It is day<\/strong> 6 of my “work” process. \u00a0It has turned off cold with a north wind. \u00a0When I got here it was in the 70’s and felt great. \u00a0Over the past few days it has receded almost 30 degrees. \u00a0Now the early morning<\/strong> walks are becoming a “toleration” contest. \u00a0“Can I stand to stay out long enough to make my 45 minute daily walk”? \u00a0This morning<\/strong> it was really, really hard to finish up but I made it. \u00a0It is very strange because I lived in a very dry place in Colorado and the dry cold was tolerable if you can stay in the sun<\/strong> and it didn’t feel that cold (most of the time) but here when it get cold it is just DAMN COLD! \u00a0Maybe if I could only be out in daylight hours it would be more like my time<\/strong> in Colorado but unfortunately I am out by 4am for the walk, in the office shortly after 5am and the sun<\/strong> does ont come up till way after 7am. \u00a0By then I am frozen and cold and it takes the rest of the morning<\/strong> to get warm. \u00a0I know it sounds like whining and it is!<\/p>\n

Speaking of the “biting” \u00a0cold, there is another type of “biting” going on here. \u00a0We are in the focus or multiple changes. \u00a0First we had new management come in 6 months ago. \u00a0Immediately they started implementing “penny-pinching” strategies to align with a reduced revenue but much of what was being imposed was causing \u00a0job performance to go down. \u00a0It h as continued and now new work schedules and contracting is being implemented and the employees are not happy. \u00a0A strike was averted by having a 7am town hall meeting on Saturday and another one<\/strong> last<\/strong> night to detail managements plan but the workers are not happy. \u00a0This along with numerous other strategies is causing a serious lowering of the work attitude<\/strong> here. \u00a0This old saying is very much in tune with current situations: “The beatings will continue until the attitude<\/strong> improves”. \u00a0 I also like this Dilbert it is very relevant:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Tomorrow we will graduate the last<\/strong> group of our long-term students and send them out to be future supervisors. \u00a0I sure hope I don’t have to be on one<\/strong> of their locations – ha! \u00a0This comes back to the fact that “experience is a great teacher” and I am not fully able to impart experience training when the student is not willing to accept the work assignments associated. \u00a0We are only able to get them involved in “‘class-room intervention” as they do not feel that physical work is necessary for them to know how the jobs are done and need to be done. \u00a0They consistently balk at doing any form of “hands-on” labor so in turn their experience is extremely limited. The number of job failures and job problems speaks volumes about the lack<\/strong> of experience some have. \u00a0If they had been exposed more through experience, \u00a0many silly mistakes or just plain lack<\/strong> of understanding errors would be reduced or eliminated. \u00a0It all comes down to a risk calculation by many levels of management – put in cheaper less experienced people<\/strong> and take the risk that they will learn before they make costly mistakes and only hire the high-priced “experienced” people<\/strong> to get you out of the problem should it happen. \u00a0There has to be a better way than “See one, Do one, Teach”.<\/p>\n

I have also taken on a touch of either sinus problems or a small cold. \u00a0My whole family had this before I left and I thought I had escaped and still I think I did. \u00a0Unfortunately, the wearing of the 31 hour day<\/strong> and being in close proximity of so many people<\/strong> on the airplanes and in the airport cause me to now have possibly caught it from someone on my long flights or someone once I got here as there have been many that have lost their voice and sniffling around here? Mine is still not bad yet, just a little runny nose at times and so much drainage that I am drowning at times. UCK!.<\/p>\n

To be positive about all this – I only have 22 more days of this to put up with, this time<\/strong>. \u00a0Time to start thinking about Ham<\/strong> Radio activity for the winter and projects in the shop during time<\/strong> off. \u00a0Sure wish I had got that new Windom Antenna up already – maybe I will have a warm day<\/strong> and get it strung up for testing anyway in January? \u00a0– WD0AJG<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
