still in mid afternoon

When I chose the name of this blog I thought it was a funny play on words between a line from a counting crows song and a job that usually lets me sleep until ... But now its taken on a new meaning...... fatherhood waking up at around 3-4pm is essential if my new baby is to be fed changed burped and kept happy. Sydney Grace Corbblah born on Oct 27 at 1:06 am 9 lbs even and 21 1/2 inches short is my best reason for everything. I hope I can be a good father to her....I have never been so happy to wake up in the afternoon.

On the map

Chsp -comprehensive health & safety process is what I do every now and again we talk about my safety committee but a brite note ...this week we had the regional CHSP Manager for our sub comm and the head of UPS Chsp these men write our charter for contracts and over see 40,000 (region) & 480,000 ups employees(head) for safety concerns and both are impressed with our committee, with their business cards and their understanding of what we do our sphere of influence is growing exponentially I'd like to see where this goes...

4900

4900 Days ago I started to work at UPS, a job I got in part because of my persistence and in part of a kind departed friend. At first I thought it was a job to to for the summer and maybe find a college to finish school. 13 years 4 months and 30 days of becoming a better man professionally, added responsibility and a safety committee later we are the best safety wise for our type of sort in the country and .... I am now full time . Ups is no longer my job Its my career. and for what is worth not that bad a career at that... hopefully I'll still have time to wake up in mid afternoon.

I am full fed up

Again comes the most busy time of the year and with a little controversy my job is still intact.
Full time .... sometimes a pipe dream sometimes a fact this week shows why both are true Monday 3 old friends and 1 acquaintance were promoted to full time. (congrats to Herm, Randy and Horace to Tony I can only say you worked 17 years turned down the job twice and now decided to take it so fine its still yours and I will have to wait... but if it works out not too long . for those who don't understand If I go full time the bump in salary isn't that big. but It will Allow me to transfer out of new york when the time is right to move. to say Seattle. Happy thoughts and wishes

Risk & Reward

Every now and again an evaluation of life must occur the inherent idea of risk and reward comes into focus risk: (what life is like now) reward: (what it could be like) .... the younger you are the easier the chances to risk what you have for something better the older the more you are willing to hold on to something safe and comfortable In the end you only live once and only you can berate or forgive yourself for the failures, and the victories.. only feel good if what you risked is worth holding on to.

The Big Weekend

OK I will see spider man 3 Very soon. Its on this blog enough.. safe to say it will be the biggest summer movie. but that only begins my weekend(well not quite) a marathon Safety meeting started my weekend. Tomorrow I may cut my hair ... maybe. Gotta See my father because my uncle died and I am upset more that I am indifferent about it, instead of sad; mostly because I didn't know him. So then to my mothers to fix the printer and say hello. Then visit another friend and help her out, and another just to have a little fun.
But at least the computer is fixed and I can do this blog again.
