Work, work, work....

Okay, you get the jest of this posting from reading the title of this blurb. I work long hours from 7AM to 6PM. Not by choice but rather theres soooooooooo much to get accomplished and 8 hours is JUST NOT ENOUGH! Its not a matter of not being able to managing my time wisely but the lack of support and knowledge within the company. I'm involved with developing and overseeing the combustion turbine maintenance and operation program for the company from scratch so there wasn't a template to begin with. Old timers are set in their antiquated work ethics and cant keep up with fast pace, high demand from today's workforce. In addition the generating industry has moved from manually operating valves and knobs to the push of a button with high technological equipment. For the young bucks, they adapt easier in this digital era..but for the older folgies they are subborn in their old ways. Like they say, its diffifult to teach an old dog new tricks. Anyways, the challenges faced at work stimulates my creative juices but i need the balance between work and family. The attrition rate is crazy high which gives a positive outlook on how the employees are treated and the benefits received. hopefully ill stick around long enough to realize and appreciate the comapany but in the meantime, the clocks ticking and the door is wide open for a quick dash, stage left.... "westcyde!".
