Why don't people realize

Too many times and too many people. I have run into this situation umpteen million times. People think that there is only one way to do things and only one way of going about getting people to do something. Yelling and screaming isn't the answer for everything. Try reasoning with people and talking like a human being. I have a boss that doesn't know any other way to handle things and he is never pleased. Always has to find something to gripe about even if you did do the task right. Then it is the case that it wasn't fast enough or it wasn't the right way to go about it. But then the next day you do something the way he said to do it the day before and that is still wrong. "The right way is the way you did it yesterday!!" It's getting old fast. Not to mention that I work with a bunch of druggies and ex-prisoners. Am I the only decent person left in this town that can put two and two together. Some of the guys that I work with shouldn't have past the third grade but guess what? They have GEDs or diplomas. It's boggling!!! And the ones that do have any sense lost all of their brain cells to a point that they can't even complete a thought. So yes, I am impressing the boss man and he wants to make me a foreman. But here lies the problem. It's not enough money to babysit these monkeys.

I got out of management so I wouldn't have to babysit anymore but here I am again babysitting 30 and 40 year olds. AAAArrrrrrgggggghhhhh! But on the good side I do get recognized for all the crap that I have to put up with just as a worker and have moved up the pay scale rather quickly. And I guess there is a sizable bonus for me this Christmas for doing what I do.

Regardless I just wish people would realize that there is more than one way to skin a cat.

Here we go again :)

Well for the second time in my life I will be a father. Initially I only wanted one child. That was the way I saw my future family but I saw that one child being a boy. My first child didn't quite turn out that way. I was given a beautiful baby girl. And of course she is a daddy's girl and I can't be thankful enough. So as life changes so do my plans. Now my future holds two children and by God this one better be a boy!!!!! So cross your fingers and buckle your seat belts this is going to be a bumpy ride. A pregnant woman in the house! I'm kinda scared just of that but hopefully all the torture and nagging will pay off with the delivery of a baby boy. And yes the name is already picked out. I and again I say "I" get to pick the name if it is a boy and the wife gets to pick the name if it's a girl. So come on buddy I know you are in there. LOL

Im here

Welcome to all!!
