It's early oh -so - didn't want to get up this morning, but I did. Thankfully it's Friday so traffic wasn't too bad, I got into work without too much trouble. Got some things to get done before I am trapped in a warm room watching numbers and stuff scroll by then searching through those reams and reams of data for that one nugget of information that proves the software did what it was supposed to do... oh yeah it's an exciting life I lead isn't it?
Yesterday was a busy stressful day; however I do believe that we are successful testing up here in VA which will prevent traveling back to Alabama... it's a grand thing isn't it? Hold your breath that we will repeat this level of success... of course I'm not sure if my tester buddy is in yet... I will have to kill him if he's not... OH so glad I stayed later last night and printed off clean test copies. OH my yes - that way I don't have to wait for him to get his stuff together.
Bubba and I had a very funny conversation last night as I was putting dinner together -- don't get excited I got a chicken from the grocery store and tossed a veggie at him... Any who... we laughed that we could both quit these stressful jobs and go to work for the local Grocery store... I mean union wages, our house is paid off, the cars (knock wood) are ours we don't have kids to put through college, retirement would be significantly impacted but hey! We'll be very very happy!! Or least a whole lot less stressed!
I did mention that I figured Bob would last about a week in that job - after all he'd have to deal with the public, and folks who don't think in terms of two plus two really equals four.
I figured I'd last a good two weeks... maybe three... after all we generally don't get snow in May. Generally.
Of course all the pampered prince and princess stuff we enjoy regularly would come to a screeching halt so that small fantasy faded like Shelby's dinner. (she eats really quick for those who don't know)
Ok time now 8:36 - tester is NOT in the office we were supposed to have started 6 minutes ago.... it would be wrong to sit in front of his office with the procedures and staring at my watch -- wouldn't it... I've rolled my unhappy fanny out of bed at 5:30 (ish) this morning to make sure I was here on time -- he lives closer. If you can't make the agreed upon time skippy - let me know...
And of course as I type this in he walks... back to the lab. Continue chanting... no more travel... no more travel....
No more travel, no more travel... :-)
