civil kind??

This is where I speak really really fast and use big words. People just tend to nod when I do this. Thus stopping the interrogation. Thank you God for giving me a healthy vocabulary.

But today, I know a little more by eavesdropping on his business call.

"Hi, I'm calling from Austin, Texas, and I was hoping to talk to so and so about sewage hydraulic systems."


Umm gross!

Who would have thought Randy deals with poop! Well not actual poop. But I never really thought about it. Where does all the world's poop actually go? Somebody has to design something hydraulicy to move that stuff away from ending up in your back yard.

And that somebody is Randy!

Thanks Randy!

I'm sure when/if he reads this post, he'll take thirty minutes to explain how wrong I am in my assessment of his work duties. But sewer to me means poop!

Once again, thank a civil engineer today. They design roads, water pipes, bridges, and sewage pipes.

Who knew I had one of those right under my nose?

Haha get it, sewage, nose?

Oh...I got to get out of this house!
