Ouch.....that's going to leave a mark.



Good luck! (You're not going to get mad again if they don't see / saw the shed are you?

 

Mornin' All!

Someone needs to hang one of them smelly trees in here. Smells as bad as my office around here......At least there's coffee.

 

Black and red beans! slow cooked with the meat and spices..
mmmm mmmm good!!!

If yall want to try something that will really fill your methane tanks, Ill send ya some of the BOSS's 15 bean and ham-hock soup..tastes great, but a few hours later, you'll be able to peel paint off the walls...

Not much happening this way, got the new axle installed on the trailer, now trying to get the brakes adjusted properly...
Ive decided to start looking for a new job, dont think me and the National Guard Police are seeing eye to eye anymore..
Got arbitrarily moved to afternoon shifts, with Tuesdays/Wednesdays as my only days off, I will work all holidays and weekends....our new manager has told me that seniority will no longer be considered for shifts, hours, promotions, etc..Ive been there since 9/11/01, and its funny how all her cronies who have less than a year -two years on the job are now working days, Mon-Fri....... so time to move on, as soon as I can find something else... shame too, I had just vested in the retirement plan!

Oh well...

 

Sorry to hear that Chris. But, you work in a field that has plenty of demand. I'm sure you'll find something.


Fairbanks PD is almost always hiring...... 20* and a light dusting of snow this AM..... Your favorite weather......

 

wet and cold down here been raining since early a.m. gonna have to get my water wings out if it dont stop by this afternoon

 

Yeh, same down here. Snow was just very light and swirling around as it came down. And it is quite cold - - 60 degrees out there in the lanai. Hey, wait a minute - - that isn't snow - - what is that stuff?? Oh, its ashes - - doing a burn in the state park next door. Oh well, I tried.

Hey Chris - - I know we can get discouraged sometimes, but don't blow a good job just because of management change. People come and people go. Think of the long haul. Sorry about the circumstances, but give yourself some time to think about it and feel it out before doing something you will be sorry for doing. Play it cool and smart. Put your feelers out and stay cooperative and upbeat where you are. You will need a recommendation if you leave - - don't dirty the dishes.
