Musings at the Moment

Well....winter has arrived here.  I don't mind it too much.  The roads are slower, but it's nice to have some "real" winter temperatures below 20 degrees and not that dreary 33 degrees and drizzling/sleeting stuff.  Snow should creak and crunch (not slush) when you walk and drive on it.

Some nice unknown person shoveled my driveway for me today while I was at work.  The snow was only a couple inches deep, but still.....I appreciated it.  If only I knew who to thank.

This week marks 10 years at my job.  I suppose that's a milestone.  My boss took me and four of the other HW engineers out to lunch.  Plus I got a card with some handwritten notes inside from my boss, his boss, and my boss's boss's boss.  And, my boss's boss's boss left me a phone message thanking me for my service.  I had sort of forgotten that Monday was the anniversary day, so I was pleasantly surprised to get all that in one day.  I may not have noticed if they didn't acknowledge it, but it's the little things like remembering those things that make you feel special.  That's what makes a good boss and helps keep people happy.

One of my projects at work is very frustrating at the moment because we're making snail's pace progress.  So a free lunch was a nice bright spot for the week.

That's all for today people.  I need to close up shop so I can go to bed and be on time for a 7:45 AM conference call tomorrow.  Later peeps.
