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

Sometimes Sports are Just Sports

 This may or may not make the final cut of my book. I was writing about some events this weekend and what had started as a joyous Friday night at my home school district became a weekend of heartbreak in the area after what happened at another school. Sometimes We Need to Realize That Sports are Just Games   Friday nights in late summer and early fall are sometimes a big deal for high school students and their families. As the long-time band announcer for my local high school, it is a time of year I always look forward to. This past Friday night was originally supposed to be the homecoming game for the local high school. The schedule had to be changed a bit because of the uncertainty of the opponents being able to field a team. There was talk around the league that they may have had to forfeit this game, so homecoming for the local school was rescheduled. The opponents, which are rivals of my local school district, were able to field a team and the game was played. The game was

Lawson's Chip Dip

On a couple of occasions I have written posts dedicated to Lawson's, a convenience store chain that was located in Ohio for close to 50 years. In the late 1980's the chain was bought out by Dairy Mart, of Engfield Ct. Dairy Mart was then purchased by Alimentation Couche-Tard, and most stored were rebranded Circle K. Something that has survived the years since Lawson's has left the landscape is Lawson's Chip Dip. I get many hits on this blog from people out of Ohio, I'm thinking former Buckeyes, looking for availability of this chip dip. I had gotten an email from a former resident of Cleveland looking for it. I emailed Circle K about this sometime ago asking if it was possible to send the dip out to those out of state, they said because of quality issues that it was not possible. My only suggestion would be to get in touch with Circle K in your home area and ask them to start stocking this very popular item that seems to make every get-together complete. Now we wil
