In Like a Lion

Here it is - April (hard to believe - I skipped an entire month of blogging!).  It is coming in with a VENGEANCE!  The wind has been blowing at more than 30 mph from the south.  I have decided to start back to the Vortex early.  Rather drive while I can see.

The past month has been full of challenges at work as well as in the training world.  Not much training, not much progress toward the needed changes at work.  Bright spot - 3rd in my division in last weekend's 5K (Penguin in the Park). 

Have decided that work challenges are not a result of people wanting to do a good job - but because they keep trying to do my job (and the jobs of others) rather than their own.  Interesting situation.

Vortex continues to be the same.  Still on the market (she really thinks it is worth $124K - HA), and only two showings that I know about.  Flooding on the road to the Vortex finally subsided after almost 5 days.  Ohio still out of its banks in places.  Fort Massaic still flooded in parts.

Plant now in annual shut down.  It should be an interesting month.  Hope to see inside the production unit.  What the heck, after four and a half months it is time to see exactly how we make the "stuff."  I learned about cement the first week I was in the plant.  Strange work environment in the "rabbit hole."
