This week I found out the maintenance company I work for had lost their contract & a new company would be taking it over. No big deal this will be the 3rd company I have worked for in the 5 years I have been at Carlisle. Since the new company isn't allowed to view other companies personnel files each of us had to reapply & interview for our own jobs. Dumb I know but that's how it works in contract maintenance. After all this I had to go take a drug test. That's 3 hours of my life I'll never get back. I literally sat & waited 2.5 hours before my name was called. We sent 80 people to the lab to get tested & everyone of them had to wait that long or longer. How long can it take to bottle up piss? No wonder WADA is all screwed up. Next Thursday I find out if I get rehired or not. Not too worried about it but it does leave a tinge of anxiety. Everyone in the maintenance department is pretty nervous. Rightly so, since we have a bunch of under qualified people who got hired through the good old boy network.
On the recovery front I'm doing pretty good. Range of motion is increasing everyday. Can now ride the trainer with both hands on the bars for the vast majority of the time.
Mia has become a handful. It took her no time to figure out drawers & cabinets. The big weekend project is baby locks. Had been putting it off for convenience to the adults in the household. No more its full baby lock down time.
Get in my belly!
Sometimes its easier to hose the kid down than change clothes 50x a day.

Oh the joys of being a parent. Yes be sure and add those safety locks and move everything to higher cabinets.
ReplyDeleteI just love to see little M&M STANDING.
As to the drug test you are obviously in the wrong area. I give the guys down here their random drug tests and I can do it in less than 30 minutes.
Hope all goes well with the job re-hire. All though it is time to cast your resume back in the ring and start looking for something that will give you a day time job.
The joy of a fortified house! Have fun putting those things on. I remember enjoying it quite a bit. She sure is getting big and might already be taller than Jim.
ReplyDeleteIf you need a job you can come sell some cars for me!
I thought everyone was taller than Jim.
ReplyDeleteShe is getting big. Good luck with work. You could always work for MSU and make hardly nothing, but do hardly nothing! Lots of time off too. Keep working on the arm, it will get better. I still have a little reminder of mine once in a while.
