something or other

Haley said something very funny the other morning, I mean night, now I can't remember what it is. Man it's going to bug me all night now, or morning I should say. In a couple of hours it will be night to me, but definitely morning to a lot of you, so I bid you a good morning, unless it's night, who knows anymore. Doesn't it seem like one day just kind of moves into the next day until one day you have a day off, but your really not off, before you know it your back at work and you wonder "was I really off to begin with"?
what was it she said? Holy crap it was so funny, I was going to tell Em about it when she got home from her first young women's outing, but after hearing about her fun filled evening I totally spaced telling her and now for the life of me I can't remember, but believe me if you heard it, you would definitely be laughing. (I am just thinking about it and I don't even remember what it was to begin with, that's how funny it was). Now I know most of you are thinking "will he remember by the end of this", I hope so.
I remember that it had something to do with taking a word out of context, and saying ""something or other. Ok, I do remember that I had asked her something and she had twisted it around and made it something totally different, it was pretty funny!
Just wanted to share that with you, Haley always makes me laugh, just wish I knew about what.
Just now one of my operators came in and I said "I'm glad your hair", I meant here, but said hair. I had just noticed he had gotten a hair cut, so I said "I mean I'm glad your hear, your hair isn't here, but it was, for some reason its not now".
I'm so tired right now, I should just stop typing and go get some fresh air and a coke, 2 hours to go, enjoy your day all, maybe I'll publish another post sooner then later.

work work work

Work's been challenging lately. Last week I lost my temper with an employee, who of course started in on me first, still no excuse. Now my boss is debating weather to switch me to another crew, or let me handle the situation myself.
Another thing that's been hard is there is a new operator who is still on probation and already has an attendance issue. HR wants me to terminate her on Monday after they give me some counseling on how to go about it. It really sucks seeing her at work all weekend and hearing her stories and plans for the future, when I know that come Monday I'm going to make her cry. "Not the funnest part of the job".
Sometimes I think about going back to the floor and just worrying about myself, but there's a lot about my position that I love, and for the first time in a long time I actually like what I do for a living. Even working the overtime (even though I'd rather spend my off time with my family) isn't to hard or stressful anymore. And when you do work it, it's not like your getting forced to anymore, instead your helping a buddy out that needs the time off, and most of the time we end up swapping shifts.
Sorry this post isn't very exciting, but that's what you get at 4:30 in the morning.
