Perpetual Ruminations

Wednesday

My day off for the week, and it's cloudy, and kind of gloomy out. That's alright, I have plenty to do inside, I just need to find some motivation to do it. I think most of it isn't related to the gloomy day, the colder weather, or even motivation, it's just that I'm needing some down time. I should be in here writing something, or at least writing something someplace.

Hopefully, the next few days will go well, and by Friday afternoon, we will have a new guard trained, tested, and ready to start working. I'll have to go in on Sunday night to work with her, just kind of there on the side in case of problems, then she should be ready to start working alone. That means two days off next week, instead of one.

That's dependent on her passing her test, of course, but I think she will do fine. I've had other trainees pass that didn't know anything when they started, so she should do fine. Also, Rhonda will be training her, and I think that will work a lot better than the last few trainees. Rhonda trained them, also, but they were both males, one a guy who was still a kid mentality wise, and who just didn't take her serious. He was a mamma's boy, and never held accountable by her, so he just didn't have any respect for women. The other guy, well he's more mature but seems to have a thing against working for a woman, so he just brushed her off.

With both of these, it's clearly visible in their work, too. One already quit, but only because he didn't want to get fired. The other is quitting in another couple of weeks. In both these cases, it's nice to have them gone, and I'm sure we will find better. In fact, the gal who starts training tomorrow will likely show them both up.

Now, I need to get a few things done.
