Busiest you have ever been in life
It could be easy to complain that I am so busy at work and in life but seeing how so many people are struggling and the economy still sucks in many parts of the US I will refrain.

However, for only one of the few times in my life I feel like I am chasing my tail and stressed out as to how busy both our company and I am trying to keep up with all the work. Paychecks are skyrocketing and many things in life are going great yet I feel lost as I can only tread water to keep up while working. Being a top sales person can do that to you.

I am an extremely organized and hard working individual and to feel so lost and out of control is not easy or comfortable for me.

So tell me, how do you handle being hit with a tidal wave of work that doesn't seem to have an end in sight and yet keep chipping away to reduce your to-do list to a manageable level? I thought after 30 years of this I was an old pro but I am not so sure anymore......

My job is non stop from pre job inspections, ordering parts, making sure daily tasks are completed, going job to job helping crews that run into problems, etc etc etc. There's so much more to it, such as when multiple crew members call in sick or having personal issues. It's a complicated job.
If you're doing all that, then your leads aren't doing shit. Train them to do 3/4 of the crap you just listed

My FIL sold his lake house in Wasaw near Turkey Creek Marine just a couple years ago. Lots of catfish and crappie in that area.

Working is easy, its the dealing with people shit that causes problems... your position as manager is definitely tough, particularly when you work in a field full of barney badass types, IIRC you work on oil rigs?

I have two cousins in Wyoming who do that and these mfers are some rawboned, wildhaired, shit talking mfers... I cant imagine having to manage them lol... a tough job calls for tough people.

A quick story that might help... middle of july at Ft. Campbell KY and by some fluke I was a squad leader a few months in, hadn't been there long at all and its Friday. The order was to sweep the line of vehicles in the motor pool, like 30 vehicles long, it took a while.

So theres no E6 around he'd bailed and as an E4 they're looking to me, after almost everyone by some hook or crook had been able to go home early... being new there, I thought it would impress to tell these guys to go home "I'll get it, go ahead and go".

Damned if they didn't mill around for 3-4 minutes while I swept and then decided to join me... the lesson, IMO? its a classic... never ask subordinates to do something you aren't willing to do yourself, if good people see you working hard they'll feel bad to leave you there all alone.

Luckily my wife has a brain. I said if we save on the wedding, the sooner we can buy a house. She was more than willing to make that sacrifice. We had a nice but small outdoor wedding with catering and open bar reception for less than 5k. I wouldn't have changed a thing.

Smart girl, mature... some young idiot would've insisted on a fairy tale wedding with both of you riding in on tigers and drinking Moet from the Holy Grail.

Sounds like you got a smart one who could see the big picture, congrats.

Thanks Jason, I appreciate it. We bought a place on Tablerock just off of the Y near Branson West. It is right across the water from Cape Fair Marina.
