Hangin for my review
I'm waiting for my yearly revie at work. I'm going to ask for more money. I think its only fair. I got a mediocre raise two weeks ago. But I am going to be honest and state the facts. I out produce everyone on either shift.. sometimes 3 to 1. Today for example.. by 2:45 I was done.. started fuckin off... my. Eh hum, "lead man" says what you done for the day? I asked what's your count so far? He said 8... he built 8 fucking panels... I said well. Hit 45 at 2:30 and yeah.. I'm done... 13 foot 10 inch walls.. with no help.. finger will be numb in the morning surely.. I asked, if I am honestly putting out more than 2x your best guys, And 3 to 4 times what the most do... I think I need more money for working like I do.. he agreed.. said tell em in my review... that's 2 out of 3 lead men who have said yes.. you need more money for the quantity and quality you put out. If I don't ok..my rates will adjust to just above there best guy.. and ask to go to second shift
Beer thursday
Had a few, then ate n sobered up.. then took the kidlets out for supper... seems Kaitlyn, on top of hormones, is going through a lot with Andi soon heading to college. I realize how each one of the girls has a certain part of my heart, or soul in them. Kaitlyns scared, sad, and feels she's losing her sister.. we had a long talk. And soon I had the sincere smile from her... they are great kids.. sibling rivalries aside.. Ones got my sensitivity, one has my work ethic, and one has just the exhuberance I have...well at times.. a more proud father I don't I could be.
Work party is tomorrow evening, but tonight, the girls and I are spending quality time... taken em out for new hair cuts n styles.. color if they so wish.. let em be the unique n lovely little girls they are, and feel special and spoiled for the day...

Need to link all my blogs
It Thursday... coworker party set for Saturday. Got my darts all set up n ready. Soulfly concert with hegwood on Sunday night. This weekend will be a beer drinking extravaganza...lol.. not sure if I'm down for boozery to an exstant.. but so it shall be. Me n the guys need a destress day laughin and bustin each other balls. So it'll be.
On another note. I've been pretty reserved in many things the last few yrs. Its time to just breathe again, and get my shit together.. rested on my laurels too long. I admit I have a lot of fear. And my life has never had a lot of it.. but the last t yrs I've felt fear and its new still to me. But I'm off to the grind. And will save my laments for another blog.
Wishing all my readers much Love and Respect. Everyone. Thankful for everyone I have in my life, again. Means the world to me people. Really does.

Current
Butterflies... in my guts.. that soft side in me, is again, so simply touched without even trying.. its kryptonite. Makes ya weak, makes your head swim.. and can destroy you.. yet, somehow, this brings a long lost..warmth... a feeling of peace, even in the midst of swirling emotions and and the stresses of the day... somehow, this, has allowed me, to breathe again..
