My day gig? I work in Supply Chain for a publicly-traded company. That means a lot of things, on a lot of different levels. One thing for sure is true: we get busy at month-end, and quarter-end. We're not alone. Our friends on the Accounting Side see their game ramp-up at the same time. And …
Month: September 2019
Luke 9: 43-45
I somehow got myself turned around with readings from recent reviews. "Fight the good fight" (one of my favorites, as mentioned earlier) from Timothy was actually intended for 09/29. Or maybe not...? Regardless, I shared it last week. All GOOD. It has me looking at other readings for this weekend, and voila!, a little fresh …
Date Night
Saturday night is Date Night for me and my honey. Drafting this post earlier in the week, for Saturday "go live,", which might indicate: 1/ I'm super exited about having some couple time with my Better Half, and; 2/ I'm already thinking about just what we can do for our date, in addition; 3/ This …
Pay to Play
This is the last week of the regular season in Major League Baseball 2019. By virtue of geography and circumstance, I'm a San Francisco Giants fan, and this season will go down as a tough one -- they'll end up way back in the National League West, and done when the regular schedule concludes. Bruce …
Lyrics Post: “Fight the Good Fight”
Last Sunday I shared a verse from one of the scheduled church readings for the week, from the New Testament, Paul's First Letter to Timothy. I correlated the reading to a song by one of my favorite bands, Canadian power trio Triumph. Here are the lyrics to that song. Still inspires me today. Fight the …
SOX Wants: An Audit Sample
Funny what an audit inspires... “It begins, it begins, with a friendly request; let's see a sample of your documentation for your orders of work. Everybody does it, gotta do it too. Let's see the work order document itself. Let's see the Goods Issue documents. Let's see the Goods Receipt documents. In the system, it …
Grill Therapy
The missus and I had a little miscommunication last weekend that had me a little miffed. It wasn’t that big a deal but it bugged me. Right after the exchange I headed out to the grill; the plan anyway was for me to cook, so I had a built-in retreat. The kids were inside playing, …
ReWork
Funny concept, "rework." In the role at work I've been doing the last couple of years it comes up periodically. In a manufacturing environ, it's the idea of "reworking" material to maintain commercial continuity, etc. Let's go just a bit deeper on the importance of rework and the concepts of managing it properly. The main …
1st Tim, 6: Fight The Good Fight
Reading for Sunday, 09/22/2019 From First Timothy 6: 11-16, in part... "You must aim to be upright and religious, filled with faith and love, perseverance and gentleness. 12 Fight the good fight of faith and win the eternal life to which you were called and for which you made your noble profession of faith before …
Teamwork
I wrote about this idea earlier in the year, in the context of parenting. It's an obvious concept that makes a BIG, positive difference raising kids. But it applies to so, SO many other areas. Human beings are social animals. We've evolved and succeeded (survived) because we've learned to work together. Teamwork is natural then, …
