Midweek

Monday 9/28 was my first day back to work since 7/31. The first two weeks of August I was laid off and then on 8/18 I had my surgery. Since then I have been on short term disability. Monday I went back to work and felt like an outsider. Almost no one is there. We are still so slow that saying we have a skeleton crew at work is an exaggeration. I am working this week. I most likely will not be working next week. Who knows what the following week(s) will bring. I just want my job back. I want my super chaotic, balls to the wall, so busy I can't think straight job back.

I had a recruiter call me today. She was wondering if I was interested in a specific position for a local manufacturing facility. I am not qualified, and I told her that. There is no point in trying to sell myself to be something I am not. It isn't fair to anyone. She still wants my resume. After we talked she said that I have a lot of great experience. My international logistics experience particularly interested her. I told her that I really, really like my job, the company, and the people I work with. She understood, appreciated my honesty, and the dedication I have to my employer. She still encouraged me to submit my resume... just in case the company doesn't feel the same dedication to me at some point. I'm mulling that over.

I am keeping myself busy enough this week. There is always something for me to do. There are always improvements to be made and waste to be found and eliminated. I just don't like the uncertainly of the times.

Anyone want to buy a concrete mixer? Please?
