Flexible

Learned a bit about the work industry as a whole this week. Flexibility to do a number of different things is a must. For example a diesel mechanic might be a carpenter on a slow day, a carpenter could be a janitor when there's not much to do, and janitors may end up doing a bit of plumbing here and there. This week was somewhat slow on new fabricating jobs as we just finished our last and are moving Into our next. We spent lots of time doing things around the shop to improve productivity, scrap steel, and general clean up and organization. In the mix with all that was a few deliveries to Seattle where I dropped off some orders. All in all I learned the importance of being flexible and willing to do a number of odd jobs when things come to that. A good trait to have in any industry
