Working is not all bad

 

Today will be our second day of working at the AWG store in DeKalb Texas. We have had many a good laugh and many an argument about senseless things. I guess when you work together and both have your own way of doing things you will bump heads now and again.

I like to work at a slow pace and then when I get through with my set I like to tweak things to better them. Sherri goes a hundred mile an hour and somehow does it all right the first time and does not need any tweaking at the end. This only opens us up for another assignment that means we have to work hard all over again. I can’t help having this lackadaisical attitude…you know I was in management too long and built up this methodical way of doing things that takes longer and make me look real busy when I am not.

Well this makes her mad and she wants me to keep going at break neck speeds. I will just have to break her in to my way of doing things…what’s that you are saying…you don’t thing that will happen. You would be correct I will just have to live with it for now. We are working for a different set of directors in this store and they have us just cleaning and moving merchandise from on self to the next.  We are not really doing any sets per say so when we get back to Brookshire’s and start working with our folks again I can work by myself. Sherri is a hard task master to follow.

We got home and now it is time to plan for our dinner. We have not decide where we are going to eat tonight so we have to make those plans. It is 5:00 and time to meet up with our co worker . I am hungry but do not have a taste for anything in particular. I am sure something will come to me soon. Well I don’t think it is my turn to choose anyway so we will see who will get to pick tonight.

Laura won the pick and we went to Two Senoritas and I had Fajitas. Sherri had the same thing and I am not real sure what Laura had…it looked good but I could not put a name to it. We stayed there a while after we finished eating and visited. When we left we all noticed that the temps had fallen. They are calling for snow tonight so we will see. I will have a full report for you…

Hhahaha finding *balance* between the two of your works styles is what you are striving for. With me and Steve, it's him that barges ahead and don't plan or read directions (then if he messes it up, it takes even longer to fix) ...but for me I like step A, step B, step C etc. and plan it all ahead and never have to re-do it. But we still get things done together and do the best we can!
