Good Morning
I haven't posted in a few days cause I'm working on a different shift and I'm trying to get used to the new sleep pattern. I know going to work at 3:30 and working til 11:30pm shouldn't be that much of a problem but I've worked early early for 20 years so I automatically try to fall asleep about 9 or 10. lol
I have been temporarily transfered to the QA department where I work covering for a lady that is out sick. I should be working this department for a few weeks because I cover for vacations as well.
Its really such a hassle .................... much better pay and I have to drive a golf cart instead of walking. OHHHHHHHHH the inhumanity of it all !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LMAO
I really like this department its very small and everyone is easy to get a long with. The boss is outstanding and very understanding, and they eat constantly. Someone brings in cake or something yummy almost everyday, and they have a potluck almost every week.Now what more could you ask for? Oh ya I have a desk and a computer with internet access.
I would love to be in this department permanently but I can't get anyone to quit. Gee I wonder why?? ROFLMAO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When I'm at work I try to vary my activities as much as possible because working on the lines are soooooooooo boring. I do lots of safety work, I'm on two safety teams. One for Ergonamics and one that writes safety job discriptions, its called JSA. I also do most any special project that i can for my supervisor. Last year I did a project that controled and tracked our Non-consummable material........... thats a fancy term for the tape and stuff we use that we don't keep track of. lol
I have also done power point training presentations and announcements in our weekly production meetings. lol Like i said most anything that will get me off those damn lines. lol
I was thinking about this just the other day and realized I've always been like this at every job I've ever had. When I worked in dietary in the hospital in Ky. I started by serving meals to the patients and 8 years later i was also working on the cafeteria serving line and doing clerical work and cashiering. I was responsible for the Doctors cafeteria, doing special functions like luncheons and meetings and being the lead for the production lines that plate the patients food. I was still filling in as Hostess serving patient meals occasionally as well.
I don't know why I'm like this but I always have been. It started way back in High school. When I was a freshman I thought study hall was boring so I asked to work in the cafeteria that hour. lol By the time i was a senior I was in charge of the teachers cafeteria and did a little bit of everything that was connected to the cafeteria in anyway, of course it was a small school compared to most city school. It only had between 300 and 400 students so there wasn't a lot to it but it did take up about 3 of my hours a day.
Maybe I just get bored easily ....... or as my sister always said I like to boss people around!!!!
I have found that a lot of people hold themselves back because they just won't speak up and I have never been afraid of that. I really communicate well and thanks to a class they made us take when i worked at the hospital I'm a certified NICE PERSON!!!!!!!!!!! Now how many people can say that? But it has made it easy for me to get along well with people that are in supervisory postions.
I see this is getting pretty long so i better shut up for a while, but I'm sure I will be back soon.

Hi I'm back

lmao!! See I told you I would be back!!! lmao
I worked on a robotic line today. Its a line I like so my day went pretty well. Except for my poor poor feet. I know you all want to hear about them!!!
Theres not much going on here today its pretty quiet right now the grandkids have gone swimming with there dad so hopefully I will get to watch my next to favorite show in peace.
Oh ya that would be Pirate Master. I've watched Survivor since the first day and now I'm very happy they have something to take its place when its off.
My favorite shows are Survivor, Pirate Master, Stargate SG1, I do like The Roloff's but i dont always watch that one. I like anything on any kind of travel. I like the Discovery Channel and I watch a little on HGTV and TLC. Since i have to get up at 5 am every morning i usually don't watch anything that comes on after 9:30. If i can stay awake that long. lol
I know you must be thinking this is the most boring blog you have ever read. I just want anyone reading this to know a little about me before I write about my life.
Til next time take care.

work

My grandsons are here for a few days and I took off Monday and Tuesday so after spending four days with them in this little tiny house i was ready to go to work this morning. lol

That is til i got there .............. today was one of those days from Hell!!!!! Nothing on the line went right we had mechanical problems, material problems and robot problems. I'm just glad it was a manual line with only one robot and the temps. did just fine. Theres only one thing harder on your feet than walking all day on concrete, and thats standing all day on concrete. I'm not a very patient person and when I have to wait for hours and hours it really gets to me.

I dont know why kids think they are suppose to eat every darn day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lmao
Guess i better stop and cook them something to eat ..... darn kids anyways.

Have a good evening and ill be back soon I'm sure.

My Life

I just wanted to tell you a bit about myself before I start.
I am a divorced 57 yr old woman. I have one grown child and she has given me two wonderful grandson.
I was born in the south raised in the north and I now live on the east coast. As this blog grows you will find I've moved many times in my life and I've had many diverse life experiences. You will also learn im not a very good speller and my grammer stinks. lol
I work in a packaging plant putting ink cartridges into the little boxes that hang on pegs in stores so you can buy them. As a machine operator I work with big robots some days and other days I oversee a number of temporary employees doing the tedious work that they do on some of our lines. It also means theres lots and lots of walking and at times running on concert floors, lots of stress and LOTS of frustration.
I have enjoyed working on webpages in the past, of course I don't know HTML so they are just the easy ones but I found them to be fun. If you click here you will find some. I've included all I could find from over the years, but I'm afraid my best ones are lost to me forever.
The newest ones are the pirate pages but please check out all of them if you would like to get a better idea of who I am.
I thought since I was finally getting back into this type of thing that i should try blogging we shall see where it leads.
