I don't need a title... >_>

Well, I'm nearing the end of my night-shift spree. After a Friday night/Saturday morning shift, I'm off for a few days, to get ready for my Saskatchewan trip.

It's been a wild ride at work the past two weeks, working 12 hours plus night shifts with Jamie. There's been extreme ups and downs, and now, now that our shift is coming to an end, I'm feeling happy.

Let's talk about Jamie for a minute. For all this time that I've come back to Sherritt, she's been mis-handled by the bosses. We were originally meant to work together as a unit. It was practical, since we both came at the same time, were close to work, were both hard working and reliable... But then the boss decided to split us up, and began to put her on jobs completely demeaning and non-associated with OUR job. Basically she got sent to go work as a scaffolder in their materials yard, without recieving the pay that a professional scaffolder would recieve doing those same duties. It was grossly unfair.
Frankly, she's had enough of it. I've been talking to her, helping her plan positive changes for her own life.
Today, just now actually, I just took her so she could drop off her application to HSE, a safety organization, where two prominent people in the field has already put in a good word for her. I'd put my good name in there too, but... well, THAT reason why I'm NOT going to is a different story, best saved for later. Heh, we're eating McDonalds now. Just the two of us, and none for anyone else. >_<
Last night I actually had to convince Jamie to allow herself to go home sick, even though she already knew that she was sick and tired, and unable to stay the full night shift. I told her that nobody would get mad at her for leaving. If anything, her staying sick and exhausted would be worse, since she was in a supervisory role, manwatching workers in a dangerous area. If she went home, and got a lot of rest, she could come back the next day with her usual positive attitude and a smile on her face. I think I also gave her the first and only hug I ever gave her last night.
Today she's better, much to my relief. K, enough about her. My turn now.

My current job situation looks a little bad. We're down to 4 active workers, 3 of which work full time at Sherritt, myself included. We are severely understaffed as a company, and my boss may end up losing his contract with Sherritt if he doesn't get any new workers this winter. The trouble is, with a worker shortage, and short in RELIABLE people..., it's hard for a scuzzy contractor company to get help when big shots are hiring left and right.
I don't care. I'm just saving up my dollars and getting ready. Ready for a change.

I have a lot on my mind right now, and many topics I can't post about yet, but everythings gonna be okay. Just trying to sort things out, day by day, and so far things are sorting out just fine.

Two more nights of nightshift, then I'm off for a bit of a break. See ya guys, I'm outta here for the night.
