Christmas is Fast Approaching

Well the company decided today that the plant will be closed from the end of shift Friday the 21st till Wednesday the 2nd. Let me qualify that. Even though the plant will be closed they will need some to work during that time and they haven’t decided who that will be yet. So other words no one can plan on what days they will have off. They love the godly control they have over people. I had put in for my vacation days but they still haven’t been approved. Not that that would mean anything they can change their mind and take it back. I have never worked for such arrogant people before. I will be glad to get out of here.

I am planning on a trip to Florida to see family for Christmas and then back to work on my house. My home owners’ insurance company has a problem with my 16 foot high deck not having railing around it. I can’t imagine why! The real story is that I am going to build a roof over the deck before I do the railing and I haven’t had the time to do it. I guess I will go ahead and do a temporary railing. I hate to spend the time to do anything temporary but it will take the pressure off to get the roof done. I hope the weather is cooperative during my time off.

Speaking of weather, we have record breaking high temperatures this week in Tennessee (77 degrees) but snow is predicted for Saturday. We are expecting a 50+ degree drop by then. You’ve got to love Tennessee weather. It is like Forest Gump’s box of chocolates ‘you never know what you’re going to get’. We are also making up for our lack of rain during the summer. But I love rainy days when I not having to drive in it.

I posted some links on my blog today to some blogs that I watch. I am living on the road through them for now. But I am a doer not a watcher so I get anxious to be out there.
