Good idea:
The plant, in lieu of having a company picnic, gave us all tickets to one of the water parks in the area. We didn't have to wait until a certain day, we could go whenever we wanted.
Bad idea:
Waiting until Labor Day weekend to go.
Can we say "Packed"?
It's just so wrong. You wait for an hour and a half to get on a ride that lasts two minutes. Bah!
Hey y'all, here's a news flash for you: I have officially lost my mind. Off the deep end. Out to lunch. The lights are on but nobody's home. Yep, all outa marbles over here. Don't know what happened to it, but it's gone.
A while back, when I was still at the old job, I wrote about being the apparent target of a workplace bully. The term "workplace bully" is actually a somewhat emerging term- at least in Texas. Bullying in general is actually now getting more and more attention in schools and jobs out here. Apparently this last summer the teachers at the kids' schools had to go through some sort of training about bullying. That's all wonderful, I just wonder where all the concern was when I was in school.
So anyway, the individual I was posting about emailed me a few months ago. He said he wanted to see how it was all going for me and he asked if there were any more positions in my shop open. Call it a brain cramp, call it a momentary lapse of common sense but I wrote him back and told him that yes, we were looking for another tech and he should apply. Well, now he's going to send in a resume and put in for the position. To make matters worse, I gave him a glowing recommendation.
Glutton for punishment? Certifiably mad? I don't know. The guy is a very good tech and we could use that at work. I guess I felt I needed to put my personal feelings aside and do what's best for the plant. At least, that notion makes me feel considerably less like a boob.
Maybe he'll change. Maybe he won't pick on me like he used to.
...maybe I'll grow a gigantic spring in my ass and bounce all the way to a new job.
Bah!
