TIC TOK TIC TOK TIC TOK TIC TOK ITS A GOOD THING THEY DON'T WORK FOR ME YET !

No that is not a canary in my mouth ! I am holding my breath until I hear what I want ! Boy the corporate wheels turn slow, but they grind very fine? what ever that means ?

OK interview completed, now for the offer Things did get easier, is it a salary position so the OT is now off the board so it really will come down to how much they offer Any where close to what I am making now, its no contest I am happy where I am

Dan g it Jill see what you got me thinking of ?

This Penguin is for you Jill, cute little fluffy bunch of hugs

This why polar Bears and Penguins don.t live in the same continent and why if they were sold in a butcher shop they would cost so much The cleaning fee !!

Cleaned a dirty Penguin It is still Funny

Money may not bring happiness but it sure can make a environment that is very conducive of happiness. Bills paid, nice home, dependable vehicles, and some savings in the bank, without the stress and worry of Making a living you have the freedom to be Happy.

It is really hard not to let this consume me, I know Friday, Monday or Tuesday I will have all the information I will need to make a derision. Right now its like having a great medium priced Car and the promise of a newer greater car but you have no Idea what it is going to be ?

Thank you all for listening Guess when I have all my ducks in a row and I know what is what the wife and I will toss the pro and cons on the scale and see which way it leans. at least after the interview and an offer is made I will be comparing apples to apple and oranges to oranges.

Some species just cant live together, ever seen the ice at a penguin colony ? A polar bear goes to his local butcher to buy dinner for the wife and cubs he asks how much the seal meat is and the butcher reply's 1.99 a lbs He then sees some wonderful walrus meat and asks how much that is and the butcher reply's 3.99 a lbs its on special The polar bear sees penquin Meat fresh from the Arctic the bear asks the butch how much for the penguin meat and the butch reply's 13.50 a lb. The polar bear flabbergasted by the price asks why is the penguin meat so much more that the other meats and the Butcher reply's You ever had to clean one of those dirty little things ?

Commute is 15 / 20 minutes longer, on surface streets Benefits are very comparable The shop is beautiful I have only met the maintenance manager, he seems like a gear head If there were no difference in pay I would stay here. I am capable of taking a good team and making them great, I am very good at what I do Would you drive 20 minutes longer for $10,000.00 more a year ? Questions I have been asking my self are: in this order what would benefit my family more? money yes and possibly more time with the family, Could I succeed in this new position, Yes Would I be ok with the added commute Yes As for the team I am flying blind, but can I develop good relations and skills in a team ? Yes Would I miss or regret this place now, yes I would miss them, and there always the chance of regret Could I come Back if it doesn't work out, most likely not, they are hurting for supervision and me leaving will throw them back into a hurt. So this is a one way road if I choose to go down it. I am still not smoking ! Thank you all for that help, advise, assistance and Care

Well the Day I have been dreading and hoping for is near, come Friday I am scheduled for my last interview with a top tier employer. If all goes as expected the offer will be one that I shouldn't pass on, Fantastic money, super maintenance shop, top of the line equipment. WOW that is great yes it is, the hick up in this Getty up is, I really like the position I am in, its only been 40 days here but I have a great crew, I like my manager and the rest of the Maintenance staff. But the down side it is salary and I have worked 36 of my first 40 days, the new position is Hourly ie: i will get paid for the overtime I work unlike here. I figured it out, just in the forty days i have been here I would have made an extra $4,200.00. and over the year quite a bit more 10,000 plus. I could use all the in sight you all have to offer, I may have 10 years left in me to work, that will put me at 70. Please chime in I really could use some different views and opinions.

Bump into ?? What I think it is starting to clear ? maybe a little !

Thank you Doreen

Yep you are correct Jill, writing it down helps take it from a feeling to something tangible, solid, that I can then deal with. If that makes any since?

My thought process is scrambled, seems to be a major malfunction today. Had to pull out the Pink Floyd Dark side of the moon, to meditate a bit to. the Boss has went home so not such a big deal to sloth thru the rest of the day. Figure the Brain is shutting down some unused neuron nicotine receptors and it is having a over all effect on my ability to focus and process efficiently.

Is that gold or did I just miss a tooth brushing this morning ?

Do you all believe in Horoscopes? Ya me to, on the bench with this one. But the wife wakes me up this morning while she was getting ready for work, said she looked at my Horoscope and it said possible changes are coming and that I needed to really take a good look at what is being offed before jumping. into something new ? Well I have a couple pending offers on Jobs, one I have already ruled out, but the other could be a real improvement in pay, I mean a big improvement in pay, newer shop, very nice modern DC. Here I am, very happy, great crew, good manager, have it all rolling. Its close to home, no freeways Hours are working, but miss my wife, our hours make it to where we only see each other getting in and out of bed. A real query

I am here at my desk going over paperwork and reports,

these 6 days a week along with what needs to be done at home is getting to be tedious . Two months more of it before I will see a break, I really miss getting out to my refuge with my Grandson. Actually miss a lot of what I use to do, that can't be done right now or this year. But you got to do what has to be done, Its the road I have chose, its a good road, plenty of opportunities along the way to play, for the now its work.

Last break and we have so much still to do, now the hard decisions need to be made ! what not to do and what is going to get done ?

Lunch time all is going well, I stayed in and ate at m desk, didn't want to be out with the smoke, not yet. just don't feel strong enough right now. The day is going good a lot to do, should take us most the day. Really cool getting into these big shoe divert sorters and the coolest thing is once you get into them they are really simple in design and function. Hope all of your Sundays are going fabulous.

I know this girl ! she works the late shift at Burger King Down on the corner of slaughter and Mayhem.
