Laundry is such a pain. It takes FOREVER. I'm still up, and damn am I tired. I figure since I have at least another hour before my clothes are done, I'll write a little here.

K's visit was so extremely great I doubt I could find the words with a dictionary. I got a chance to show her around Merc, and introduced her to all the major players. The response was pretty good too. I'd wanted to intro her to the HR director, but she was out, and didn't come back until far too late. No matter though, I mentioned K to her, and I saw enough of a flicker of interest that I think things might work out in that area.

Clayton bugged me unmercifully of course, because he could. Why is it I can't introduce a lady to my co-workers without them jumping to all sorts of conclusions?

As always, I was quick to correct them when their opinions ventured off into the realm of pure fantasy.

I didn't get much real work done today. Two meetings in the afternoon pretty much killed it dead, and the fact I was having problems standing without swaying back and forth also didn't really help much. I've got a full plate tomorrow, but luckily nothing is too pressing at the moment.

It's funny, they're going to put another guy in charge of the IT section. That's fine, but he's not boss yet, and he's got no staff, and it's still at the point that *I'm* giving him orders.
nn
And he's going to take over running this section? Plus of course, I'm supposed to set up this wonderful work area downstairs to do IT related work, and I'm getting dragged away for development work.

If I get pulled from IT, the fixing stops. It's that simple. It really seems like management is getting the order of operations wrong. It goes like this…

Finish setting up an IT section.
Hire an IT tech to work on new systems
Hire an IT tech to do support work.
Train the hell out of them.
Bring in the IT manager, train him.
Pull Aaron out of the tech department halftime and evaluate.
Train more if required.
Turn the IT department over to the properly trained and armoured IT group, Aaron goes off into R&D world.

I guess it's too much to ask. I have a simple solution. I'm not moving. Not one inch. Not until they do things the right way. After all, if they mess up, I'll likely end up fixing everything, and that's more frustrating than setting it up right the first time.

I'm done bitching. I'm tired, that makes me cranky, and I don't need to write it here. 1 more hour or so, then I can get some sleep 🙂

G'night!
