On Monday at work, We had our annual SQF training day. SQF stands for Safe Quality Food. Much to my surprise the corporate VP of Operations shows up. He was there all week. He was doing an internal Audit to get us ready for our big SQF Audit just over a week away. Every time he comes to our plant he and I end up talking quite a bit.
He is not my boss or even my boss' boss. I answer to the VP of Quality. So why should he be so interested in my happiness with the company? Well he is married to the VP of Quality. Interesting, isn't it.
He did express concern over the fact that the plant operations manager had been out of line with me a couple of times in the past 3 months. Out of line as in telling me to mind my own Business, accusing me of panicking (he was the one panicked) and telling me, I shouldn't have placed returned product on hold (policy is to place returned product on hold pending investigation). I get the impression they don't want me to leave and are worried I might.
I also got positive reinforcement in my job. The VP suggested that they could use me up at the Elgin Plant and My Boss said I couldn't go he needed me here. I am lucky to have a job that I love and a Boss who is understanding, supportive and appreciative.
Anyway the extra work and my starting to work out everyday has had me getting home rather late. Plus we have had somewhere to go or company every night this week. It sure makes it hard to get anything done.
The kids have been keeping the house clean and doing some gardening. Not enough to reward them but somethings have been done and the house is a much more pleasant place. Now they need to start the Deep cleaning. You know emptying the cupboards and scrubbing them out, cleaning closets, washing walls and windows. It may feel like Summer but it is technically still Spring.
So while I didn't get the Studio cleaned (did get some work done), and I didn't work on any un finished projects (didn't start any new ones either), I am still feeling a lot less stressed. It is amazing how much a little positive improvement goes to making you happier.
