-=> Quoting Damon A. Getsman to Nancy Backus on 20-Apr-2015 07:58 <=-

 NB>> Now that you are clearly on the project and supplying input, likely
 NB>> there wouldn't be too many glitches in the work showing up... but,
 NB>> true, it's always safer not to put all the eggs in one basket...  :)
 DAG> Well, yeah.  Unfortunately I've landed with all of my eggs in one
 DAG> basket right now, anyway.  If that manager could just like give me the
 DAG> schedule that he puts in the electronic schedule thing, that'd be
 DAG> great.  But he does that, I show up, nobody is there, then they want me
 DAG> to come in on my day off so that we can 'go over the schedule again'. 
 DAG> It's unbelievable.  So I haven't been fired or quit there yet, but I'm
 DAG> not taking any hours until I hear back from corporate or whatever. 
 DAG> This crap is obscene. 

At least the basket the eggs landed in seems to be the more dependable
one.  One does wonder how well the airport location will do, with that
sort of sloppy management...

 DAG>> work today.  Now I've got the proof that I'm able to concentrate on
 DAG>> things well again.  ;)
 NB>> That sounds promising...  :)    And certainly reassuring...  :)
 DAG> We'll see how it goes today.  :)  Had some concentration issues not
 DAG> too long ago, but I've got nothing else to work on and some good vibes
 DAG> to roll with today, so I've got high expectations.

And it's something you know you are (and can be) good at, so that's a
plus, too..  :)

 NB>> I'm sure that your son appreciated your help, too.. ;)
 DAG> Well, a bit, but he's got some learning to do about the value of
 DAG> studying. He got really lucky on that speech; if he tries doing all
 DAG> of them like he did this last one he'll be in trouble when he's
 DAG> beyond 3rd grade. 

Just have to encourage him to do his own work...  and try not to do it
for him.  :)

 DAG> Eh...  Work situations are stressful.  Everything else is good,
 DAG> except finances.  ;)  It all hinges around the work, but all in all
 DAG> I've been very well adjusted despite the burps being thrown all over
 DAG> the place by the place I'm supposed to be getting a paycheck from.

Speaking of which, have you gotten any pay from that foodservice job...? 

 NB>> It's easy to get the jitters when you've been out of the field for a
 NB>> while...  Now you can see that you'll be doing fine, after all.. :)
 DAG> Yeah.  Another guy came in on the project and blew me away with some
 DAG> stuff, so that was a minor hit to the confidence, but I know that it's
 DAG> just because he's got a lot more [and more recent] experience than I
 DAG> do, so it's all good. 

Sounds like it's someone you can learn from, too...  working together on
a project can hone everyone's brains... :)

 NB>> I try not to be TOO verbose... but sometimes there just is a lot to
 NB>> say...  ;)    And I see that this one got fairly long again...  oh,
 NB>> well... ;)
 DAG> As do most of mine.  ;)  I try not to be too verbose any more,
 DAG> either, but then there are times when I just type it all out and don't
 DAG> care.  Whatever works.  

When there's lots to say, there's lots to say, after all... 

 DAG> That's usually a good strategy for family that
 DAG> I've not seen for a long time, I find.  Especially being as I
 DAG> absolutely hate synchronous (ie phone) communications.

If one has to impart a lot of information, written communication works
well...  But when one needs to get information, and it might require a
series of questions/answers in order to get it, phone or face-to-face
works best... at least for me...  :)   Especially if there's any urgency
in getting the info..  :)

 NB>> Mostly out of the fog at the moment... but am about to be off on a
 NB>> trip for most of next week, so I'm sure I'll be way behind again,
 NB>> even though I'm just about caught up for the moment...  ;)
 DAG> I'll be waiting to hear about this.  :)

I mentioned something about it in my replies yesterday, in a different
forum...  ;)

 DAG> Sorry there wasn't a little more in this one, it was written in a
 DAG> bit of a rush before getting my son up for school.  

Understood... life happens, too... ;)
 
 DAG> Hope I didn't bog
 DAG> you down with too much stuff before your trip.  *grin*  I know you
 DAG> were trying to catch up there. Best wishes & have a great trip!

Well, I've been back for a week now, and still not quite caught up...
but that's pretty much what I expected...  I just plod along, and do
what I can, with what time I have... ;)  Might get all my Fido caught up
today, but that remains to be seen...  

ttyl       neb

... There is a plot afoot to make me think I'm paranoid!
