I am currently crossing the Southwest on the Harley via 2 lanes – US 380 about 1/2 hr from TX tonight. Papers have been full of big state cuts, higher & regular ed taking a real beating. It is going to suck to be other than wealthy.
I’m even more convinced I do belong in OR, you couldn’t pay me enough to live here. Was in Las Vegas for a week, diagonal across AZ and now almost across NM. It is kinda pretty, not snowing, and I’ve met some friendly people – though it isn’t obvious that I’m a lefty…

When I entered building I am cleaning tonight (and I am usually working when I comment on the night-shift) there was a high pitched whine that seemed to come from every direction. I finally tracked its source to the heating plant. When I opened the door the whine doubled in decibels and I was hit with a blast of hot air. Red lights on panels were lit up and the needle on one of the gauges was nearly red-lining and shaking wildly. So, I went next door and tracked down the 2nd shift engineer. He came in and pressed a button and made everything stop. He looked around and fiddled with a few things. I couldn’t wait to hear how I had saved the building from imminent destruction.
But it was just a water pump with a bad gasket. No silver star for me.

I don’t really understand why a company thinks that it’s a good idea to pay the people assigned to test all of their business processes and make sure they won’t blow up and take down critical systems less than $12 an hour with no benefits and a temporary position, and they’ll think about hiring you permanently. Sure, in this job environment you can do it, but don’t you want to pay the people that kind of work, who you insist have an accounting background, more than the bare minimum you can get away with? It’s not really a position where I’d think you’d want to establish a relationship defined by each party provides as little as they possibly can to the other.
Of course, I interviewed for the job. The depressing part is that they are interviewing 12 other people for the same crappy position, and I’ll be lucky to get it. As I said, they can get away with hiring someone for that in the current environment, but it sure doesn’t seem like a good way to build loyalty and enthusiasm.
