snow comming - so what

Ok so this was to be the mother of all storms this year, and what happens not much. My issue with this is not that people called out the day before, or even people calling in the morning saying they did not want to risk coming in for one reason or another. it is that the people who come in saying how much they like the snow and can drive through anything but with nothing on the ground they call out because it is toooo hazardous. Can anyone explain this, I call it "look at me" issues. but don't say a word about this. Now I am sure that there will be plenty of people who will talk about it for the next 2 days, but then again I guess they think they are entitled to do so.

But now the fun starts, on Monday what actually happens is this. Monday morning the people that were not there are going to come in finding that some of the things that they have been milking for weeks are done. Some of the other items they were supposed to get to are also done. so what they are going to actually do is make a mountain out of a mole hill if they find a period missing. oh well, I love bad weather as it shows the people that want to work for the best of the company than people that just want the paycheck.

so what do you think about this? I would love to hear some opinions.

Sunday night-are you ready for a new week

So it is Sunday night and I am getting ready for a new week. I wonder how many employees actually sit down and think about the week coming. You might be sitting back and asking why I get ready for the coming week. I will give you a hint, it is the same reason I go into the office over the weekend, and that is because first thing Monday morning someone will without doubt ask me a question that will take until noon to get to the end of. So it is not so much preparing for the week but trying to stay ahead of the curve.

So the typical Sunday night means thinking about what curve balls are coming, what might happen in order to not be surprised when something does go wrong. Then there is thinking about what reports need to get done and if I can should let others work on the draft or if I should get them to the point where the only thing that people need to do is upkeep. It is also dealing with suppliers in other parts of the world to make sure we can hit the ground running in the morning.

I should really get back to preparing for the week. I hope everyone has had a good weekend and enjoy the week.

Take care.

the begining

So I have been throwing the idea of starting this for a while. I am finally doing it. I do hope that in the future I will be able to give advice, have guest authors and even dare I say it have some fun venting about the day to day life on how stupid and idiotic this world has become!

so start reading and have some fun. a wise man once said "life is serious business if you do not lighten up you will not make it out alive" if you can relate great if not ... oh well.

I will be on here 3-4 times a week writing about things I do and things I see, stories about people I intercat with. I can tell you it will be mostly true, I will change names, titles and companies. but really how funny is life it self, you can not really make some of this stuff up.
