Back to work

Well here I am, back to work and feeling great. On my first day back (May 5th) I even moved furniture around and cleaned my office up a bit. It is slow going trying to get back into the swing of things, it is surprising what you can forget when you don't do something for a couple of months!
While I was out of work my boss, John Knable, did my job along with his. He is a great guy and he did a really good job of keeping everything up to date. I don't know how he did it, I can't keep up with it and it's the only job I do! I actually think I do a pretty good job of keeping everything running smoothly, but John did a wonderful job of taking care of the paperwork. Adam Kepley, the supervisor for the shipping department, did a great job as well. While John took care of the reports and things Adam handled the scheduling of trucks and getting everything loaded. He is a real asset to the company. I am lucky to have such good people involved.
John asked me yesterday if I want to move my office. My office is currently upstairs and I have to go up and down quite a bit. John was worried that I may not be up to the stairs quite yet. I assured him that I am fine with the stairs and I actually enjoy the exercise. How many bosses out there actually give a darn about the people working with them, enough to worry about someone needing to climb a few stairs? I'd bet there are not too many. Thanks John, you are one of the great ones.
Speaking of jobs, I am thinking of moving out of the manufacturing side of things. While I was in the hospital I did a lot of thinking. Here were all of these wonderful people, doctors and nurses and aides and surgeons, taking care of me and I realized that I have never had a job in which I helped anyone. So that's what I am thinking about, moving to a field where I can help people, maybe to pay back some of the people who helped me. I have no idea what area to get involved with, but I'll be praying for some guidance and looking for an area that will fill the bill.
I would miss everyone here at work if I were to find something else to do, they are all great people and have really supported me through everything. Thanks John, Adam, Mark, Paula, Melinda, Stewart, Andy, Tony, Rhonda, Sandra, James, and anyone else I may be forgetting.
