I work alone now. Everyone that I deal with now are only in for very small amounts of time. I talk on the phone--a lot, and type emails--somewhere in the 10 to 20 per day range--and that's it. I received, count, ship, count, email, count, phone, count and count. Oh shoot, I forgot answer your other question about having any friends at work.

I work alone now. Everyone that I deal with now are only in for very small amounts of time. I talk on the phone–a lot, and type emails–somewhere in the 10 to 20 per day range–and that’s it. I received, count, ship, count, email, count, phone, count and count.

An example is the records and book keeping that we must keep--someone modified our server and damaged our electronic files, and now all our files sit on one workstation. Yes, we have backups and hard copies, but now if payroll needs to get information they would have to drive from Langley city to Surrey to get them. Emailing a 10 gig file isn't possible. The owners though that shutting down the server and taking the monitor so they could a installation job was more important than us keeping records. When I approached him about it, he replied, "ooops." Our server is still down.

I think it's great that they are still even in business. I don't even know what the business is but there are a lot of things that a business have to deal with to stay in business. Basic things like leases/mortgages - taxman - suppliers. I've been both an employee and an employer and I can't help but shake my head at that one, come on, Tom. Hey - do you have any friends at work - or are they all at school? LOL I do agree with getting an education - it's most important. Gudrun Tom:
