Thread: Journey to Success

Tom, Sounds pretty much like I've been told. And I love crab legs. Don't usually get them here unless I can find an all you can eat place. When my brother comes down for a visit we usually try to do that.

I think things are starting to calm down a bit at work, just hope that continues. They are moving the whole area around, its a real mess at the moment, like working in a construction zone. I hope all these changes they are making are all going to be for the better. I am keeping an open mind while everyone else is complaining constantly. It's not doing them any good though. They are determined to change the way we do business. Better to support them to be negative all the time. Well it's almost 3:30 am, gotta go get ready for work.

Have a good day!

Nita, Our company has this rotation system, and every 2 years if not before they change all the bosses and move them somewhere else within the company and the same with upper management. I just laugh and tell everyone that we change bosses almost as much as our underwear. Last year I had 3 boss changes and then again last month. Can't wait to see what this year will bring.

Hope the rest of your week goes well also!

Tom, Ah, another boss, hope you don't talk as much as mine does. I work for a defense contractor. With that said you can pretty much figure out what sort of work we do. I am a group lead, meaning that I lead, guide and instruct employees how to do their jobs, work through issues reading prints, processes, etc. When I'm not busy doing that then I am usually building something, doing repairs or ecn changes, and of course dealing with the boss.

Nita, You are right, the rank and file usually end up doing the training. Everytime I get a new boss, I try to make sure he or she knows everything I know, but if they want to be stubborn then I just back off and let them hit a brick wall, then they start asking questions. For the most part they pretty much leave me along except when they are pushing to get things out the door. Which right now we have so much work on the floor that everything's hot and everyone wants it yesterday. Guess that's why I work so much overtime. Sometimes I wish I worked in a smaller place, but I've got too many years in to start over now.

Hope you all have a good evening!

Yes, I was pretty much lazy this weekend. After working yet another Sat, I just sat around and relaxed and did bunches of nothing. Now that I'm rested I am sure it will be a long, long week with loads to do.

Nita, I don't know when things will slow down at work. My boss had the day off yesterday. Vacation time for us! But he called twice, worried about stuff. So I guess he can't even rest himself on his days off. But it was a good day yesterday, today shoulld be good also, have to work, but onlyh 6 hours. Then I am going to Venice to see my Mother. Have some other relatives in town that I haven't seen in a while so it's time for a visit. Should be fun.

Tom, for a while there I though I was going to "check out", but not in a good way. Glad that I finally got that back together.

Hope you have a great weekend, enjoy!
