Back into the world of insanity and short-sighted people.
As expected I had a lot of work to do right from the start. Several bookings need to be corrected though it's not as bad as the last time my supervisor did my work
Originally I had planned to set up a new test room, as we don't have enough room for all the systems we are testing, and the numbers are going up each quarter. Our facility manager said my new room would be ready after my vacation and as it indeed was I talked to my supervisor about all the equipment I need so he can order it immediately. Half an hour later I heard it through the grapevine that my new test room is not available for me anymore. They want to install a new clean room there. Noone of the test department was informed about this. So now I've teamed up with my supervisor and our quality manager to convince these silly guys in charge that we really need this room or we can't do the testing for all the lasers they want to ship this quarter. It's so stupid to even argue about something so obvious but it's only one of the insanities I have to deal with at the moment
.
I'm back at work for four days now and spent only 2-3hours working on actual laser systems.
On a positive note, I've started to train a new person in my product group. Just about time because the pregnant girl that is temporarily helping out will leave at the end of this month.
I'm getting more and more curious about my reviews in december. I've got a lot to talk about.
