Weekend Updates 6/21
10 years ago
So...A bunch of new crap happening now.
Those following my personal journals may have noted a bit of a change in how I've been writing them. Day 0 was pretty much just a heads up, and day 1 was a very...half-assed journal entry. After the first week though, I think that kind of changed. I had a couple of you actually express some interest in this little study (yay, I'm not completely insane after all! maybe...?) and so I've changed the style a little bit, more from just partial notes to much fuller pieces. Strangely enough, this seems to be working out better for me; kind of like talking to myself in a way, I guess.
Most are probably aware of the few issues with some roommates as well. That's more or less resolved. They left behind a lot of...stuff, though. One other thing that amazes me about this entire situation is just how legally stupid they apparently are. Seriously, since when was it okay to take something without first receiving permission, written or otherwise? Did I like...miss a memo or something? Vehicular theft stop being a felony overnight maybe? I don't remember hearing about that.
Some other personal updates I suppose...
Finally been at DigiKey a year as of 5/5/15 so the little increase in pay was a major boost. Got more being put into my 401k for now, but I'll need to change the contribution this week so I have something to put into an investment fund...should be super interesting over the next few years. Hopefully, I'm right. More work news: We have NO manager for the department I work in so...well, basically things are a mess. We seriously need some new parts for the wire they decided to add to our workload. The line they added is a 28 gauge wire that we have to crimp tiny little terminals to. That in itself isn't a problem, but when our wire stripper doesn't want to strip them properly and the applicators can't be adjusted to work with these wires? Well, lets just say they cut our productivity in about half. Not to mention increased our error rate by about 35% Fun times. Hopefully that gets fixed whenever we get a new manager.
More work stuff!
Have an employee I work with literally driving the entire team out. No manager, so she's not going to be let go and we've already lost two of our best workers so (naturally) much more work for me xD Fun times. Another is looking to move departments so again, even more work until I can train in our new hires...Hopefully, this little issue is the FIRST to be addressed. Oh, and Day shift has been slacking again >.< Just because we're currently ahead doesn't mean you have to sit on your hands all day...lol
