It was a pretty good night at work.  My bread-n-butter parts were still there from yesterday.  So, that tells me the 1st shift Super has his crew go absolutely top to bottom on their hot list w/o variance.  I know my 1st shift colleague knows these parts have 460min connected to them and he just cannot run them unless they happen to fall on their hot list.  Good for me, though.  I finished the last order on the hot list and went right onto my bread-n-butter parts.  I turned-in just over 11hrs on this 8hrs shift.  Hela, I even gave away 2hrs because layout literally had NOTHING.

Went into work with only 3 or 4 orders in the entire shop; nothing for me.  I worked a couple of online lessons, then helped the new debur guy with his courses and how to deal with his email, as he has missed out on three in-line promotion offers because he hasn’t been checking his email.  The Super wasn’t too happy with me helping him, but I told him, “Oh c’mon, he’s not the sharpest tool in the shed”.  The Super knows he’s a bit slow.  He also realized there was very little work in the shop, then backed-off a bit.  I eventually found a few things to see me through the shift.

Donar, Son of Wodan and Erda, husband to Sibba with the Golden Hair, wielder of Malant and Great God of thunder, thunder forth in our lives. When we would hold back, encourage us to advance. When we would be weak, hearten us be strong. When we would shun life’s pleasures, inspire our appetites for that which is lusty and good. Excite our growth from strength to strength; teach us, elder brother, how to throw our own Hammer, and slay the giants who oppose our will.

Elder Rune: Ansuz: In favor of the gods, Wodan specifically, the Divine Father, Wodanic wisdom, the Athem - Divine/vital breath, the force of creation, taking inventory of one’s Tru Spirit and spiritual balance, a higher source of inspiration, communication skills and divine ancestry, higher consciousness, mental stability, self-discipline, the loving/bright/compassionate Alle-Vater, spiritual balance.
Conversely:
Outside the favor of Alle-Vater Wodan vital/divine breath and the ancestral/Wodanic wisdom, separation from one’s true Spirit, spiritual imbalance, spiritual shunning, neurotic compulsive liar, exercise caution with communication and dealings including intelligence; a lack of inspiration, tough-love Fathering, the absent All-Father, the shadow/dark/mysterious side of Alle-Vater Wodan.

As this season for the Bundesliga begins to wind down, we know the outcome of first place, but now the focus shifts to relegation; “the transfer of a sports team or player to a lower division of a league.”  In the Bundesliga, the bottom two teams on the table are in danger of relegation to 2 Bundesliga, which simply means less money payed to its players. Here is the current table for the Bundesliga:
https://www.bundesliga.com/en/stats/table/
Hamburger and Köln are in danger of relegation.
At the same time, the top two teams in 2 Bundesliga will be promoted to 1 Bundesliga.  Here is their table:

So, Düsseldorf and Nürnberg are up for promotion to 1 Bundesliga and more money.

God/dess Meditation: Paltar, you're the blameless god, gloriously shining god, rising god, restoration god, husband to the faithful Nanda, beloved son of Wodan and Frija.  Just as you restore Mittigart after Godotuom, restore us after we experience our own Godotuoms of life.  Let your goodness and your reconciliation smooth our paths on Earth. When our days here are over, light up death’s darkness with the promise of rebirth. Help us to avoid evil and seek the good. Inspired by your example, we will keep our reputations spotless that our lives be proclaimed a victory of the Spirit, and our leaving his life a tragedy. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, PALTAR, as we honor the Paltar that resides in us all!
