That's a WHOLE lot of work Mike. Is it something you can just leave at work though? My job runs in my head far too often and I really want to put it all aside when I leave here.
yes..My time is my time..I leave my work here when I walk out the gate..Oh..I get an occasional phone call but not many..I'm not a supervisor..I'm more of a "jack of all trades"..I take care of lots of things nobody else wantss to take responsibility for. My supervisor apprecaites the things i do and is pretty flexible as far as my schedule and what i need to do for Caleigh. he leaves me alone so I like the job. I have an office but also work out in the warehouse, production areas, outside..I'm my own boss really..though I do report to a pertson...

That's wonderful. Sounds like my dream job. No one nagging at me when I'm doing my danged job. That would be most pleasant.
well..lets not get carried away..it's not a dream job but i do have it good and know it. I get called and ask to take care of things that some incompetant people overlook..I also have to deal with some pretty stupid stuff coming from grown adults..
there will be a few problems to iron out when my buddy retires..he was my vacation relief and I get 6 weeks vacation a year..and after Dec. 1st I'm looking at no relief..at least no plan is in place yet to relieve me..I can work around a day at a time vacation but If I'm off a week I need someone here who knows what is happening or I'll get slammed when I get back..
sometimes my job is slow..sometimes it's fast paced..Monday's can be rough..most wednesdays suck, tuesday and thursdays are scheduling production days..most of the time I make my fridays good.. when I bust my ass the other days..
been here 23 years..and I'm only 44.. and with a 2 yr old..I have a long row to hoe before I can retire..
Happiness at work is a blessing Mike. I have great work buddies, it keeps me going and the job is ok. I appreciate there is a lot worse so that thought keeps me going. also, pretty flexible re hours so I also knock off early to have my boys twice a week. It all helps
Just wanted to stop by and say hello, and you are right, it was a different Nicholas who did Smoke Jumper. Nicholas Evans, not Nicholas Sparks...oops!
That darn movie is sticking with me today.....I know you said not to see that other one (Rodanthe) so I will hold off....
By the way,
How YOU doin???
Yep..those movies tend to hang with you a while..as a matter of fact I read some of the script on your thread and it's all I can do to read it. It makes me spin a bit..I've been having some dreams lately...due to the holidays I'm sure. I have moments BBJ..like "flashes" they are really short lived. Sometimes they are sad..sometimes they just make me wonder & question..sometimes they make me mad. There are some sitches here that I really think about hard, 3 in particuliar, and I wish I could talk to the WAS involved..just to let them see from someone else..what this is, what it does...how it can break an LBS to nothing and the LBS can find it in themselves to keep going..to not give up.. most times
I'm too much in my head today as you can see but I'm actually well. I'm living life as best I can and having fun...PMA is pretty high and seems I now look for the positives in things rather than focusing on the negatives like "old" Mike used to..
and BBJ..Rodanthe will just be a little too close to home for you..I don't recommend it for anyone posting here..actually...it's good, it's very sad and the scenery is beautiful..
I wish my D was done. It irks me that it's not. I believe it's not, due to some upcoming knee surgery Kim is having. She is on my insurance and the deductible is met this year so I'm sure that's why things are being slowed way down..or feel that way anyway..
Hey there! I've been thinking about you today and wondering where you were and why your thread was so quiet. Now I see, you're in your head. That can be a dark and scary place buddy! Sorry about the dreams, they are awful, aren't they?
You say it could be because of the holidays coming up. I understand completely. Please tell me you have a large family to spend Thanksgiving with.
You're probably right about Kim slowing down the D because of the surgery. Really, can you blame her? If that is the only reason then it's all semantics anyway, right.
I'm glad you have found your positive place. That's great! With your help I'm learning to find mine too. Just yesterday at lunch I went to Wal-Mart to pick up some things and when I got to the check-out I was teasing the guy working the register about lounging on the job and I was humming a little while I was swiping my card. He made a comment about me having a beautiful spirit. That was nice. It made me feel good that someone noticed my attempt to be lighthearted yesterday. I wanted to be a walking thundercloud but decided that was useless!
FYI - for BBJ - Don't see Rodanthe and DON'T see The Women either! Rough stuff for us right now! I saw both and nearly became suicidal!

well..work is in my way today too. I've been really busy with work the last two days..My work partner is laying out so I've had it all myself so it's not just my sitch..it's me questioning things actually..my purpose here on this board....everything actually...I'm wondering if this is still "good" for me and If I actually "help" anyone anymore..or if my purpose is just to provide some comic relief..or if it really matters either way..
see what happens when I get in my head??
it's the holidays..it's a trigger...and I know it..and I need to deal with it, move it to the side and progress..
I'm still good..I just think to much sometimes...and wonder..what if??

Mike,
You have helped alot of people here. Either by hitting us with a 2x4 or by giving us a great place to laugh and blow off steam. Look at the people that flock to your threads and ask your advice and care how you are doing. So yes it really does matter if you stay or go.

Holidays are triggers and you know they will be. Hopefully you get to spend a good amout of time with your D she is at a great age for Christmas.
And "what ifs" are just mental masturbation as someone so eloquently put it.
when I bust my ass the other days..
