Good morning,
Anna, happy your trailer stays warm. Our meeting proved that our new manager was lying..gee what a shock. I just do my time and go home, I find my joy outside of work. We are warming up again, going to be in the 80's the next few days :-(
spyder, I know what you mean about being cold in the 60's..LOL
Blondie, hope your feeling better today, less pain. And had a good weekend.
Have a good week everyone, praying it warms up for all of you in the extreme cold.

Catsmom,
I've heard of brown noses before but this lady takes the cake!!! Did anything come out of the big meeting you were all supposed to have?? I'm sorry your co-worker is obviously getting punished for speaking out. You're right - just do your time and go home!!!!! Find joy in other areas of your life - work sure won't give it to you!!!!!
Boy is it cold up here!!! Surprisingly the trailer stays fairly warm. I can feel the cold floors on the slide outs since there is just open air under them. And woke up to snow on the ground but thankfully not nearly as bad as what came down north of us!!!! 3 more weeks!!!!!

Good Morning to Everyone.
Blondie, Praying that you feel better fast.

Catsmom, that bites big time! Blondie, hope you feel better soon.

Good morning.
Blondie, sorry you are in so much pain, but it will make your family see all you do. I am sure they will love you more and relize how much you do. HUGS . Anytime I see my girl is good time :-) I know you all understand. :-)
Spyder Last week was a 3 day work week for us. And I have decided to just ignore all and just do my 6 hrs and go home. Not worth the stress. One of the women went and talked to the Director of our depth on Thursday, told her everything. She doesn't care. And on Friday our new manager added more work for her to do. So it doesn't help to tell those in charge anything. That and the fact that our new manager bought the director a 300 designer worout outfit for her birthday a few weeks ago... we will see what this week brings.
Hope you all are having a good weekend. God bless you all, and all our Sailors.
