This week seems like it was about ten days long. It is hard to believe that one week ago today I was still in Mexico, and all that went on from there.
I didn't write anything in my blog yesterday, because things were just WAY too busy. I had just transitioned to a new job. and since I was no longer directly supporting the shop, had adjusted my start time from 6:00 to 7:00 so I could grab an extra hour in the morning in the sack.
Well the first day that I started my new shift time, as soon as I got to work, my cell phone rings and it is the shop. Could I come out and go back to my old job as pit boss for a couple of weeks?
I said I would be willing, but they had to go through my new management and get an OK, and I would need to "loan in" while I was there.
So an hour later, there I was back at my old job.
Well, they didn't ask for me to come back because everything was going according to plan. So I was busy scrambling to try to figure out what was going on while handling the new stuff coming in.
This was a real win-win situation for me.
I made brownie points with the shop and shipside support for being willing to come out and support them. I made more brownie points with my management because the shop requested me by name to come out and help, and I was willing to do it. I plan to milk this one for all I can get.
Too bad were not up for salary review right now.

So is this one of those situations where management, in all it's glorious brilliance, decided your previous position was unnecessary?
No, I was a volunteer, and when they decided that the slot I occupied needed to be rotated to second shift, I unvolunteered. My replacement's performance was less than stellar.
Hey, it's nice to be indispensable, isn't it?
But it sure would help if they gave you a bit of recognition in the form of extra cash in the ol' paycheck, right? ;)
Stacy: sure it would be nice, but if I lived my life expecting other people to make me complete, it would be just me and Mrs A, against the world, and there's a whole lot more of them. than us.
(for now)
I expect a Peanut Queen Revolution any time now.
Looking for information and found it at this great site... » » »
