2021 RETA Breeze Jan-Feb

whatever he wants to drive (well, so long as it’s a Chevrolet). So what do I think I deserve to do? #1 I deserve to be the best employee I can be. I’ve worked here a long time and they have been very good to me. I want to do what they need me to do. Not that I haven’t tried to do that before. I have. But I also did some of the stuff that I should have turned over to someone else. Thangs that took time away fromwhat they needed (or thought they needed) me ta do. And another thing, I don’t always have to be that crotchety old man that stamps his feet and gets his way because he said so. Maybe I can be that old crotchety man that takes the time to teach everyone to make the right decision.

#2 I deserve to finally take the time to convince those bean counters why all of my capital projects should be approved. #3 I deserve to be able to get supper before it’s cold. And I should probably add that my ol lady deserves to only have to cook supper once per day. #4 I want to be the one to recruit new operators. I know them HR people gather resumes, that’s great. But maybe with this new so-chia-al media on my phone, I can do some talkin on the internet. Find the kids some more help. #5 I deserve to finally take the time to fix that misspelled word on the control panel. “Recievedr”. What the heck was I thinkin that night?

#6 I deserve to pass on what I’ve learned. Let’s face it I’m closer to a box than most. I want all of the trials and tribulations I’ve been through to mean something. I want that new kid to avoid some of the hardships I’ve endured. His life will be better if he doesn’t need to make the mistakes I’ve made. So I need to take the time to do some more trainin. Maybe I deserve just a little more time under the shade tree. The shade tree grows outside of the little town of Broughton, Ohio. Where everyone is always welcome, the beer is always cold, and something is always needin fixin.
