It finally happens

The wife and i went to the doctors the other day for our yearly check up.I figured no problem since last years check up was all good.Well,we got a message from the doctors office to come back in for a talk.It seems my chloestrol level is all out of whack.Both good and bad.I know i'm going to have to take meds and god forbid be put on a diet.My appointments tomorrow and i just have to see what happens.

I am kinda surprised i've gone this long without any major health problems. 

Bad four letter word -D-I-E-T.

On a positive note,i did get a Christmas bonus this year.

Later Dudes and Chickas!

Workplace idiots and my job

In my job,i make colored pellets for company's that use them in carpet fibers for color.I like my job,i really do.Sometimes i wonder if management even knows what they are doing.

This company i work for is pretty big.They have four plants in the states and three overseas,China being the most recent.( England and India the other two).The Concord (N.C.) plant for which i work at is right now the big moneymaker for the whole company.We consisantly make 4 million dollar months in productivity.Of course, the bigwigs are all happy."Keep up the good work ..etc,etc,etc...".But....there's always the but....they need to realize that the equipment we have to work with was outdated ten years ago.They are always breaking down,so we end up with down time.The bigwigs don't like that.Well if these assholes would get us better equipment to work with then we could get product out faster and sooner.To be the big moneymaker that we are,i don't see where all that money is going to.It sure as hell not coming to our plant.They need to put more money back into the plants in the states(and more in my wallet).

I work weekend nights which is Thurs., Fri., and Sat. nights  9pm to 9am.I love this shift because there's really no one here.Stress level is zero.Besides the team leader,there are only four of us.The  production  manager on day shift  is an total asshole.He's so bad that i've heard when he's not at  work ,he's always looking behind himself. I'm surprised nobody's  kicked his ass or killed him yet.

Then we have the few who have been with the company for twenty plus years, and they still don't know shit.The company would like  you to have a  college degree ,but from what i've seen it doesn't help to much.I didn't know you could give degrees to fools and dumbasses.

Now our plant manager,the only reason we got him is because the other plants didn't want him.Lucky us.He used to be a bad drunk (you could smell him before you seen him).He's changed alot but he can still smile to your face then stab you in the back.You know the saying about a leopards spots.

Besides all that i still like my job.

Thanks for reading. Peace out!

Something to think about

It's been awhile since i've wrote so here's a couple of things to ponder.

Why do we need hot water heaters? You don't need to heat hot water.
Why are they called apartments when they're all stuck together?

A little word play here. Pro's and Con's = Progress and Congress.Think about it.

Remember when i was a kid and hearing the adults calling kids young un's,and i thought ,why are they calling us onions?

Peace out !

wireless

Yes!!!!!!! Got the ol' 360 back a little before 5:00 pm today. They gave me a completely new system and a one month gold card. Just had to pop in All Pro 2K8 to get back in the groove again.
 
But.......I can't get the wireless router and 360 to connect .Dammit....I can't get online.All i did was unplug everything on the console and nothing else.I was going to re-install the router but i missplaced the Linksys disc.

I was looking forward to hooking up with some of  ya' tonight.

 But of course,that's my luck.That's why i'll never play the lottery,even if i did win,i'd probably owe them.
