So first thing this morning I got an azzchewing and raked over the coals by my boss over the 50' Jag that we're working on. Everyday I don't know if I'm going to be dealing with Mr. Hyde or Dr Jeckle. Yesterday things were great so I must've had Dr. Jecklle, he was extremely excited about the way the flatside of the front fenders and doors were nearly perfectly flat and just a little work left on the hood. Today I had to deal with Mr. Hyde.......... I was told that everything was and that I had pretty much wasted 3 weeks of time and accompanying materials. This started at 7am and lasted till about 10:30am when he left "to run some errands" but more than likely to get away from me.
Anyway, after I reprimed the hood, the flat part of the doors and fenders, I was cleaning the primer gun as usual and I got a text from my wife that she would be pulling up in front of my work shortly. I thought well she's an hour early for lunch but okay. That's when the finishing touch came. I had missed 3 calls from one of my sisters taking care of my mother, well my wife Brandi came out to tell me in person that my mother had passed away around 8:30 pacific time. As per her last wishes, there will be no service or memorial, just the cremation and burial next to my dad. I don't know when I'll be back home or on here.
Holy . God bless you and your family. I hope you all find peace.
My condolences.
Wish ya the best, let us know if there is anything we can do for you.
My condolences...
Sorry to hear. You have my sympathy (boss) and condolences. I know you'll pull through, but wow, it sounds rough. May you find peace and comfort for your family in your loss.
Condolences to you and your family.
My sympathies to you and your family.
Sorry to hear that. :(
Thank you all for the condolences and prayers. I'm unable to go to Washington for the burial. I'm ok with that. I know that my mother is in a peaceful place with my father and my neice watching over me and my family. When I'm able to, I will make the trip to visit their grave sites.
As far my boss goes, I'll just deal with him as I really do love what I'm doing. I'll just my xanax handy lol
I hate to hear this, thoughts and prayers your way man. And don't let a rude boss affect you, because from your posts I can tell you love what you do! In the end our jobs aren't what's important anyway, family and friends are what matters!
I had a boss like that once, I finally chalked it up to him having a first and middle names of girls (Lory Lorraine) and just moved on...literally. Found another job doing what I do and never looked back. More importantly sorry to hear about your mom.

My condolences on the loss of your mother.
My condolences
My condolences to you and your family.
John, my sympathy to you and your family.
Once again, Thanks to everyone for the condolences. I was able to fly out a couple of months ago for a few days to visit. Mom was put on hospice full time at that point and I was able to say my goodbys then. I told her that it was ok with me for her to join dad and April (my niece that passed from breast cancer @ 23). That in itself has made her passing a tiny bit easier, a tiny bit.
As far as dealing with Dr. Jeckel and Mr. Hyde, I'll deal with him or I will move on.
well said and I agree.
Sorry for your loss and keep you chin up
Ok, so today I went to get my paycheck. I had close to an hour long talk with my boss. By all appearances, I'm going to be moving on and looking elsewhere for employment. I love what I do but I've had enough of the bi-polar with the unwillingness to listen to anybody but his supplier.
As far as my mothers' passing goes, I'm doing good.
Sorry to hear that John I feel for ya buddy still dealing with things from when my mom passed away back in July. One day at a time.
Thanks Clayton. Hope everything going good for you now.
