chapter

Gagan took the day off today. No problem, he usually works over 40 hours in a four day period anyway. Job a61 had some of their own painters come in and paint their cabinet. I don't usually do that but we made an exception on this job, they are really good guys. And the truth is that we don't usually do brush painting on big items. a61 is an enormous piece of outdoor mill work, and the paint really needs to be brushed on for proper penetration. So it's better to have these guys here.
We have got an emergency job to push through the shop this week, a33 needs four doors built and installed in two weeks. We can handle that kind of stuff with ease, that is one of the things that makes me proud of my organization we have two solid lines of production that are always going sometimes they are overlapping and the team focuses on one line at a time and sometimes we split up and focus on five different projects, How do we keep it all in check. Our weekly staff meeting, one of the most important things that we do. Once a week we meet and go over the goals on a team level and an individual level. that is where we air out any beefs with each other or the infrastructure(machines, material). I think we should call it chapter. In many ways we are like monks, when you work so long together and everyday it is like living with people. In that scenario their needs to be a place to openly communicate our experience with the past week. To help eliminate resentments and keep ourselves focused on the goals. It's a good place to swap around the leadership roll, we can practice our communication skills. It fits in with the key parts of being a team, that is a sense of structure. The staff can rely on the weekly meeting to get his marching orders for the week and find out what the team maneuvers are for the week.
