Overachieving the pursuits of nihilism

To say that I have a lot of items on my plate is doing a disservice to the Vegas buffet that my life currently is. At work we are now just days away from being late on our launch schedule. At home my wife is struggeling to find employment during the recession. Back in Michigan sits our house, empty, waing for one lucky person to decide to rent it. Oh, and the couch we had practically forgotten we ordered showed up today.

My particular portion of the facility launch is quickly hitting an end point. Our responsibility is the automation integration between the production line and our ERP system. Our piece has to be done and in the bag long before “steady state” is ever reached. A mini milestone was reached today when one of the key segments was able to complete without needing much handholding. Now all we need to do is repeat this feat of geekish engineering for another two miles of conveyor and we are set.

The house in Michigan needs to find a renter. I am so far displeased with the property manager that is “looking after” the place. Mainly because I received a call from the city to tell me the grass needed to be mowed.

My wife, well she needs a job. I don’t need to go in to the repetitive details of the struggels of finding a job in this economy.

And the couch? Yeah, we ordered it before Valentiens day. It showed up today.
