Last night was a tough time for me. I had to fire my first employeee. Although it was his own doing it still affected me. I really liked the guy as a person but his job performance was way below what it should of been. He was really hired (by the previous night manager) to move the trucks around. The only problem with that was he didn't have a ( Read more... )

This is a very rare day....it's Monday and I'm awake this early! We were able to get home early yesterday from work. Of course the shift started at 6 a.m.! Bless those holidays! That was tough for "us" night owls! Half the crew came in still asleep! Of course after all those days off nobody felt like working. We still got the job done and in ( Read more... )

Christmas is a time of family. Wonderful friends. Genuine love. This Christmas we decided to stay at home. This would of been a very rough time for me if not for our "adopted" family. We started the season by going to Tim & Rick's annual Christmas party. What can I say guys....we had a wonderful time! Thanks to everyone for making us feel ( Read more... )

I made it through another week of work! It's starting to get a little easier. At least I'm getting used to being up all night. That was tough. When I was staying at home I stayed on David's schedule which meant I went to bed at 8:00 p.m ( Read more... )

I know...it's been awhile since I have added to my journal. This "work" thing interferes with a lot of my personal stuff! I've had a busy week though. First....the deck is finally finished! Thanks to Crystal, John, Evan and Justin! Dad and I really appreciate and love you guys! It is soooooo nice to come home now! I don't have to crawl in ( Read more... )

I made it through my first week at work and I'm still able to move! I am sore though. It's amazing how all your muscle tone leaves you after just a few months. I think we did a pretty good job this week too! There were some late nights but we didn't get a lot of complaints about mistakes. We'll see what next week brings ( Read more... )

Well, I just finished my second day on the job! At least it was better than the first....but then....I don't think it could of been any worse! My first day I got there at 12:30 p.m. and FINALLY got home at 5:30 a.m.!!!! What a night. I must say, it was a tough one. Tonight went much smoother. I was a little more back in the swing of things.

Well, I'm going back to work today (tonight). I have to go in at 1:00 p.m. and work until everything is finished. It figures I would start on the busiest night of the week! Oh well....I should be well rested! I spoke with David this morning and it seems that Miss Lou is having a REAL BIG PROBLEM with me coming back! This should be real fun! ( Read more... )

Another year has passed for David. It's his birthday today! I have to do something special for him today. I'm not sure what it will be yet though! Nothing like waiting until the last possible minute! It happens like this every year though. I get so caught up in Christmas and Thanksgiving plans that it just sneaks right up on me! He says it's ( Read more... )

It's the day after the big turkey day. No I'm not out shopping! I'm sure that my being a female and all, that's hard to understand! I think I was born without that bargain shopping gene! Actually, I just don't handle crowds well ( Read more... )
