I've been really busy and haven't thought much about writing here. I'm putting in some overtime at work. I don't know if I mentioned it, but I'm back in the storm unit again. We've had some pretty bad wind and hail storms in the last few months, plus I'm doing supplements and setting up re-inspects for Katrina. So the work has be piling up and up and we've been trying to tell our manager, but he is very passive. Finally things have gotten so out of control that, for the last few days, I've seen him sitting with his head in his hands. Then, last night he got up to leave and said, "things are really blowing up around here." I was passing by his desk at the time, and although I didn't say anything I was thinking that it was about time he noticed.
This morning I have a photo shoot. This time I'm bringing all my equipment with me. I need to get my act together and write a business plan.
Good luck with the photo shoot! It's too easy to forget to take something with you. It sounds like your manager has been noticing, just hasn't known what to do about it and isn't very communicative about things. NJ
