Changing the Roles

   Starting another shift tomorrow morning. I had a good turn around. Got a few things done, caught up on a few other chores. Good times indeed. Next set of days off I hope to paint my laundry room and then that room is finally over with. Finally. Plumbing.....it’s stupid. But I got it figured out and I basically re-did the copper in my bathroom. It’s beaut now. Looks real pro like. No more leaks!!

One thing that kind suscks is there really isn’t a lot of time for formal training. Its like life has just altered course a wee bit. Still the same direction, but, just different.  Weird, I know, but, it’s cool to see. My path has stayed the same, feed and house, but it’s different now. More so, my wives career has stepped into the light and it really feels like it’s time to watch her flourish. I just get that feeling from the universe.

With her stepping into larger roles along her path, the kids need attention, from me, I never really had to worry about. On my days off, I’m the primary kids watcher. Days on, wife’s busy, but, not as busy, she gets her break, and then just cuts loose when I’m not working. Seeing, how, my schedule will not be changing for an extended period of time, it’s easy for her to schedule meetings and such, knowing when I’ll be at work. I hope she sees her potential and runs with it! That’d be neato.

Anyhow.  Yup that’s it-a-roo!

Talk to ya

     Another shift is in the books. Fricken nights, I just don’t like them. Anyhow, it’s part of the job. Haven’t slept in a few days and when I do, it’s not that great of a sleep. Well, it’s over with, that’s the main thing.

    Works going well, I’ve, defiantly made an impact there, that’s for sure. You know, my employee review is coming up quickly, like my next set, and I’m looking forward to it. I’ve never had an employee review, I always let my work stand as an example of what kind of worker I am. Pedal to the metal and no clutch! That’s not exactly what these guys want to see. They want to see speed and efficiency, and I make very few mistakes now. There’s nothing complicated or hard about this job, it’s merly figuring out the process.  I was told that I do need to slow down, but, I’m not missing any steps. So, no, I won’t. I will continue to push hard and work like a demon and when I run outta things to do, I go work and learn from the journeyman. I want an apprenticeship and sweeping floors is a part of it, but, if I can already figure out how this stuff goes together and comes apart, I’m miles ahead of where I should be.

    I set out goals for myself when I first started this new job, and I’m emitter on track or surpassing my own expectations. That’s nice, it’s a good feeling

   Another cool note, one of the j-man, said to me, “it would be a shame for these guys to not give you an apprenticeship. You’re one of the hardest working guys I’ve ever met.” Hey that was cool. At least the crew recognizes what I try to do for them. It’s not often they have to look for me to ask me to get something ready for them. I. Usually waiting for them with stands and components ready to go. They ask, “you know, in an hour or so, can I have this stuff?” And before they know it, I’ve flooded them with components and cleaned up the old mess, and broken down boxes and shits ready to go. I get the wow, thanks man, and I move on to the next j-man! Winning! I win here, I win there, I win everywhere!!

Anyhow, time to do stuff!

I’ll talk at you soon!
