Maybe it's time we contact our elected officials and tell them to get back to work and get something done.
We still have no legislation passed on energy and immigration policies.
In fact, I haven't even heard mention any pending discussion on immigration.
This type of bureaucratic work ethics was ever so prevalent when I worked for county government.
Work started precisely at 7:00 AM
8:00 AM - All the BS and visiting was done, work jobs assigned, tools and material rounded up and workers left for assigned work sites.
8:15 AM - Arrive at job site and set up to do work. (30 minutes of work)
8:45 AM Prepare for morning break, secure tools, load up (not leaving unattended tools.)
8:55 AM - Return to shop, prepare to go on break
9:00 AM - take elevator up to cafeteria, begin break
9:20 AM - 15 minute break over and returned to shop.
9:30 AM return to job site. (1 hr 15 min of work)
11:45 AM - Prepare for lunch break
11:55 AM - Return to shop.
12:00 PM - Take elevator up to cafeteria, begin lunch
12:30 PM - Lunch break over, prepare to return to job site.
12:45 PM - Return to job site and set up for work
1:00 PM - Begin work after lunch has had time to settle.
1:45 PM - Prepare for afternoon break. (45 mins of work)
2:00 PM - Take elevator up to cafeteria for coffee break.
2:20 PM - Return to shop and leave for job site
2:30 PM - Continue to work
3:00 PM - Clean up job site, load tools and return to shop. (30 min of work)
3:15 PM - Return to shop, social time
3:29 PM - Most workers at elevator doors waiting for shop clock second hand to reach exactly 3:30 PM
3:30 PM - doors open on elevator, workers leave.
I didn't fit in with my fellow workers, seems I wasn't a "team player."
Lunch and breaks started exactly on time. My problem was, If I thought I could finish a job, I would work through morning break and lunch, finish the job and then take a leisurely lunch.
I caught a reprimand from my supervisor for working "too well" when some of my fellow workers complained I wasn't taking breaks, on time.
