The End of August Already

Where did the month go? I mean really why is time warping on me? I just can't seem to get everything done and worse, I'm not sure I want to. That is what is really bothering me I am getting apathetic.

Went home for a week. It was really good to get together with my family even if I did miss two of the brothers. Too short a visit though. I had to get back to work.

While on vacation, I did go visit some really cool places. The National Quilt Museum in Paducah KY; Fenton Glass factory in Fenton WV. Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, NY; The Remington Gun Factory in Ilion, NY; Hershey"s World of Chocolate in Hershey, PA; and a mine your own gem stones place in Hiddonite, NC. it was whirl wind trip of 10 whole days.

Of course when I got back things were a mess at work. Lots of things left undone, some things done wrong, etc. I spent 3 days getting things straightened out. While my boss was there on Monday, he wasn't for the rest of the week. And true to form things fell apart while he was gone. Fortunately I was in touch with him and he isn't coming back to the mess cold.

Quilt blocks are slow in getting done but I am making some progress. I need a all day sewing retreat so i can focus. It would not take a lot to get them done just time and no distractions.

Ah but that is impossible. I got 2 phone calls last night and 3 today all from work. They can't ever get ahold of Joey so they call me. Which would be totally fine if I was salaried and a supervisor. I am still just a senior tech. That makes me hourly. I am making decisions and having to make judgement calls while not on the clock. Basically working for free. I am just praying that the corporate policy makers get their heads out and make me a supervisor and do it soon. I don't mind being on call as long as I get paid for it.

I guess I am feeling that I may never see that happen. I really want the raise and title. One, it would make it easier to get out of debt. Two, it make some of the techs actually have to listen to me. Three, I am already doing the job. Four, I deserve it. I really do a good job for the company.

Okay enough griping. I'll try not to go a whole month before posting again.
