Title: Time to get back to business!!!
Post by: Porter on March 10, 2011, 06:23:03 AM
Well many of you know I accepted a new position at work.  One that took me being me, myself and I to being over 10 people.  Needless to say, this has been way more work than I ever intended it to be!  It's worn me down and me being on the site as much has suffered :(  I try to catch up as much as possible, but I'm hardly ever at my desk anymore  *cry*

We've hired one of the replacements and hope to hire another one shortly.  I took over with us down on man power too ...  not real smart, but hey that's the way it goes.

Then here comes my son's medical issues.  Hopefully those will be a thing of the past.  After drinking a ton of fluids (G2 Gatorade and Diet Sprite) he started getting some energy back last night.  I'm just praying this continues!

My wife still has some unknown issues and just went through her 5th cat scan.  They are now thinking she has something wrong with her lower intestines.  I told her it might be time to trade her in...  it got a brief smile then a smack across the head  *aah*  At least she has not lost her sense of humor!

I hope to catch up today/this evening and I know I've missed some wonderful posts.  Thanks to everyone for your support of this site and understanding my situation.  If I had to do it again, I'm not sure I'd accepted this position.  In the end, I'm sure I'll look back and laugh. 

Spring is in the air and I'm ready to roll and rock!!!

Mike,

Glad to hear your son is doing better. Your family has had some rough times but maybe you guys can get back on your feet. You better not trade your wife in just yet. The next one might not be so understanding about your room looking the way it does. *lol*

One thing to remember though. Work will always be there. Take care of what's important in life first.

Well guys thanks a bunch for everything.  Mitchell is doing great now.  Gotta admit this scared me and been spending a lot of needed time with him.  Went out and watched my first ever college softball game this weekend... of course it was the Ladies :)  Watched Volleyball and helped stream our basketball teams in the DII tourney. 

Worked 80+ hours last week and off to a major conference first thing in the morning. 

Time is flying and I'm ready for some Spring weather.  Hired two new employees this week and hope that will relieve a lot of the hours at work.  Things are not in good shape there.  I hate taking time fixing an issue, I want it done NOW. 

Anyways, I hope to be a lot more tranny now!  Someone has to give ole Darleen  *poo*  *peep*
