Sounds like it may be a case of mismanaged agreement or "Action Anxiety" a la the "Abilene Paradox syndrome" -------------- i.e. - you both agree that its a problem, understand what needs to be done --- BUT he can't Get CRACKIN outta fear of the unknown -- which BTW is usually always a form of negative fantasy land scenario which NEVER happens

This paradox is OFTEN at hand in COMPLEX organizations when such issues are at hand especially project work

We'll see what happens tomorrow. I told HR I want to push termination. My boss wants to hear his side of the story first.

If he no-shows tomorrow, he's done anyway, but he knows the job abandonment policy is at three days. Me thinks he emails me tomorrow to tell me he won't be in.

Wow..I don't really make fruitcakes..but at work we give Holiday gifts to all the delivery drivers..including the people who deliver the granite from Vermont.

Right now I'm Updating current sales figures for our database..and working on a few design changes..The delivery driver is back and dicking around in the yard. Tomorrow I'm going to help him with some local deliveries..I'll probably have to wear underarmour..for the jobs we use the crane for..I'm pretty much just standing there and guiding the monument and strapping and what not which generates zero heat..

Currently wishing I didn't eat what i ate last night in Taiwan... It didn't taste that spicey.... But it sure feels spicy this morning..(0645 here)....

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Thinking about dinner options..spaghetti with sausage sound pretty good..

Wnat to know the lottery numbers?

 

[drjeff]

Wnat to know the lottery numbers?

Nope, but should I bet the over or the under in the Patriots/Dolphins game this weekend??

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

eating spaghetti....drinking beer..watching TV..surfing the net..My heat is cranking for about an hour and I'm going to shut it off in a little bit until I get home from work tomorrow..

 

[hardline]

just got home from the event i was doing. i think the running around did me some good. i feel a little better. we will see how i fell in the morning when i get up. thinking about where i want to go on tuesday or wensday to make up for missing this weekend.

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Getting ready for work..me and the delivery guy are going to move about 15 monuments that are sinking or off balance off their foundation and then our foundation guy is repouring foundations whenever the temperature allows..then we are resetting the memorials..I'm wearing my underarmour upper and lower for the first time this season..A cemetery is a cold place to be..especially since alot of the work we're doing is with the crane so lots of standing still

 

[drjeff]

Just drinking some caffienated beverage, reading the AM papers, surfing the net and getting ready for the 1st patient of the day

 

[Warp Daddy]
