Well, my new job is starting to take off a bit. There is a Plant, about 40 miles from me that has been having issues for a couple of months. We have had one of our top guys down there for 2 months trying to figure it out to no avail. I would explain what it is, but what's the point....
Anyway, I went down to see what was wrong on Tuesday, I put in a full day, and decided to return the following day. Well, on the next day I talked to the Operations Manager at the facility.. we threw ideas back and fourth, and then for some bizzarre reason, my brain started to work... ( this is a very rare thing for me, just ask Klutz) I went out and looked over the situation again and told him what I was going to do. Now, this is a big "no-no". Never, ever do you tell a customer what you are going to do, they tell you what you are going to do...
Anyway. I told him that I would return that evening. ( this was yesterday) I went to my work, told them what I needed to make the thing work. Everything they were trying was a good idea, but totally wrong. ( another "no-no", don't ever tell your boss they are wrong.)
Anyway, another strange thing happened, they got me everything I said I wanted. This was strange, there is always red tape, paperwork, more paperwork... swear, it takes forever just to cut the cheese in that freakin place. Now, this was all done within an hour. So, I returned yesterday at the facility about 6pm, waited for the place to clear out, and went to town on the place.
When the Op's Manager walked in this morning at 8am, the first thing he saw was me. And I look like chit after not sleeping for 2 days, so it must have been a shock. The next thing he saw was his production area running flawlessly. Now, I don't mean to toot my own horn, "TOOT!", but I am very pleased right now. Kinda a cloud nine. I broke every freakin' rule in the book, no one stopped me, and it worked. I later thanked my boss for letting me take control of the situation. His way of thanking me, I leave to Oregon again on Monday, lol. I am enjoying today, because today I am a God.. next week I am sure I will be chit again.
Now, why don't some of you peeps share your accomplishments, things that made you say HELL YEAH!
Take care...peace... ( i go to bed now.....)
