Work Malaise...

Saturday was a good day @ work - we got one of our former employees back, Bobby. Bobby was gone for about a month & a half, and we all really missed him. Not only is he a damn hard worker, but he's a genuinely nice guy and a total gentleman. Yeah, he's nothing like me at all. Before Bobby left, we always exchanged the same greeting each morning - "What it do?" Yeah, a simple saying - but it's all in the way he said it that made it funny. I missed that few simple seconds of my day because it always made me laugh.

But even with Bobby back for 16 hours a week, I doubt we'll be able to get out from under the mountain of work we've accumulated over the past few months. So I'll continue to look for work elsewhere - both here in PA & back in Las Vegas. From what I hear, things in Vegas haven't been good as casino employees have been laid off, & plans for new construction have been put off.

But no matter how hard things have been since 2002, I always seem to land on my feet somehow. My grandma lived to be 98 - I guess I do have a lot of her in me.
