In case you don't know what SNAFU is, it is an acronym that means Situation Normal All Fucked Up. I did not create this acronym. It has been around for many years. Today, I am at work, sitting in the dump truck, at the Green Grove Subdivision in Alberta, Alabama. The company that I work for (ST Bunn) is milling and repaving the entire subdivision. At first, they were only going to mill a few inches down, and then repave it.
But! Upon repaving the road, it started to weaken. There are weak spots and cracks and ruts and divots all through the newly paved road. So, now the company has to mill all the way down to the dirt. Yes! That's right! All of the road has to be removed and replaced. All the way down to the dirt. And, just like every other residential community, there are manholes in the road so that sewage and rain drainage can be maintained.
Here is where it gets very interesting. As the milling machine is milling out all of the pavement, down to the dirt, the machine hits a manhole. And I'm thinking to myself, why didn't they mark the manhole with bright paint? So that they would be able to see the manhole as the machine is approaching it?
Yeah, I don't know either 🤔
So now, we sit here, and wait for them to replace the manhole with a new manhole. This is going to take some time. But, here is some really good news! I'm on the clock. Yep! I'm getting paid to sit here and do nothing. But, this gives me plenty of time to think about what my video is going to be about.
Yes, I am making a video for YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Facebook Reels. You want to know what the video is about? Subscribe to this journal, and you will be notified every time that I post something new. And, of course, I will be posting about the video and when it is finished, and what it is about. And.... What the heck! I will even post the video here on my journal. I can do that now. Because, I am not journaling on paper anymore. I have transitioned to the digital world in journaling. The digital age. If you can't beat them, join them. I'm only joking, of course. I acclimated into online blogging and journaling, a long time ago. And, I have become very familiar with the internet, social media, and content creation. I am a member of a lot of membership websites. Although, I do not have enough time to keep up with all of them. But, that is for another journal entry.
