Came into work today to find the cutting machine down and partially taken apart. All of our digital work has been sent outside, apart from what was left from before the machine went down. Someone said it might've been for maintenance, though Guillermo said that it's the first he's seen anyone do maintenance work on the machine since he started on it last December.
Whatever the case, it's been another incredibly slow day; so slow in fact, I've been able to run the room myself today. I'm not even sure I'll need to stay for overtime tonight, which is a mixed blessing. On the one hand, I would rather not work the extra two hours. On the other hand, I guess I got used to the idea of working the two hours and anticipating the overtime pay. So far, I've managed to avoid being sent to work in the warehouse since Monday night. Let's see if I can make it two for two.
…
Now, I want to get away from work itself and talk a little bit about a coworker of mine.
I've mentioned Christina before, and I believe I've mentioned her uncle who fell ill and ended up in the hospital. On Monday, he passed away in Arizona. This has been a difficult week for her, as both her uncle and a female relative have passed away on the same weekend, and her very best friend has also just suffered a stroke.
I had the opportunity to talk to Christina about what's been going on as she's struggling to make sense of it all. She told me that she had been praying about all that's been happening, as it's been so much for her. She is Catholic, so pray that God would open her heart to His Son and draw near to her in this difficult time. She told me the company is supporting her in the form of donating flowers for her uncle's service, which is admittedly generous. I told her to let me know if she needed anything.
This is really the first time I've shared my faith in Jesus with anyone I've worked with. Pray that if it's The Lord's will, that a seed may be planted in in Christina's heart, from which He may bear fruit in her.
