another
it has been a crazy week and i just can't seem to keep up with everything, i'm letting the bathroom heat up so i can take my shower and then go to bed but i have to be up at 11am cus i have a ton of errands and stuff and i have to be to work an hour earlier tommorow,i did have kinda a breakdown at work cus i have a lot of pressure on me now that ashley is gone and i'm really tired cus i am not sleeping good on the plus side i lost a few more pounds, but anyways i just got so tired and so frustrated that i wasn't going as fast as i wanted on the cables and a few tears started to roll down my cheeks but i was getting control of myself, until david comes over and asks if i'm ok. then i just ran off the line and bawled for like 5 seconds. but i recovered and no one was the wiser except for the guys on my line, and yes i'm taking my meds everyday like i'm sposed to i just sometimes need a break and so i'm glad for the weekend, they just told me today that they were sending david to another area and we were getting a guy from dayshift and apparently he knows everything on that line and i think he's hispanic it's hard to tell from his little picture cus he's smiling real big and he kinda looks asian cus he is kinda lighter skined. i dunno. but i have mixed feelings about him coming over, i'm glad cus now i will be able to relax cus i won't be the only one who knows every machine, but i'm worried that he's gonna be super fast and i'm gonna be really slow compared to him and i'm gonna lose my job, it's tough right now cus they are firing a lot of people. temps right now but i just hope i'm doing a good enough of a job. alicia is just a bear right now and i think it has a lot to do with her milking this prego thing she's only 6 weeks, it shouldn't make her this mean and irritable yet. but what do i know? i miss being able to talk to mom cus she's been gone for like 2 weeks and we've barely seen each other. she knows how to calm me down and stuff so i don't freak out. well i'm tired and so i better take my shower now while i still have the energy. ciao

update
well, we are slowly getting loni trained on the cables, she is doing much better on everything else but cables, oh well i know it's tough to learn them at first. it's official i learned a new machine today, and i'm starting to realize that it's going to be ok if i have to learn a new machine, because my ability to catch on is getting better, yesterday which would be teusday night line 1009 didn't have a guy show up so they fired him well there are only 2 other operators in the area that know how to do that guys job that's me and beth, well they were shorthanded and i didn't even know, haha, but tony asked beth to stay and help the line out and she said no but she said i think melissa was wanting some overtime, jokingly well a little later tony comes over to me and says that beth voluntered me to stay and work on 1009, i was like uhh what?? i didn't say anything cuys i wasn't sure how serious he was cus like i said i didn't know they were shorthanded i thought that betty just wanted to go home early, so he stands there for awhile and finnally i asked if betty was wanting to go home early or what was going on? he said no that they were shorthanded so i was like oh well of ccourse i'll stay and help i didn't know that you were shorthanded otherwise i would've already said yes, so he says that its just for 2 hours and i'm like ok i can do it, well we start work on 1009 and tony says we were going to be there till 4:30 or until the parts got done, we barely made it, we got done at 4:15 haha. but i was a little aggravated cus apparently he knew that we would be here till 4:30 but just didn't want to tell me. oh well, more money for me, he knows i was overtime and the only way to get it is to work on 1009 but thats like 3 hours of overtime a little more than i want in a night, oh well. my team leader is prego, so i'm freaking out like well whos going to replace her and yada yada when she goes on maternity leave. cus doyle is getting ready to be transfered so he can't fill in for her, i kinda hope that they might try to train me or something. i'm going to start asking alicia what i can do to help her and stuff and try to pick up a few things on my own. i doubt they'll ask me but you never know.well i need to balance my checkbook ugh... i hate doing that. haha. ciao!

soo tired
this has been a very tiring week,we've gotten plenty of overtime though so i'm very very excited for that!!! we havea new chick on our line to replace ashley the prego they went ahead and sent her to a different area. it's tough because now i'm the last english speaking person that knows every machine and stuff. i told the new grl loni that if she needed help to just say hey and i'll be right over, well she chose to ask the guys who don't really know enough about the machines and enough english to help each other so we constantly had parts with wrong brackets and yada yada. we had a department meeting yesterday after lunch and i brought up in the meeting that 1042 (my line) is having a lot of problems i said i'm the only one who understands these certain machines fully and it's very diffucult for me to be in 2 places at once and i said that part of the reason we've had so much scrap is because the guys are not understanding me and i can't train them properly and i just said that communication is a big problem on our line, when they have a part that won't go through a certain machine they just put it to the side and your can't do that they can't tell me what the problem is with the part even though they now it's just communication, and i said i'm trying to learn spanish but i'm just not at the point that i can help and it's frustratin for them and me. i'm stressin big time cus i have to explain things to loni whereas when ashley was still there either me or her could've done it, but i keep having to stop and fix things cus of communication issues, i didn't say this last part in the meeting but um tony said well if we need to we can call an interpreter, a couple of the hispanic guys got a little upset at me the ones from my line, but i am not the only one frustrated by it i know they are to. and i don't mean anything by it or anything either, but now there is only 1 english speaking person who knows what needs done and how to do it, and thats me and it's soo tough i'll be glad when they get loni fully trained but it's gonna be awhile. sorry to go on and on but it's been a tough week and i'm soo tired from all the ot, i am getting ready to go to beed i'm just going to balance my checkbook and maybe get a bit to eat, well adios!
