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!
