TommyLog: Tommy’s Lookin for Work

Well I guess things at HC Miller are much worse then I thought. So bad, I lost my job today. I was put on temporary leave of absence today starting on friday. There is a chance I could go back, but not counting on that at all.. I was told 3 weeks to a few months but now I’m not sure who to trust anymore…

I’m hurt, stunned and really numb to the whole thing. I have NEVER failed at anything and I look at this as a small failure, not cause the loss of work, but because as a Dad, I can’t live up to my financial obligations to my family, both here and with the big kids. That hurts the most…

So if you know of any work, side, social media, prepress, web site… janitorial.. I’m game!

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!

TommyLog: Loud and Clear

Well the people have spoken and I think there was a clear message. People are not happy with whats going on. Right or wrong, people are really not pleased. Wisconsin has a new Governor, new representatives in the House and Senate and a new tone has been set. Its such a divisive topic and speaking to friends about politics is not something I feel comfortable doing. It never ends well.

The one thing to learn is that this changing of the guard happens every 2-4 years. I have seen it before and it will happen again. We will get through this and we will move forward. I guess the big point is this. When you are hired by the people to do a job, listen to what they say and do their will or this type of thing will happen over again.

Good luck guys, you got your wish..now get ready to go to work!

Tommy’s Blue & Gold Banquet

Today was Tommy’s Blue and Gold Cub Scout banquet. What a great day to be a kid. I’m so proud of my son Tommy. Today made me think fondly of my father and all the sacrifices he made to be with me and my activities. I love being a dad!! I love the example my dad is for me and my life. Fatherhood is amazing. You can’t put it into words.

Only 3 more days left at my current job. I’m so excited. Well actually really 2.5 as my exit interview is at 11:00 on Friday. And after that I guess I just go back to my desk and cry the afternoon away… So great! So Amazing to see what next!!!

IT’S HAPPENING!! 2 Weeks Notice

Today after lots of soul searching, talking with friends and prayer, I put in my 2 weeks notice at the place I have worked for fourteen and a half years. Leaving my friends I have made there is not a move I take lightly, but this move is just the BEST move for me and my family. The ability to move from a HUGE printer to a much smaller one just makes sense. The ability to grow and to spread my wings and grow, its whats needed at this time. Today was a monumental day for me and one I need to share. I’m sorry for being such a sap, but you know how soft I can be and this is no exception.
