Paul came to the Maintenance Compound before I had my Coveralls on this morning. The subject was a particular Supervisor and the way he seems to target me when I’m doing my job. He seems to think that taking a Banister Brush to the outside of the Motor Coverswill remove years of built up grime in the inside. I assured Paul that Ivan would verify everything I was telling him and that he had to keep Kharen away from me if he wanted me to continue working for him.

Then we discussed how to improve the sound coming from the Exhaust Blower that we worked on this past weekend. I didn’t bother with the ~~Morning Walk Around~~ but headed back to the Mezzanineto try making the adjustments Paul suggested. As soon as he had the Paint-Line going and was confident the Workers could continue without him he joined me. Together we tried a few more things then agreed to just wait it out. Having replaced the Drive Belts on Saturday seemed to have been when this noise started. By noon this Exhaust Blowerwould be running as quiet as it should be. It was the Beltsthat just had to seat themselves.

Back at the Compound Paul wanted me to paint the Electrical Box Guardand he would order a new Hammer Drill since the old one was stolen on the last break-in. I barely had it back in the Compoundwhen Kharen shows up wanting me to work on the same Carriershe had me work on last week. I told him there were more of those Carriers then he needed and I would get to them when my other jobs were finished. He left the Compoundand I hand painted the Guard a Safety Yellow.

After my first break I painted the Mechanical Box I rebuilt on Friday for the Loading Docks. Not wanting to be bullied by that @#$%^&*I started rebuilding a second Mechanical Box. We do have Four Docks so having Two Boxes ready for a quick fix is not unreasonably.

I spoke with Kathy while on my lunch break and she encouraged me to remain calm and not let him bother me. My problem is that the accumulation of everything he has done to, yelled at, or accused me of will no longer go away and that is sad. I have worked with some people thought of themselves to be very righteous and actually developed a good working relation with them.

Fits like a glove.

I was just about to paint the second Mechanical Box when Paul had a problem and asked me to fix it right in front of Kharen. Things didn’t work out quite as Planned but it will easy to finish in the morning. The Planwas to use Self Drilling/Tapping Screws but I didn’t realize there was Cement behind a Frame.

Kathy had been busy but needed my help. After a quick wash up I cleaned up a very fresh Pineapple. By the time I finished that it was Kathy’s turn to make a Chopped Salad to go with slices of Chicken for our supper. It was all delicious.
