I am now a de-facto IPT lead of sorts as I will be giving technical direction to two other engineers. The funny thing is that I am making up work out of thin air. I got to the point where I thought it would be cool to get help with my made up work. Turns out this should be good experience for me as I am used to only taking instructions/requirements instead of giving them. Yay for made up work and 2 months of nothing else to do! Hahahahahaaaa! HA!
I had an online chat interview with FedEx the other day. I was asked what I knew about FedEx. I said ‘They like the color purple.’
That was the last question asked … Doesn’t anyone have a sense of humor? Come now.
Part I of globalization played out when the industrial base of the United States moved overseas. Part II is playing out now which is the movement of the intellectual base overseas. What will be left or what will take it’s place when Phase II is done wrecking it’s havoc?
When manufacturing left the US, there were other industries to fill the void. I’m wondering what will fill the void this time around.
It will be interesting to see how this transition continues to play out. It is interesting how quickly this transition is already playing out. It’s a good thing that the U.S. Government is keeping so many of us scientists and engineers employed.
The lack of vision in the local management of my company is stifling. It’s disgusting really.
Since January 1st I have had no active tasking, and they have not directed me to do anything in that time-frame. That fact in itself is showing a lack of leadership. They seem to operate mostly on the ‘hope and pray’ strategy.
Well, I think it’s high time for me to take matters into my own hand. Pandora’s box has just been opened. If you’re looking for something dramatic, don’t hold your breath. It took me three years to get out of San Diego after I had made up my mind to move to Colorado. It might be another three years for something to manifest as I still need to finish my masters degree.
There is no greater honor than to have your words inscribed on the wall of a crapper. I am complete.

My heart made this sound in the early days of January 2004. A part of me died then and I have never been the same person. The next two years would be the darkest of my life.
I have been described that way by some people, and its 100% true. I also have a reputation for getting things done and solving what nobody else in the room can. I could probably ditch that arrogant reputation if I put on a cloak of false humility.
Shoot, It’s been 6 weeks of no official tasking. Lay me off so that I can get on with my life! Damn!
I was making a comment on a message board this morning, and I made a reference to the fact that only Sith deal in absolutes. The guy I was talking to had no idea what I was talking about 
What a shame because this segment highlights the mindset of evil.
