5 October, 08

The 5th was a kinda crazy day. We had a bunch of little things happen and not happen that were just out of the ordinary.

A big morning meeting did not happen as the main person we were to meet with decided to be elsewhere. Most of the other people showed up except him. This got the rumor mill going and the soap opera started as to the why's, where's and when's of things. Come to find out it was probably no big deal and there was simply a mis-communication.

Then there was the silliness of communicating within the shop. Seems Fawwaz and us have different cultural backgrounds (way to go Captain-Obvious, right?) and that causes a mis-communication now and again... the 5th was one of those days. We eventually got it all straightened out.

About that time an IP comes in and has lost some important documentation and was told we could help him, another mis-communication. He needed to go back to the source of the original documents before we could help him, so we got him turned back around... a process that would have taken about 2 minutes had it not been for language barriers leading to a mis-understanding or two.

Rumors started back up about our little team getting moved and not moved and moved and not moved. I just go where I'm told, you know?

Then there was me being nick-the-new-guy and needing a refresher on a process that our team across town helped us with...

It was just an awkward day all around.

On a high note, my Cincinnati Bengals lost again... I think they are going for a perfect 0-16 season.

Common Joann, who HAVEN'T the Bengals lost to? They are 0-5! Here we go again! I am just hoping for a good draft pick at this point.

See you soon!
