Work Ramblings - Feel Free To Ignore and Move On

I've been a very productive little bee today. Lots of crap at work that absolutely positively had to be done today, dinner out by the office with friends, lots of shopping near work where the sales tax is almost 2% less, and a good hour on the 'puter at home setting up electronic bill payment through my bank's website.

A little note on work - it feels like the shit is hitting the fan, all in this last week. Granted my boss just got back from 3-weeks vacation, I'm gone for two weeks after Friday, and I leave to build a new prototype one day after I get back from vacation.

My job - to make sure we have all 170+ parts from 40+ companies to build with. If we're missing a part, guess who's ass hits the burner... :-)

The Good News - Between my calls to suppliers and the plant, we've got most everything. What we don't have now I can get, so I'm not worried.

The Bad News - My boss is pissing bullets worried that we won't have everything. I keep telling him not to worry, but that's what managers do best, right?

The Best News - Only two more days until I'm free (yet still attached by email and pager... crap)...


Sorry about the rambling. I'll try to make the next posting a little more interesting and less work-related.
