The only blog I've ever posted in was on a website named "Topix." It can get a little addicting going back to see what other people have commented after you. I only got interested in the site because as rumors were flying about shutting down the Chrysler plant (where I was working), I was watching that site for updates before hearing the news from the media (although you have to watch what you read on blogs, too, because anyone can post anything...whether it be the truth or not!). Then, once we did shut down, it was nice to read the posts and find out information about transfers, buyout offers, union meetings, etc. BUT....The one thing I didn't like about it was that, since everyone is anonymous, people can be pretty rude and ignorant. Many people that have never worked there or have done the hard labor of working on an assembly line thought it necessary to express their thoughts about Chrysler workers being overpaid and uneducated. When in fact, they had no clue how hard the work really was. Truth is, if they had to do the job, they probably wouldn't last a day. We seldom worked 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. The company was allowed to schedule 10 hour days, 6 days a week. That's a LOT of standing, walking, using air tools, installing parts, and fixing repairs on a vehicle that advanced the line every 47 seconds. So, we'll see how this blog goes.
I am definately looking forward to posting my "takes" of photographs I have taken in this blog...... hence the blog name. I looooove taking photos, and once in a while I get one that I really like and would like to share it.... so, let's see how it goes
