Happy Hump Day

Happy Wednesday. Today was busy; stressful at times, but OK. I started out working in Sub for Cathy, where I finished my last 2 diaphrams from yesterday's stack, but was soon put on The Line, where we were running HNA 373. Brenda Skipworth and I worked together, putting on tie straps, sticky ties and criss-cross ties. Brenda is a "New Hire"; she just started on May 31. According to a Union letter that I got last week, Weber has hired over 300 employees in the last year. We finished up the HNA just before lunch, and stared running AIR ALGERIE (ALG 737). After lunch, Brenda and I wrapped cables (Sub work) for the next shipset, which will be Delta #7, while The Line continued to run the ALG. We were working for Janie, who I consider to be my actual Lead Lady, but I work wherever they put me (there are 5 Leads in my area--Dolly, Cathy, Janie, Bobby & Clay). My friend Nedra walked by then and said, "You've moved again?!" Story of my life. I'd like to think that I'm that valuable as a roamer, but the truth is, they haven't yet discovered what I'm good at. (JK). Still...Shortly before 2 p.m. break, Glen sent me to articulate bottoms with Nedra and Margit. We were running the ALG, and The Line was grabbing them as fast as we could get them out. These are fabric seat bottoms, and there's a LOT of steps to building them. It is one of my favorite things to do, though, and Nedra & Margit are 2 of my favorite people out there (along with Ann, Cheryl, Linda, Rene, Mary, Judy, Marci, Janice, John, Larry, Louise, Joe, etc., etc.!!!). Best of all, we got to go home at 3:30 again today. We've been working 10 hour-days for so long now, I hardly know how to act anymore when we don't. Bought groceries, made spaghetts, washed dishes; hope to "crash" soon; tired!
