Its official - The wife wears the pants!

For several years the wife has been working her way up the food chain in a decent sized electronics factory. It’s divided into 2 "rooms" PCB Boards and Wire. Over a year ago they made her a supervisor in the Board room. About this time last year they lost about 50% of their work force in layoffs including the manager. Others, including my wife assumed his responsibilities and they managed at first. Fast forward to now, and they have hired back all they had, plus some and their business load is 35% higher than it was in any previous qtr before the tank. Her stress level has been climbing again and they announced 2 weeks ago the addition of a supervisor and a new lead person to help. She also got a 10% raise last week. Today the plant manager sat in on a daily meeting that he never attends and when they finished he added that he would like to introduce the new PCB Board manager to everyone and pointed to my wife and said congratulations. Later in the day he notified her that the raise she got last week was what she had coming, the new raise will be added to that. Not to minimize her accomplishments by any means but she has never attended a second of post high school classes, never knew a thing about electronics before getting hired in there working the assembly line and frankly (all the love in the world) can be a real ding bat sometimes. But she worked hard, learned her jobs, was never afraid to try something new and master it and she is proof if you work hard you can move forward.

I am very proud of her.

Gotta go, I have to go plan tomorrow’s meals and clean the kitchen
