more work stuff

well, on saturday morning i showed up to work thinking it was going to be a regular day. wrong. 28 hrs later on sunday i finally got to go home. sure now that im a supervisor, my work in not very rigorous, but 28 straight hours of being awake can take a toll on anyone. on my way back home i was veering off the road and had a hard time keeping myself awake despite constantly telling myself not to nod off. well that is over. as far as me being traffic control supervisor, im not very pretentious and dont let the title get to my head. as far as i see it im just a tool at their disposal, kinda like an air compressor or truck. they see my hard work ethic and my aptitude and figured i could pass a test to get certified. dont get me wrong, i know they actually like me too personally, but i would rather have monetary compensation over a fancy title...i guess it will look good on my resume later. i think i'm a pretty good supervisor though because i lead by example and i dont get easily angry and i honestly dont feel im better than anyone else. im not a pushover either, im fair but very firm. i have two young russian guys as my helpers and as i'm driving around they are teaching me russian. they say i'm pretty good with my pronunciation and they are impressed by my retention skills. anyways im still recovering from my sleep deprivation-- sumachechi (russian for crazy).
