Also, it seems I've been ghosted by the company I sat with last week. The director of IT seemed impressed and said I would hear either way from him or recruiter lady by what I thought he said was last Friday. I sent recruiter lady a WTF email on Wednesday and so far I got nothing.
I’m still waiting on that woman to come back with some cash from her husband who was just down the hall. It’s only been a few weeks. I’m sure she’ll be along shortly.

You know who's getting shoulder surgery? This guy.

Torn labrum. Plan is to disconnect and remount bicep slightly lower then repair labrum. 8-10 weeks full time down unless the tear is larger then Dr. can see in the MRI and it will be a 4 month recovery. I think I'm going to keep skiing through until Q2 to take advantage of the winter snow then have surgery so I can catch summer/fall biking.

I just had the most productive meeting evar here. Key is to meet with the folks who have been here less than a year because they aren't jaded. We put an action plan together and they actually have some say in shit.

Any chance you could do physical therapy first ? I avoid orthopedic surgeons and their scalpels. Most people who I know who have had shoulder surgery all say it takes closer to a year to fully recover. I've fixed a few shoulder injuries by going to PT and religiously doing the stretches.

Now if only this damn GPO would apply, all would be set...

Standby ftw, just dodged a 3 hour layover and walked straight from one flight to the next.

The dude I have been trying to pry info out of since I got here just celebrated 20 years here. When we were still drilling with mechanical drills, not the 5 micron laser setups we have now.

Greetings from the Mendocino coast. We had lunch at North Coast Brewery. Ruth had a Brother Thelonious on tap. We split a sausage sandwich and fish and chips with garlic waffle fries. Then we walked a couple of hours on the headlands bluffs to burn it off
