Thankful Thursday

Today I am thankful for my job. Especially in a time when so many people are unemployed and struggling. I am the service manager for our company and I have 5 technicians that I try to keep busy and productive. Sometimes it is like riding on a roller coaster when you have days that the phone never stops ringing and there are more service calls to repair copiers or fax machines than I have men to send out and then there are days that we almost no calls come in the we get a breather to take care of internal matters or do courtesy calls on customers we have not seen in 5 or 6 months.

Our company is a family owned business and we think of each other like family which makes working there more of a joy. I do feel blessed to have the opportunity to work for my employer who is also a friend.

  5. We are a little like family in my company as well and it is really nice! It makes having to work so much more pleasant when you have good people around.

  6. I think it is fantastic when people like their jobs. In my family it is rare. You are fortunate, Odie.

  7. It's all about keeping busy and finding purpose in life, regardless of what you do. I am glad you have a job you enjoy in this economy. I don't really have to work but I know I would be a basket case without having my blog to work on.
