As you've no doubt noticed if anyone reads this, I work for a construction company and a fairly large one at that. I've gone to some lengths to disguise who it is, mostly because I sometimes discuss internal issues and it's not your business who I work for. The point is that I have a new favorite quote from a CEO. He's not a rock star CEO, but he's in essentially the same business I am, construction.
“I look forward to the day when the majority of our operational highlights no longer consist of our effectiveness in shrinking the company.”
this is from the CEO of Ryland homes, and I feel his pain. I figure we are down by an easy 1/3 and maybe more over the last 15 months revenuewise. At least we are still profitable, although good lord only knows how long that will continue.
Going back to the job search that I discussed briefly in the last post......not a damn thing going on. Not even a bite on the couple of resumes I've sent in to people. It's my opinion that if you are going to recruit on the web, there should be a rule that you have to send a receipt confirmation.
Not a lot else going on. Traveling again next week, and I can't decide if I'm looking forward to it or dreading it. At least we can hopefully get some work done on integrating with our new owners, and maybe get some questions answered.
At home, things are pretty dead. School is going well for all concerned, and only my honey has been sick for the last week or so. I can't bitch too loud cuz she may have picked it up from me and my travel over the last couple of weeks. Halloween tomorrow and the golden children are very excited.
Later
