Bored at work

truck2.jpgEveryone gets bored at work sometimes. Looks like someone got into a quick game of tic-tac-toe on the wheel of this Catepillar 777, out near the Kluane National Park in the Yukon Territories.

Fortunately, my job has been much more fulfilling lately. There are few things as frustrating in life as clocking in day after day at a job you don't enjoy. Having people the people who work for you that are dissatisfied with the job as well, and the problem compounds exponentially.

I think we've turned a corner at work. One particular night last weekend we seemed to really be firing on all cylinders; everyone fed off each other, and we accomplished a weeks worth or work in one 12 hour shift. If I only knew the exact catalyst(s)...

It sure beat paper airplanes and tic-tac-toe. Now if I can just figure out how to zap the bureaucracy and paperwork...

Just remember, don't burn yourself out too early...there are going to be nights/days that are slow...enjoy them as they might not come often. Make sure to give sound compliments to the workers, a meaningful word from an E-6 to an E-3 or E-4 can go a long way in ones career...take a minute or 2 on those slow nights to type up a positive remark for someone...better yet, keep a log book of all the subordinates under you; list their accomplishements per quarter for marks and whatnot...it pays off when you have to evaluate them and can reference what they did/didn't do.
Don't hold grudges, there is always work to do tomorrow...
