You know.....I normally love snow. I'm the first to get excited and giddy over how pretty the world look s with snow in it. I am now at a point though that I really want the snow to go away and have some spring and warm weather. I get out of work today at 12:30......I have a bazillion things I want to do and I don't want the snow to either slow me ( Read more... )

Today was much better......not so deer caught in the headlights today. I worked with only one person as opposed to spending time being trained by several. I worked on only 2 or 3 parts as opposed to many and checked them repeatedly and played with them on the comparator by myself as opposed to constant supervision.

Some things about today were good. Some of the dimension reading was making more sense....I need to relearn reading specs and blueprints. Other things about today started stressing me.

This morning stared good. Instead of the start of the shift being 6:30 I had to start at 7 today because office people are not there until then. After today though I'll be starting at 6:30.

It doesn't feel real that this is my last week at Calibre. The other day I took all the cds I lug to work and back everyday out of the big case, found their respective cases and put them away. Exacto doesn't let you listen to music at work. I also got bored when we ran out of work at one point and took the opportunity to clean most of my stuff out ( Read more... )

Friday: I got paid...would've been more joyous had I been in a better mood but I went and smothered my nervousness in sushi...so that was fun. It was laundry night and while I was doing that I crossed paths with Jerry online. That brightened my day. We had a great talk and I felt better ( Read more... )

I have decided to keep my 2 weeks notice at calibre. My last day is saturday. I've talked to several people since Friday afternoon and almost all of them understand why I want to leave. I'm stagnating.....certain things and people really irritate me.......I've tired of overtime....the irritations will still be there if I stay, I'll just be getting ( Read more... )

Awhile back at work management decided that they were going to revamp how the company pays its employees and they call it the role definition project.

Nobody thought ( Read more... )
