Mixed Up Schedule

I hate when you have a set routine and it is shot completely off course. I am so used to having Wednesday and Thursday off. They have been my set days of for well over a year now. Last week I had to go into work on Thursday to me to VP of Ops. That went well, but I didn't relish the idea of traveling into Knoxville on my day off for business. Oh well, it was only a half day. Now this week, someone forgot they needed to be off. What am I going to do? Tell them no and then they call out anyway. With the economy being what it is, you would think that people are thrilled to be game-fully employed. Not in Knoxville. If they don't like what you say, they have a million other choices to go to.

Anyway, that caused me to be off on Tuesday and Wednesday. Now my internal clock is all messed up. Plus I will have to work 6 days in a row. Not a big deal....I've done stretches as long as 29 days in a row. But when the days are mandatory 10 hour days with an hour commute, one way, it really does start to suck!!!

Tomorrow I have a manager meeting to lead. I HATE public speaking. But when it comes to my managers, I can do it. When I was in Florida for the GM conference, I had to get up and speak in front of about 40 people, most of whom were strangers.....the only thing that could have made it worse was if I was naked without my homework.....

Anyway, my boss has decided he either likes how I run my meetings or hates how I run my meetings. This is the 3rd meeting in a row he has decided to attend. He attends Kingsport's meetings because he doesn't like how Randy does it. He attends Greenville's because he DOES like how Nathan does it. I'm not sure where I fall.

Well, as they say, another day....another dollar. Or in this case, another 50 cents.

Peace & Love
