That will do nicely.

In more interesting news, a heavy-set woman just rode past my building (on the street) on one of those adult-sized tricycles, from the Fiberglass joint down the road, and straight out into Kolb Road where she got mashed by a pick up truck.

Seriously.

Now, what the fuck was going through HER head?

I was sort of thinking the same thing.  The road we're on continues past Kolb Road and into the desert, maybe 10 miles, for no apparent reason.

She was making a break for it.  On a tricycle.  Escape velocity or bust.

Still going on, sort of.  The paramedics are all smoking cigarettes and wearing that face they have, so I guess she got away.

It's now raining a bit.

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - A Tucson woman was treated at a hospital for lacerations after being attacked by some javelinas.

Authorities say the 64-year-old woman left her home at about 5:30 a.m. Wednesday to walk her small, leashed dog when she saw a javelina eating out of a tipped-over garbage can.

The woman fell when she tried to get away and she says as many as three javelinas then charged her.

Authorities say she suffered some cuts from the fall and unspecified lacerations from the boar-like animals, but managed to get back into her home.

The Arizona Daily Star says the unidentified woman was treated and released from a Tucson hospital.

I just want to know how it is that we don't run out of people.

Three of these charged her?

7 sacked today. 1 redundancy, 3 for various gross misconduct and 3 for stupidity. Today has been a very angry day.

And yet, the stooges walked away clean. I'm wavering between admiration and disgust.

The longer I work at my job, the more certain I am that I must be incompetent. They seem to weed out all the good ones.

Mike is now telling the boss that the failure of the ball mill is my fault, on account of I didn't stop him from doing stupid shit, because I was ordered to not interfere.

My boss didn't buy it, and yelled a lot.  Then he walked down the hallway yelling some more.  His office door slammed shut.  More yelling, the sound of a laptop hitting the wall.

Door opens back up, yelling at Mike to get into his office.  Mike goes in, door slams.  More yelling.  Mike trying to shout his explanations over the yelling.  Boss turns into Dennis Leary throwing a wobbler.  Mike leaves office, gets into truck, drives away.  Boss drags me into the office, yells a lot about Mike, then tells me Mike has been suspended for a few days.

When Jim stops for breath, I ask him if we'll be doing my plan now.  No.  Mike is project manager.  I look at Jim funny, he starts yelling again, stomps across his ruined laptop, and out to his car, drives away.

Well, then.

I work in an insane asylum.  Help me.

The company's organizational matrix must be preserved! If you start doing things right just because they work better that way, what'll that say about the whole department whose job is to decide who gets to do what? You have to consider these things.
