I'm interested in the time lapse, I fail to see what's wrong with a video of the first days of site prep on one of the biggest projects in Calgary right now. Then again, I'm a SimCity / city building fan and launched a career based on my love for that game, so this stuff excites me.
Would you rather there be no video? That would be even more boring (beaten only by a time lapse of an accountant or computer programmer at work, or paint drying haha).

I want a time lapse video of the person creating the time lapse video.
What I would give to watch a time lapse video of you watching the time lapse video of them creating the time lapse video. Shivers.
I would like to watch your reaction video of watching that. Don't forget to include a thumbnail with your jaw wide open and a shocked look on your face.

Lol what an underwhelming video. Got rid of a parking lot and pushed some dirt around -- queue the inspirational music and timelapse, pats on the back for everyone!
Phoenix wishes they had a video like that.

I worked construction for years going through University and I've never seen a shovel that shiny.
Fake news.
You've worked construction, too!?!? In addition to working as an accountant, a forest ranger and at the Greyhound bus depot? I've figured it out, you're really Mike Rowe, aren't you?

You forgot Dishwasher, Line Cook, Canadian Tire Auto Parts...and I havent even told you guys about the Leisure Centers...I've had a lot of jobs in my life.
I even worked as a Lineman for the County fixing cell phone towers. Though that didn't last long.
I've had lots of jobs.
It builds character.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.

Oh man...my years in construction during Calgary's boom years in the mid 2000s? The insane crap I could tell you about would astonish you.
That was a wild time.
"Sir...where is your hard hat and fall protection??"
- Do you want this deck built or not?
"Carry on....I saw nothing."

Canadian Tire Auto Parts? Oh man, you're giving me nightmare flashbacks. As a 17-year-old I got a job at Canadian Tire and they put me in auto parts - despite knowing nothing about auto parts - because I aced the "IQ test" portion of the job application process. Trying to find parts that you've never heard of and had no idea where they were located on a vehicle and I somehow had to find the correct micro-fiche slide that had the part for their particular vehicle. One of my worst jobs ever.

Oh that job sucked ASS.
First of all...nobody knew what they were talking about. I at least had built a race car. I'd built a motor, I'd done vehicular work fine, but I'm no mechanic.
"Hey how do I rebuild my transmission?"
Uh...by paying someone who knows WTF they're doing?
But everyone...every single person who came to the counter starts at what I called 'Stage 10 Pissed.'
Because their car is broken and its going to cost them money and this idiot kid behind the counter doesnt know what he's talking about BECAUSE HE'S NOT A GODDAMNED MECHANIC!
"Tell me what I need to fix my car and how to do it because I'm going to buy the parts and do it myself regardless of the fact that I have no idea what I'm doing."
- Are you fooling with me right now? You dont fix those brakes properly and somebody's gonna have a bad day....do you even know how to bleed a brake line?
God that job sucked.
The mechanics were ass holes, the managers were idiots its was just a complete clownshow from start to finish.
I remember my last day and they were sad to see me go because I was one of their 'best employees' and I thought...I dont care about this place at all. If I'm one your best employees who genuinely couldnt care less about this place...you got problems.
Oh! And one of my favourites?
"The cardboard compacter is jammed, climb in there and jump around to break it all up!"
- Are you funnin' me son? Hell to the f'in NO. You jump into the giant goddamned compactor and break it up yourself. Or let Evel Knievel do it. I dont make enough money to climb into a cardboard compactor. So....no.

My first job was at Canadian Tire. I also got fired. I was working in the garden center and some random lady told the manager that I grabbed a hose and started spraying her with it. Never happened and I didn't see anything like that happen, but she was soaked. My best guess is that some kid was playing around in there and did it, and she saw me there and thought it was me that did it. I remember walking home after totally confused about the whole situation. It was a crappy place to work anyway.
