Work Life

Well work has been crazy for me since about July. We did a major system upgrade and it has not been smooth by any means. It seems to be getting better for a lot of my team, but unfortunately I do a lot of the behind the scene so my life is still hell. We are hoping to get everything on track before the end of the year because we really do not want this to carry over. I work with the billing and invoicing and end of year is a big deal when it comes to budgets and books. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we can breath soon.

Steve's work is about to get crazy as well and I'm not very happy about it. He has been on night for close to a year now. Well they are still keeping him on nights, moving him from the KC plant to the one in Leavenworth and from 8 hour shifts to 12 hours shifts. That's what makes me the most unhappy, 6 pm to 6 am, the exact opposite of when I'm home, we will never see each other and Owen is not going to know what is going on. Its bad enough that he says "bye bye" to Steve every time he sees him now. Hopefully it will not last long, once they get the plant equipment moved and up and running again hopefully things will get back to normal, or at least what we call normal.

I know that no job is perfect and we should consider it job security and that we have jobs that allow us to have all we have. Its just so hard not to complain when your employers take you for granted at times.
