More changes

Just got called back to my old job. Been laid off there for 10 months! What have I learned in those months? Companies have to make money to stay in business. Seems like a given, but not all companies make money. This money crunch has hit small companies hard. Many used credit to pay for tooling, personnel, and running expenses while doing a job before they get paid for it. I always assumed they used the money they had made before to do this. Not so. When their credit is dried up they have to run on cash. When that is gone they get desperate. They will take any job. Under bidding and over promising is the rule. The bigger companies out there (some of them) will take advantage of the "opportunity" to lower their costs. In the meantime, workers are either laid off, or working overtime to get the over promised jobs done on time.
Today I learned to do what they ask (tell) you to do, no matter how wrong you think their idea is. Actually I felt really good after realizing that. Before I was grumbling about not being able to run the job the way I wanted to (the better way of course), then it didn't matter. I can't tell you how much better I felt just doing it their way and not worrying about the results. It's their company. Now I see the same thing happens with God. We want to do things our way. It is the better way, we know it. But if God leads you some where and shuts the doors behind you, follow in the direction you're being led and don't try to change the plan. Going along with God is always a good idea, even if it doesn't appear to be at the start.
