Often times there are small happenings in the job that redeem the early bed times, no sleep, lack of seeing/talking to friends, wearing high visibility gear, making any plans, or going to bed at the same time with my wife.
I am talking in addition to the weekly paycheck.
This one in particular was hanging off the back of the truck as we crested Telegraph Hill to see the sunrise over the Oakland hills, coloring the bay gold and orange. There was a time in my life (early 20's) that I had a hard-on for the occasional sunrise. I would take pictures, thank life for happening etc. now a days I am just "pumped!" to have a job of this caliber. I am also equally "pumped!" that this particular job can be so punishing on occasion because I lack motivation and self discipline and having the invisible drill sargent of responsibility in the back of my head places one foot in front of the other is a good tool for one such as myself.
"Pumped!"? you say?
yeah, I say.

The Taco Bell bean burrito is an excellent source of motivation for 360flips. Sunrise and work can be substituted in this situation.
