Thanks to many of you, the latest craze/addiction has begun on my behalf. www.facebook.com. If you're already a member, just look up my name. I've already got 20 "friends". within 2 days. Oh my!
If you're not, you'll have to register yourselves. Don't feel you have to. It's a nice way to share pics though. (Admittedly I only have the one up so far - It's been a roller coaster week)
Have a great weekend everyone.

What Have I Gotten Myself Into?
Well, It's been just over two weeks since returning to my old stomping ground here in the work world. Some things never change. Like projects leaving the crucial pieces (like the stuff I work on) until the project is practically due. We have to make something up for release in next to no time. Talk about using your creative juices.
This project is a little more difficult for me as I'm not doing report design. I'm actually critiquing another team's report design progress. I'll be reviewing their material, training them in new techniques and providing them with the estimates to which they will adhere for payment. (They've been significantly over-estimating their hours up to now).
I feel like a lot of responsibility has been placed upon my shoulders. It feels nice to be needed like this but it's also a little unnerving.
First thing I'm doing is making them learn Crystal Reports by reading my book. HAHAHAHA. It's now a requirement before they begin.

So Much for a Slow Summer
Well, the solos are over and I think I did well at them. I'm a little horse today but it's all good.
Yes, I am now back at the old company working on a 2 month (or so) contract. I've been back for a week. What a strange feeling. Getting lots of people doing double takes when they see me. Very funny expressions for sure.
The work if very daunting considering the time frame. I'm very worried about the project(s). They are extremely aggressive. Of course, I'm taking a week off in the middle of it too. Off to Leiana's wedding in Las Vegas and then camping with family in the eastern Rockies. And then back for Rich's co-worker's wedding the following week. Insane. 10 days and we have to cram all that in. PHEW.
Well, I'm off to drinks with "the guys". I'm joining Rich and his co-workers for dinner and drinks tonight.
