2005-07-13 - 1:31 p.m. Let them eat cake � and you�re holding $27,000 dollars worth of parts, so we just want you to be sensitive to that. I look at the parts engineer, vibrating in place. Ok, so I shouldn�t leave it in the hot car, eh? Lord, I shouldn�t bait them. They are so stressed, but the look on his face was priceless. Theo, you are seriously something else. I laugh. Yeah, my mom says that a lot. Cake? Picking up the whiteboard marker, I write PCB approval across the Tupperware box full of chocolate and vanilla pound cake and plop it into the middle of the conference table to make a point we need to move forward on my items they should�ve finished three months ago. The reviewers look longingly at the box, until someone finally says sadly, They�ll be stale first cause this takes so long. I let them eat cake anyway cause I�m a softie. This is, in a sick way, the most fun you have at my job, when the b.s. falls away and you start building and testing. I have to stay out of the lab. They'll make better progress without me hovering, but I rather watch the oscillascopes than run down the paperwork. Ah, the job of a lead - you don't get to play until you make sure your team has everything they need. � � � |
