So I am on my first day or working on an NSO (the one project I was looking forward to) I injure myself. I badly twisted my knee and is on injury leave until the Orthopedic Doctor can clear me.
Kind of sucks because I hate sitting too still while so much in going on at work and home. Oh well.
I also have to work with Workers Compensation, which I hope won't give me too much trouble. We shall see.
Thursday I have my appointment with the knee doctor so an MRI can be done and they can truly see what is wrong with my knee. I hope it's is nothing serious and I can return to normal at work as soon as possible.
Right now I am on crutches and pain meds. Please help me hope for a speedy recovery.
Later........

Gated Community: Ramming Speed
So, I am home one weekend and my brother-in-law was out helping a friend on something causing him to come in late. So Naomi (Sis-in-law) stayed up waiting on him when she witnessed a crash in the front entrance of the complex.
A car stopped at the key panel at the main gate and was working to get the gate open when a Big Red Truck appears to it's left. It sits there for a bit then starts to pump up it's engine. Shortly after, it runs forward and rams the gate. It then backs up and rams the gate again causing the gate to break open and stay open.
What a bastard. Total disrespect of other peoples property.
Now they removed the damaged gates and I think they are either repairing them or replacing them. We shall see.

I'm Back
Yea, I have returned from a five week project in Tyler, TX and man it feels good. That was a long one, but a good project. Not bad for my first full store remodel.
Not only am I done with that assignment, but I am also done with overnights. SWEET!!!!!!!!
It will be good to be on days. I start on Monday at 6am in Frisco with a NSO in Garland later that week. I also get to return to movie night with my friends. Very nice.
Well I have a lot to do here. More to come later.

Final Stretch
Man it is almost over. Starting Sunday we will hit the final week for the Tyler remodel. YEA!!!!!!!
It was a rough process especially with this final team working with us, but we are making it through. Shortly after that we will be opening up a new store in Garland, TX with another team. Pretty nice. It will also be good to return to days.
Happy times ahead, except for the moving later in November.

Middle Of Nowhere
Hey folks. I know I know it has been a looooooong time since I've blogged and I am sorry. Part of it is that I am traveling to Tyler, TX for a full store remodel. This project is 5 weeks long and we are now into our fourth week, thank God. We had the pleasure of having this project with a second team supporting us through the process and it really did help. We worked with three different teams because no one team can stay no more that 2 weeks.
The first team was from Austin, TX, Team Jeane. It was great to see them because it included a few friends I haven't seen in over a year. They work worked great with us and even with a few hiccups with the dumpster folks we when ahead of scope.
The next team to work with us was from Central DFW, TX, Team Talbot. This was the team I was applying for a promotion in two different position and was denied twice, but they still wanted me to join. The catch was that it was only a lateral move, which means no pay increase, no full promise of a promotion. Of course, I denied the offer. I'm happy with my current position on my current team. They only stayed with us for a week, which sucked and we still stayed ahead of scope.
The final team to join us is Team Maxwell from Houston, TX. I knew no one from this team. They are currently with is for the last two weeks and it seems like I may be a little rough, but it also seems like we won't fall behind because it can work their asses off. The down side is that it is a team full of too much talent and too many leaders. Lots of talking and telling each other what to do, but they do get the job done quickly so this project should end well.
Well that is the short form of that past 3.2 weeks. I will try to blog more. I promise.
