The last actual assignment I was given I completed yesterday at 9am. Since then I've done...well, nothing, really. I asked Dave about it (after I asked Jeff for something to do 2 hours previous, who had said Dave would give me something) and he said that it's the end of the fiscal quarter for Bently, so naturally everyone is running overtime to get ( Read more... )

A couple of things have happened recently that have sort of changed my situation up here in Media considerably. Nothing ground-breaking or anything, and certainly nothing that will prevent me from working here, but considerable nonetheless ( Read more... )

Well, save for last weekend, of course. But that feels like it was 2 months ago rather than only a few days. I guess it's been a long week for me ( Read more... )

The day's been progressing smoothly enough so far. I've finished that AUTOCAD project for Trinidad already, but Jim still needs to look it over to fix some small stuff. Otherwise, I haven't really done anything else ( Read more... )

And I'm eating soup out of a plastic container and drinking soda out of a coffee mug because I didn't have enough time or mental brainpower to pack a cup or bowl for lunch. Hell, I ( Read more... )

It's 10:38am, and so far I've done virutally no engineering work at all. I find this amazing. I haven't really done anything, really, except check up on a few websites and write in here. Yes, I actually wrote this entry an hour ago but it was erased when another program froze my computer. So, alas, I must write it again ( Read more... )

So far, I've gotten through a whole bunch of training modules online ( Read more... )
