RANDOM STUFF

Well conference has come and gone. I really enjoyed it, as usual, especially Pres Monsons talk. I can't quite remember the gist of the talk, but I sure do remember the power with which he spoke. It was truly amazing. The weather is still nasty, not as nasty as it is there, but it is nasty. Last Fri I came in, just to see that Flip Flop Woman had redone every thing I had done the night before. She had not looked in the locker where it was ready to go to Take out, she just did them again. Two of the 4 Meat and trays that needed to be done were finished and 2 needed cheese which was measured and ready to be arranged on the trays. The other 2 were marked off in yellow highlighter as being done. The standard is that when we are completely finished with the item we mark it off, but NOT UNTIL IT IS FINISHED. She is apparently not willing to do it that way even though every on else in the kitchen knows this is the standard, Just as often as not she marks them off before she even starts them. This has been a sore point with me, because she often forgets what she is doing, and or leaves before she is finished with it, I have been ready to leave on more than one occasion when Take Out calls and asks for such and such and she has marked it off, but hasn't done it. Anyway I was furious. She had even gone to the manager and said that I hadn't done anything the days before. Fortunately for me my work area is opposite his office which has a big uncovered window in it and he can see what I do all afternoon, so he knew that I had done them. If she would have looked in the locker that all of the other TO items were in she would have seen them. She did see the unfinished ones and finished them. I saw later however that she had measured out more cheese to finish them, because the one I had measured out were still in the locker I put them in. Her excuse was that I had marked off two of them, but 2 were NOT marked off, so she redid them. I said that the ones I marked off were the ones in the TO locker and the ones that were not marked off were the ones that needed to be finished. By the way I was the one that was going to finish them when I got in, they weren't due until 4:00 P. M. Anyway I explained that I only mark them off when they are COMPLETELY finished. That is why we have the rule to mark them off only when they are completed. Anyway she ended up buying one for her family and the other lady bought one for herself. They cost $80.00 apiece. These are the kind of things that drive me nuts. Sigh.

HELLO

I am still here plugging away I will try to get a new more extensive and perhaps interesting blog post on here in the next few days. Don't forget to watch conference this weekend. That is why we have had such temperamental weather these last few days. Love you all.
