My Almost-daily Journal |
|
| About I love trying out new things, especially when it comes to internet technology. I never really kept a journal, but it's something that I've always wanted to do. Now, everybody will get a chance to look inside my twisted, and somewhat-warped mind.
I've also subscribed to Audio Blog, so a few times a week, I'll leave actual voice blogs. Very cool!XML Newsfeed Previous Posts

Friday Things are a little slow around here. Most of the people at Mopar and DCX PVO seem to all be gone for some reason. My phone isn't ringing off the hook. The SRT-10 Spoiler is being run at Pinnacle in Bowling Green, OH, and the Mopar PT Cruiser Ground Effects tools are in Canada. Nothing really needs immediate action from me right now. Slow days like this help remind me of the long-ass hours I put in when things are amok. Last year, the whole summer seemed to disappear before my eyes because of SEMA. I was working some long hours last summer. Did anybody notice? Probably not. Will someone notice if I bug out of hear a few hours early? Probably. That's one of the things that really sucks about working for Decoma. There's no overtime. There's bonuses. Last year, and a few years prior, I worked for the Director of Operations. He knew I busted my ass, even though he wasn't around at 8PM or 10PM when I was still here at work. He was very fair over the years. Now I work for the Vice President of Decoma Specialty Vehicle Engineering (SVE). He doesn't know what I do day to day. I see him probably once a week, and that's generous. He's the antithesis of a micro-manager, which is pretty nice. I wonder what my bonus and raise will be this year? I bust my hump daily, and the only one that notices is yours truly. He seems like a fair guy, and actually gave me a slight rasie when I made my lateral move from Decoma ESE. He really didn't have to give me anything, but he did... and he had to bend over backwards to get Accounting to make the changes. Hopefully he'll be just as fair come bonus time in August. "An honest day's work for an honest day's pay..." If that's the credo for the day, then I probably deserve a total of $5.00-- before taxes. posted by Dino at 12:07 PM (permanent link) |
