It takes a "special" kind of full-time supervisor to turn a fully staffed night at work into a working nightmare.

That's right as soon as the work flow slows down you should definitely send half of the staff home to save money. Then as soon as they're gone truckloads of work hit will the area, just like aways. I can't help but wonder on a daily ( Read more... )

Time sure does fly. With my spring break just about over I have a weekend filled with homework. Luckily I've already started on it. I expect that Flash slide show to be done by Sunday if I give it everything I have. I plan on spending tomorrow working on it, and taking the last picture I need on Sunday, which involves a trip back to the church down ( Read more... )

The fans don't cool you off as much as they barely keep you alive in order to keep working. The bad part is that years ago OSHA had to be called in order to get those. Well, at least the heatwave is almost over and my two week ( Read more... )

No, I haven't dropped off the face of the Earth. Although I have gone into somewhat of a school-induced seclusion mode. I've finally come up with a schedule to keep up with the demands of summer school. It pretty much involves reading and doing school work almost all of the time, other than the weekends and being at work. I've even given up on ( Read more... )
