Life sometimes can be fair

Being the textbook example of a nice guy, I sometimes get my share of the shaft. the past couple of weeks have been the exception at work. We just went through a quality audit and the shop I work at passed. I had a panic attack this morning thinking that I was going to mess up real bad(my strong suit has never been self confidence.)

Well this morning we had our quality audit at work. I am the only quality inspector at the shop where I work. We have another shop in Cleveland and that's where the quality manager's office is located.

The past year, has not been my most productive and this morning I saw things that needed to be done and promptly had a meltdown. My plant manager saw the latter end of this and took a few minutes to calm me down and let me know that I had done my job well and we would get through the audit fine. He left and I got online and sent several of you emails asking for your prayers, and for that I thank you from the bottom of my heart. God is good-All the time!

The auditor came into the shop, checked out operations, came into my office, and left satisfied.

I then thanked the plant manager and others who had my back during this audit. I will be bringing in donuts from Ann's Pastry Shop this Thursday as a thank you for those who helped me out.

I should be putting this on my other blog, but all who read this one are always good to say that they are praying for me, and maybe someone surfing around after typing "WIXY" in a search engine might be looking for a few good people. Everybody who make regular stops here are good people.

you're as genuine as they come Cliff, the real deal.

If it's any comfort, I hate Quality audits too. I'm on the list every month and I'm certiain it's because the Quality Nazi loves to see me squirm and sweat. She actually smiles if she makes me cry like a little girl.

I'll have to send out a blast prayer request the when I get the next audit schedule.

I will definitely return the favor when it comes, and I'm sure you can go through your blogroll with the request.

Glad you made it through Cliff, but I don't doubt your abilities to achieve success -- you are a man of faith, and when one works with faith anything is possible.

Biz is right, "God works in mysterious and wonderful ways."

You are always in my prayers .. have a good day!

Post 800: Time to chat

Hi Guys, It's hard to believe that this is post number 800 for this blog. I started this blog out of my desire to communicate. Since radio and television is becoming more and more automated and less and less personal, I'm glad I made the decision to go in this direction as it has given me many blessings. When I first decided to write my musings, a friend from the radio and television boards who goes by the name of newsnomore, told me not to be discouraged if I didn't get any readers. The fact that I did in the early going made me surprised and grateful that anyone was enjoying what I wrote. I've had people tell me that maybe it wasn't meant for me to ever be in radio, that maybe my calling was blogging. Nowadays I think blogging makes for better two way conversation than terrestrial radio, especially the way I do it, non confrontational. The closest I come from any confrontation is the innocent digs that Pat and I shoot at each other. On an average day I get betwee...

Why?

What I'm posting now is with the blessing of Chelle. Chelle is the cousin of Suzanne's husband, Richard. I had gotten the impression from both of them that they were about as close as sisters. Suzanne had been a friend of mine since I had discovered one of her blogs in July, 2006. We would make reference to each other on our blogs and would have dialogue via email quite a bit. It was no surprise to me that she was friends to many other bloggers as well. I felt it was quite an honor to be held in as high esteem as I was. We even talked to each other on the phone on occasion. I felt as we had known each other for a long time. I also knew that Suzanne was having some personal problems, much of which had to do with a very troubled marriage. I would let her bounce things off me, and I would send her some encouragement. While she was going through some of her marital problems, she made herself available to give me a lift when I needed it. My son was having some problems of his own a...

Bananas and Sleep Apnea

First thing I want to do is welcome all the good folks from Australia who are checking me out as a result of Google searches. I recently wrote a post on sleep apnea , discussing my history with it and my new CPAP machine. Because of this and the name of my blog, this is the top site google lists when somebody types "bananas sleep apnea" into the search line on Google. All of the sites I have seen, that were not the usual sites that come here, ended in "dot au" which I know as Australia. Normally the only hit from down under is by my good friend David McMahon. The reason for the search is that a research team in Australia has found. as a result of a study, that drinking a banana smoothie may assist in easing conditions that cause sleep apnea. Phospholipids, or fatty acids, in bananas stay active in the mouth for six hours and may keep the throat open, therefore reducing the risk of choking. Further studies will expand to those, like myself, who need a breathing machi...
