Tonight I have a heavy heart. Wayne's mother passed away this afternoon. He is upset, who wouldn't be when their mother died. I'm just at odds because I can't figure out how to make it better. Logically I know that I can't make Wayne feel less pain, in my heart I want to be able to take the sadness and pain away. I'm lost and I hate situations where there are no clear answers. Something which I need to work on is allowing situations to develop instead of trying to control the situations.
Today was a bear at work. I'm having a hard time accepting that the mediocre work product is acceptable. I truly believe that when you undertake a task, then you do the task to the highest level of production possible. Sitting in the Purchasing area this means buying quality product, at a good price, providing the paperwork which allows the store locations to receive and ship the material to meet our customer's needs. Right now at work, no one including my boss sees the value, of going the extra mile to insure our customers (both in house and external) have a satisfactory result. Not my business not my problem, should be our motto. I also have way too many supervisors and not enough chickens, and I'm the hen who laid the broken egg. I'm going to hold out for vacation to see if my view of the working enviroment changes.
Went driving with Hazel this afternoon. We laughed and she helped lift my work gloom and fustration. She is an amazing young women, who has a good idea of what she wants and is working hard at achieving her goals. I may have not had much day to day interaction in her younger years, but I'm just amazed at how she has turned out.
From her entries on Facebook I can tell Lavorne is having a good time in Florida. It makes me smile to thing of those girls and thier mother having a great time!
