Friend no more

yesterday I found out a friend, our teddy bear Hop passed away. He moved away to get clean and start his life over after our Sweet Katie left this world. Yet the addicition was to strong it seemed and he couldn't win..

May the skies be bright, may her arms wrap around you and hopefully she kicked your ass as you entered the gates...

Laughter, memories assult me today, so the weather here is perfect.. misty, cold and just enough of a light from above to remind me that they'll be watching over us..

xo lovies

For those who are needing to be comforted, found and prayed for, message me, I will listen and offer them up!

PS I miss you every day, my heart and soul is with you... never doubt that the miles may separate us, but I am WITH you

Logistics at a Crossroads: 29: Surprise Surgery & Sofa Confinement: My Gallbladder Tried to Kill Me

Image
#GallstoneRecovery Day 7 Update 2: Not cleared for takeoff just yet — my return-to-work green light won’t come until Tuesday, May 27th. As for the Freddy Krueger-level pain, Dr. Thomas suspects it’s likely trapped air still lingering in my body (rude). But the tenderness in my back had him saying, “Let’s play it safe” — so we’re adding another 5-day round of antibiotics to the mix. Fun fact (or not-so-fun, depending on your perspective): I made his Top 10 List for Gallstone Size. 4 cm 3 cm And apparently a few smaller ones just for flair. No wonder I was in so much pain. Turns out, my gallbladder didn’t want to exit stage left either — which is why surgery took longer. Thanks for the drama, internal organs. Oh, and the bruising on my arms? When he asked what happened, I just said one word: TRIDENT. He nodded and said, “Hydration might help.” ...He has jokes. I asked about side-sleeping (because I miss it dearly), and he hit me with the ever-helpful: “If it still hurts, don’t.” Thank...

Hello lovlies, it's been a minute, heck- quite a few from the looks of it. Who knew my life would be what it is now. I am loving Charleston as always, and I still work for the Port. Although in 2025- things may change. So many changes in logistics since Covid happened. I finished my AAS degree in Supply Chain Management. Only took your girl 30 years to do it. Sometimes the things we most, come later in life. It wasn't easy, and I still hate Math. Always will. It's not my cup of tea. Put me in an English class, writing, history... anything other than those math classes. I'll make it work. I am looking at going further, the question is which way? Project Management Human Resources Where do I turn to next. I can't wait for 2025 and to see where this next adventure takes us... Until then. xoxo PS I miss you every day, my heart and soul is with you... never doubt that the miles may separate us, but I am WITH you

Pay Restructures in Logistics

  As businesses navigate economic challenges, pay restructures have become a critical tool for maintaining financial stability while ensuring operational efficiency. The logistics sector, where workforce costs constitute a significant portion of the expenses, must carefully implement these changes to remain sustainable. When several states went into lockdown or experienced statewide closures due to weather conditions, even a few days without vessels and containers moving in and out of the ports resulted in significant financial losses. These closures revealed the immense economic impact of operational disruptions, with just a few days leading to millions in lost revenue. This, in turn, necessitated major restructures in pay scales, including adjustments to holiday pay, COOP leave, annual leave, and sick leave. It also required a reassessment of what counted toward overtime (OT) and what did not. For employees on shift work, these changes could lead to temporary shortfalls in their ...
