Counting down...
Jul. 30th, 2008 08:39 amWell, three more days and then I'm free! hahahaha Actually, 2-1/2 - IBM is taking their employees (not contractors :-( ) to the fair on Friday night so we get off at 6:30.
My boss asked me if I'd be willing to work "core" on second shift (meaning more or less permanently). Of course, he needed an answer "now" and I told him I would. Figured it would make life a whole lot easier if I worked through the end of the year, financially anyway. But then he came back later and I got hoisted by my own petard - I'm the only one they've got that can handle the line alone and keep up with it (unless, like tonight, they start running two lines for the last three hours - good grief...). So because they already have two positions on second and would have no one on third, no core job. Don't know if I'm relieved or upset about that. Probably more relieved - I would've been up on murder charges if I'd had to deal with the other shipping guy for much longer. The man has no concept of teamwork - he does his thing and the hell with the rest of the operation. Argh...
So I've got three pieces to read through today on![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
ateambunnies and then have to see if I can get the tiller running (have new gardens to plow out) and Covenant is going to kinda simmer until I'm through working - although I did come up with a solution to my current dilemma as I got into bed last night. A bit of an experiment...you know how those go...
btw - anyone else having trouble getting on DBC? Keeps timing out for me... :-(
