just one more (of many) frustrations...
no surprise here. I look at the past 12 hours of production on the stalag's 'puter and notice no one came in on first shift. there's 8 (plus) hours of production that wasn't made up. looks like 3rd shift is taking on the burden alone. then, to top it all off, no one shows up for first shift again when it's time for the morning shift change!
?! in other words 3rd had to come in both Saturday and Sunday (Friday night, and Saturday night), and first shift had the complete weekend off. why do we gotta shoulder all the burden?! I don't bother asking my boss knowing his reasoning wouldn't satisfy a real answer. I guess I simply gotta laminate a picture of a shrimpy bat-mobile, then every time I feel the angst (that work often produces), pull it out and look at it. sort of trying to tame my own emotions with a set goal in mind, instead of always griping about things I can't change *plan*currently, 'across the way Jay' plays frisbee with Adam out in the street, in front of my place, pretty much mocking the fact that they're both enjoying time off from work (Jay has a good 6 week lay-off, and Adam is out due to his Schizophrenic episode), meanwhile, I gotta go back to sleep, once this dog is done peeing, so I can enjoy yet another annoying stint at the stalag *pulls an imaginary laminated picture of a shrimpy bat-mobile from my minds pocket*
so, just minutes after I type the above, I notice my silly ol' dog hadn't budged from the spot on the porch, indicating that she hadn't yet peed , so I try and coax her off the porch with some sharp cheddar pieces (she loves her sharp cheddar!), when someone pulls into the drive. it's Jim, one of the guys I went fishing with in the U.P. a couple years ago (I'm sure I wrote about it...it was big fun!). we quick catch up on what's goin' on with one another, then he explains his kid had just bought the trailer across the way for a dollar
(they can't hardly give these metal boxes away, even though they're the cheapest living in town). that's cool! I know Jay picked his place up for free, but it needed a lot of work after sitting empty for years. anywho. back to sleep so I can be an alive night owl at the smoke factory.
