RedJen's Rearview Mirror

After all the insanity, I have to wonder what people are thinking at work. I’m running into some serious déjà vu. In January, my biggest complaint was that no matter how urgent people needed tools built, they never got used. Now, five months later, it is imperative that everyone use the new tools to make sure that they are able to prove compliance with corporate requirements. I swear, I’ve been talking to walls.

I was told today that I should expect a lot of focus on one of the tools I worked on earlier in the year as soon as the audit is over. That makes me wonder if my boss has mentioned to his boss that I may not be around too much longer. If I find a new position, this could be an interesting transition. Now there are two tools that need major attention that I’ll be leaving behind…

I’m in a pretty good place right now. Once I get through three more days, I’m taking some time off for me. I think I’ll sleep a bunch. Maybe I’ll go get a massage, wash my car or finish a refurb on Annie’s computer.

As an aside, I really hate the way Compaq desktops are put together. You have to be a contortionist to get at the motherboard. I’m about ready to introduce her computer to my hammer. (Don’t panic Annie, I won’t kill it, although I may maim it.)
