Work

Work has been interesting lately. Here's hoping that myself and our new department manager can turn our department around into a fun place to work again. We've made ever so small of a dent, but our new manager has the ear of the owner of the company. There are big plans. We'll see what happens.

I mention this because I read an article today that's probably more applicable to other jobs than the author wants to admit. It's an interesting read, though I think money and time are downplayed for the older, family oriented kinds of people.

Check it out.

On an unrelated note, we have an electrician coming in today to fix our basement wiring. Seems the sheetrock guys put a nail or screw through a wire somewhere. Of course they're not paying for it, but they may actually come in and patch up the hole for us.

Losers.

More later.

Bah... sometimes "blue collar" guys can be annoying. "It wasn't us... we're not taking responsibility..." Just own up to the fact that you screwed up and fix it.

On the other note. I propose daily Starcraft 2 Tournaments to increase fun. Bring your work back to it's roots. :)

Turns out it was a simple matter (still the sheet-rockers fault) that took no destruction and only $50 worth of an electrician's time to fix. YAYYYY!

Reading this article puts into words many of the things that initially baffled me about you. I've understood for a few years now, but it's cool to see that you are just a geek, not a freak.
