Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
Dave (Bim) and I exchanged brief PMs yesterday and we discovered that both of us were running presses. I had an entire crew out and it was a big push day. Some of our larger resort customers have to ship complete with all designs in tow due to shipping and customs constraints and several of them were coming to a head all at once. I know all our presses like a race car driver knows his cars. They all have foibles and personalities that only a daily operator or someone like myself can understand... ...Me? I'm just a screenprinter

I'm just a screenprinterTony & Dave, I agree with the satisfaction of hitting a press and getting product out the door. For me, the greatest satisfaction comes in the screen room. I can reclaim, coat and not be bothered while my mind works on 'other'.The reality of this scenerio is that as managers we should never allow ourselves the 'luxury' of production time and spend our time being managers. Sign over my desk says my job is provide my staff with the tools and resources to do their job and then get the hell out of the way! Good advice that I almost always follow!Me, I'm just a T-shirt guy!~Kitson
