And finally I drank 66 oz of microbrew at damons

Yesterday sucked. I had to deal with an idiot that outranks me. He's presenting something at 7:45 this morning. A 30 minute conference call was scheduled to review what he was going to say with everyone working on the issue. This is when we realized that he didn't understand ANYTHING we'd been saying for the past two weeks. It took 2 hours, and there was a follow up for 2:00. That one took 2 and half hours and we gave up. Than he paged me, 911, to talk for another half hour. Than he emailed out his presentation. It looked like the first one, except worse because he had "Take out" "Delete" and "Not relevant" writing on some of the slides. That's okay, he's got 19 slides for a 5 minute presentation. He's hoping that if it looks like he's got a lot of work no one will ask any hard questions.

Now I have to go watch him report out (from a remote site) and pray that he does go down inflames and drag me with him.

Also yesterday I had 3 engineers from one of our suppliers in to fix a bad design. One of them is a project manager type, and pretty much useless. One is really smart and I like working with him and one guy I don't know. I SHOULD have been working with them. After all, I'm the one that made them drop everything and drive over here from Detroit to fix their stuff. So after the conference call i went to the supplier and we got a bunch of stuff done and now at least I know they've got a plan that might work. Than I went to damons with a friend of mine that works at their plant. That's where the beer comes in. Best part of my day.
