Oops!

Rough week at PMW... More or less it was one day that made the rest of the week pretty tough. A current job we are on has gone completely perfect up until this point. We have hammered out close to 100 steel tube balconies, columns, and we are now on the last stage of 13 canopies. We were slightly ahead of schedule on the canopies until my fabricator realized he had fab'ed 3 of the first 7 in the shipment completely the wrong depth. 72" instead of 96".....  My first reaction was lots of frustration but as I sat there thinking about what do do I realized getting upset, frustrated, etc. does not get the work accomplished that needs to be done. Nose to the grind stone! All we should do in any situation or jam is make necessary adjustments, communicate well, and get behind the hood and burn some steel. 

As easy as it could have been to completely loose it, I've learned my best options as a foreman or any level of laborer is to put my head down and work. Do what needs to be done, period, and your work will be successful.
