Friday I was on the road all day; in the morning I took the Jeep in for it's first oil change (a bit late at 6,700 miles - supposed to be at 6k). I got home and did howswork for an hour before heading down to Hudson Massachussettes to discuss doing some contract work for a company. The drive was 15 minutes shy of being a 2 hour drive, I spent a bit over an hour discussing things with them, then spent almost 2 hours getting home.
I have gotten the preliminary part of the job, which entails analyzing their current quality system and reporting their deficiencies. I worked on that some yesterday and hope to finish it up today.
This is pretty funny; the last week of April I will have 4 jobs (assuming they want me to continue to phase 2 of the contract job); I will be training for census work, I will also put in 1 day at my regular job and use vacation pay for the other 3 days, I will be putting in a few hours for contract work, and I picked up a pet-sitting customer for the 24th thru the 29th (visiting 2x per day).
All I have to do is keep myself straight on knowing what I am doing when.
I wish you had introduced yourself at the show; I always like meeting new blog folks, especially "home brewed" ones.
After reading your posts, I'm even more interested as I'm a semi-retired QA guy myself. Last job brought an ISO stamping plant into TS16949. Looong project, but we pulled it off!
Regards,
DT

Thanks for visiting DoubleTrouble. There were so many people at the show, and many seemed to have questions, so I didn't want to take up valuable time. We'll meet at some point, that just wasn't the right place/time.

Bogie--Do you find it as entertaining as I do that I can comment on your blog, but not on my own? Are you on the Beta version? I am, but don't know that it is the issue.

That is pretty funny. I believe I am on the Beta version too, so that probably isn't the issue. Of course, I am using my old XP computer so if you are using another Windows version, so we may not be comparing apples to apples.
