Notes from the field
I know I keep saying I'll update more but this month has been insane on multiple counts.
Work
At my day job, I've been leading a major review of engineering deficiencies agency wide. Out working group has made little progress over the years till now. Something I wrote and presented on was noticed by several very high level people and they agreed. That said, a log-jam of ten years worth of materials, issues and political roadblocks just broke down. I'm rushing to keep ahead of and direct the flow. That being said, my customer just told me I was indispensable and they're moving me (immediately) from a remote office building, miles off-site, to the main building and right down the hall. I also found myself as the only representative from my engineering team remaining after a major internal personnel reorganization. This is all on top of my administrative and test support duties. O_O
Store
We're keeping our heads above water, but only barely. Tammy is away at tech training so she'll be certified to work on the Bernina sewing machines we sell. Amy's been running the store while Tammy's in Chicago. This is a repeat of sorts. Two weeks ago, Tammy was at a company sponsored trade and education forum in Washington DC. We've paid for both of these trips out of pocket versus using store funds. The benefit is we get discounts and benefits for attending the conference and the tech training for the store. Right now, we need investors or working capitol though.
Photos
Networking and commercial shooting are paying off finally. I wish I could afford the time to post here more. For those who haven't seen, the Nature Photo of the Day Feature, has returned over at my Facebook page. I discontinued it here last year because of burn out and frustration over the image hosting at Photofuckit. As I get more confidence in LiveJournal's new photo hosting, I may start bringing it back here too. If you haven't friended or watch me on Facebook, I'm here: http://www.facebook.com/jj.maccrimmon
Off to work
