What the hell. No wonder none of my managers ever went to management school. I have had so many managers because I have had so many jobs… It’s a rough gig. I would never do it. I am sure you would be a cool manager because you would be like, hey take a long lunch and go get high, no worries . Right?

When I got hired by the state of California it was an entry level position. I quickly learned that only rank&file were subject to random drug testing, not Managers or Superintendents. None of my rank&file co-workers met the MQ's to apply, but I was 5 credits short. So I enrolled in night school. The state will allow you to apply for the Managers and Superintendents tests if you were enrolled and close to graduation. Within 6 months I was on the Superintendents hiring list and was hired as Superintendent before my first year. Went home and rolled a big fat one and never failed a drug test. :eyesmoke:Retired after 25 years...There's something to be said for being the manager...:cool:

I was so relieved to see these cabinets set. Athough it's probably not good to have too much, there is a certain amount of confidence that trauma steals from you. After the fires I was unsure of my ability to work at all, let alone at a level I was use to. Every accomplishment no matter how small helps to regain all that was lost. This project has been huge in that regard.

Most management I’ve had to deal with around here are good at kissing ass but not much else. A bunch of self serving ass wipes.

I’m a bit old school I like it when the work is caught up and in line with standard work practices. So that the next person who has to work on it can pick up the work without having to figure out what the hell is wrong with this picture. Other than that I’m cool with you being you, but I find that if you are slack as a manager the employees will take advantage.

Honestly I don’t think I’m tolerant enough with employees to be a great supervisor but I’m working on it. It’s really hard for me to let go of the tech side in order to move into a management roll but I’m thinking of retirement and our retirement is based off of the best three years of our last ten years of employment. So I’m just planning ahead and trying to play the game so I can peek at the right time. But it’s not fun at all.

Took down the last upper cabinet on the north wall of my kitchen. There is only one on the other side. I need to get the last lower one loose tomorrow.
Found a guy to do the install for me for a good price. The Mrs kept bugging me to not do it myself because of my back. I'm OK with that, living on the couch sucks.
