It's different; yep it's different alright!
Posted Friday, March 7, at 9:46 AM
Well, it's not a secret anymore; my hours of work have changed. There are many pros and yep, you guessed it, cons also.
What I like is that it consolidates all the printing to one shift, which for a salary person, is a plus. It has been a challenge the past three years in getting everything done. As many are aware, and I know I am not alone, if you are a manager of some sorts, you have a lot of paperwork to be done.
It is also a learning experience, joggling with the new hours and the tasks that have to be done. Even though the hours are different, the same things have to be done.
However, the new schedule is allowing me to do something that I have always wanted to do. It has been awhile since I enjoyed volunteering for my faith's work and now I am volunteering in it more than I have been in quite awhile. There is nothing more refreshing than doing something to make my Creator happy. The sense of accomplishment and joy of giving of oneself has had a positive effect on me, and it's only the first week of the month. I look forward to the rest of the month. My spiritually has been strengthened, which gives me strength to cope with life's problems.
We hear the word "change" and sometimes that is a good thing. I think of this change as a positive one. I know this is the best change that will benefit our customers and it is a special blessing that benefits me!
Exercise and Will Power I saw a commercial the other day that got me thinking. It had Valerie Bertinelli on it portraying her goal to lose weight. Yes, I know you all have seen it, but this one got my attention more than usual. She had a personal message for the T.V viewer. She said a statement that may at the surface seem truthful, and that is "If I can do it, anyone can do it!"...
Vacationing and Car Shopping It is amazing what taking time off from work can do to a person. For one who is used to being at work too much, this is a new experience. As in the past, I was blessed by having one day off a week. Now taking 4 days off in a row is certainly a new feeling...
Stepping Up To The Plate One of my pet peeves is someone saying "that is not my job!" I certainly haven't been hearing that around the Nevada Daily Mail for a while now. I was amazed at how many within the organization have expended themselves over the last six months or so. It seems we have made big advancements...
Misfortune Have you ever had one of those days? You know what I am talking about! It seems the sky is falling and everything is going wrong. I know everyone has experienced this one time or another and for some it seems more often than not. It seems that I have been struggling with equipment breaking down. And sometimes you wonder, (I know you have said it) "what else can go wrong today?"...
The Consequences of Being 'Big' Sometimes you feel like banging your head against the wall. There is a Web site I have found that list 301 Useless Facts, and it explains fact #212 -- "Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour." Of course we are talking about this in a figurative sense...
Rules, Rules, and Rules I certainly respect rules and regulations, but sometimes rules can get in the way. Before you start prejudging me, let me explain. Most towns have regulations regarding bicycles and skateboards on sidewalks. I certainly agree with the reason behind no skateboards on sidewalks. My youngest boy is a newspaper carrier and he has the territory that includes the square...
