Other Stuff as I Promised

Well the first thought is I have very little life to write about outside of work, my sons and LaRhinda. In addition to that LaRhinda isn't a sexual relationship just a friendship with some wild adventuresome circumstances. Crazy man crazy.

Good news is Primo, #1 son, is still in the dorms. Has no money, his loving father just sent him nine pickles (OK dudes and dudettes where did that come from lol) Need to send him some Gonzo Hunter books in a care package. I hated and loved care packages from my mom in college. There was always cool stuff and them some really wack shit.

Segondo, #2 son, and I are working on the little Suzuki Sidekick for his wheels. Need to get the registration current and sign it over to him. He is caught in the classic need a car for a job -vs- need a a job for car. catch 22. He is trying to earn money for a school trip to Costa Rica. I wish I could speak another language...I'm so American my English even sucks.

What else. I saw Sideways the movie. It was great!!!! A classic buddy/adventure movie. Sandra Ho was great. Part where Paul GIamatti tell about his love of the Pinot Noir grape and the lady talks about her passion for wine is awesome. Chronicles and LaRhinda update to follow.

Later folks

OK I need a life this is the last chronicle entry for a while. Same with the LaRhinda action I have other shit going on to blog about. (I think?) G-Daddy drops the hammer on a lowly draftsman.

It is a production department task to fix things like this. This is an engineering firm and the role of administration, production, accounting, and marketing are all functions to support the business of engineering design. The number #1 task of production is to assist engineering with the task of drawing. You should and need to let the engineers know of a problem but you should also correct the errors whenever you see them. The role of good draftsman is equivalent of a nurse to a surgeon, or a paralegal to a lawyer. Engineers want a GOOD draftsman to fix and complete their drawings. Example, H for the Structural and Civil department, they don’t let anyone else touch their work because they all love H's work. We don’t want draftsmen that don’t comprehend or look at what they draw. We don’t need people in the production department that don’t show any initiative to fix errors. If you see something that doesn’t look correct but are not sure notify the engineer. If you are sure it is incorrect, fix the error and let the engineer know what you did. Simply stated, don’t tell engineers to fix drawings, it is YOUR job to fix the drawings and make sure the graphic presentation is correct, clear, and concise.

That is it! I don't want to manage ppl. I'll manage a project. I'll deal with clients, but dealing with the dysfunctional folks at my office is bogus. I know, I have am apiece of the problem myself but still I hate it (today anyway). There is a level of dysfunctionality in almost every department except Civil and Strut. We should use the reorganization to get rid of all of the deadwood. We need to purge the incompetent and complacent folks and just keep the willing workers. I doubt there would be any big losses in the office productivity, in fact their might be a gain. Historically it takes us a real long time to fire someone.

Holy cow! Mom will be 70yo on the 16th. Talk about sobering. Boy m getting up there also. G-Daddy wears bi-focals nanny nanny boo boo. It is fucking cold out. Y do I live in Anchorage? Seriously it is -10 and the wind is coming off of the inlet. BUTT Cold. The Jeep has no headbolt heater (ya stupid) so I start it at midnight before I go to bed. (thank god for large V-8s) the Suzuki has not started in literally months. I have a cold no more need to be said bout that. The eldest (Primo) is in college so Im home alone. Segundo lives with the ex. That is crazy.

Talk about finished responsibilities man I've gone crazy. It is like being 18 again and not living at home. Pretty scary it was having kids that cleaned me up and I stopped all of that action. Meth now days is bogus, I don’t know if it is the whole pipe thing or what. Give me old fashion black beauties, back in the day, as my choice of speed. White crosses always cramped my tongue and my fingers twitched. I also think the high from good powder is equal to rock. The coke result is the same though the new man wants more coke (either rock or crack) just more. I'm just to cheap nowdays. Jesus we had good dealers when I was a kid. It is fun to play again though, explains the LaRhinda thing a bit?

Ya, the job still sucks. Sigh here is the deal. "to old to rock and roll yet to young to die
