"Feeling good on a rainy day."

"Feeling good on a rainy day."

Rain, rain,rain, rain, rain, rain, rain,rain, rain, rain, rain, rain,rain, rain, rain, rain, rain,rain, rain, rain, rain, rain,rain, rain, rain, rain, rain,rain, rain, rain, and lots of strong wind. The weatherforecast said this weather is good for our farmers in our country, I bet it is cause the rain was very needed. I like the rain, I can look at it for hours with a cuppa hot chocolate with some cream on it. My neighbor offered me a cuppa hot chocolate with two much cream on it, nice of her. I had a very nice day today at work, I finnished two wooden as-trays. The first one was almost screwed up two days ago by my Boss, but I fixed the sawing top this morning and afterwards I made another one. The second one was much easier to build. Today my Boss invited me for a talk in his office, (eek!) just a regular talk though about how things are going now and what he thinks of me. He writes every month a rapport of me like he also does with the other workers.

My rapport was good, but here and there he had some min points. I didn't agree with some off the  min points though, the Boss told me that I have to think to much or to long while I'm working, aswell I don't see the things sometimes what has the 'finnishing touch' on a product. Now my Boss wasn't mad or angry with these min points, but he just wanted to point me on this, and wants me to learn to do it better next time. Yes, I have to think alot while I'm working, and yes, I have to think sometimes (to) long. I sometimes don't remind me things, then I have to do my best to remind me what I have to do or think to myself, "How did I do that the last time?" These thoughts makes me work a bit longer on a product, but I'm still learning aswell, and I like the learning. Hey! I never worked with wood, gimme a break! LOL! I didn't agree with the 'finnishing touch' on a product, I surely have that. But sometimes I feel a pressure while I'm working and then I wanna do it to fast.

I have to learn not to do that, My Dad has the same when he was still working, oblivious we have the same caracters. The brain says, go! go! While the body says no! no! When the Boss and I were talking I had the oppertunity to tell him about his mistakes but, how on earth do you tell your Boss on a nice way he makes mistakes and shoves his mistakes then over to me? I did tell it though, and on a nice way, I told him it in a few examples. I told him a few things what happened the last few weeks while we worked together. I knew my Boss wouldn't get mad or would fire me, lol. I told him about the screwed up as-tray and that I didn't like it what happened. He explained me that I have to be more assertive then next time, he was waiting for my response while he screwed up, and yeah, "Everyone can make mistakes, even me." he admitted. 

It was a nice talk, afterwards I thought, "be more assertive Sjon!" Proof that you can do it, proof that you disagree with your min-points ! A total suprise today at work, Johannus showed up for a a few minutes. Woot! I totally didn't expect him, I thought right away about Ricardo, I asked Johannus if he had 'him' with him. But no! Sigh! I miss seeing him, missing the hugs and the things we did together. "I sure wanna see Ricardo once again," I told Johannus, we still have to do that meeting in his new house, "We sure do," he answered. But he's busy aswell, and he his a new girlfriend. (again) I was kinda shocked though after he told me that his new girlfriend is 47, Johannus is 37. The girlfriend he had before for a little while was 24, "I'm happy with her and the kids love her," told Johannus . He didn't stay long, and I told him again just before he left that we need a meeting soon in his new house. In wanna see Ricardo and give him a hug, Johannus will send me a message.

Working was nice today, like I told already in the beginning of this post, nice working, nice atmosphere, nice music, laughing and joking sometimes. It was all good. Am I happy? Hmm, maybe I can call it satisfied, or shall I just say I'm happy? Are there catagories in being happy? Alright,I'm not 100% happy but 75% happy. That's also good right? Okay I'm ending this post now, there's lots to tell still though, but that can wait till tomorrow....
