"Second foreman!"

"Second foreman!" 

Today was my first day as a foreman, well, actually I was kind of a foreman together with another fellow worker. That fellow worker knows his job too, he's been working just a bit longer there then me. He's from Bosnia, he speaks and understands Dutch, though not so well. He's a nice and down to earth guy and a hard worker. Two foreman working well together, what he doesn't know, I know, and what I don't know, he knows. I'm glad he's around, I couldn't do it alone. Today was quit busy, with many orders and some orders what really had to be done today or tomorrow. 

Gosh, I was excited this morning, excited to go to work and do my job as a foreman. Showing my skills and work together as a team, today went well, we succeed the things what had to be done. Tomorrow another day, this will go on for four weeks, then our foreman will come back from his holiday. This working day went pretty fast aswell, it sure wasn't that easy, I can only have respect for my foreman. As a foreman you'll have to get the orders done in a certain kinda order, this order first, then that order and then that order, etc, etc. In the meantime you have to get your fellow workers to work.

Meaning, when they are done with the given work, you'll have to get other work for them. (Oh my English explaining, lol) Sometimes, (read: mostly) a secretary comes from the office with another order what really, really has to be done today or the next day, a rush order. You will have to decide then if  that rush order can be done today or the next day. Like I said, today went well, I'm not worried for the following four weeks. I love it, I feel like it's a challenge. 'Dare me,' lol! I learn from this aswell, it's good for me, oh and this day flew by like a rocket. Fun day, roll on Tuesday.
