That's cool! Engineer?

I'm watching TV, that's why the long intervals between posts.

 

Something along those lines, not sure of the specifics. He worked at Sperry. I think they made parts for the Shuttle.

It's cool. I'm doing other stuff as well.

 

They're a big engineering firm, makes sense.

 

It had merged with Honeywell by the time I got to see where he worked though. There was plenty of cool memorabilia, but they weren't actively working on anything for the shuttle at the time.

 

And now the shuttle is no more. It will be interesting to see what they come up with next.

It's a shame. I would've loved to have been able to see a launch in person.

It's called the SpaceX Grasshopper. It actually returns to the launch pad.

 

Yeah, I've seen that before. Pretty cool.

 

Hi yay

 

Hi Maj you big stud!

 

God! Youre such a flatterer!


I love it!!

How have you been?

 

So-so. I had a week off, which would have been nice, but unfortunately one of my cats died so I spent most of that week crying and generally just feeling shitty. Being back to work and daily routine helps somewhat.

 

Sorry to hear that. Losing a pet is terrible.

 

Damn! Very sorry to hear that. I have experienced that as well. I am very empathetic. Was it just old age? If you dont mind my asking.

 

Yes, it is. Thank you.

Thank you.
She was 12, not that old for an indoor cat. She was sick, the vet thinks it was a tumor. She couldn't breathe, eat, sleep. We decided we don't want to let her suffer any longer.

 

A decision of love.

Lets talk more about work

You mentioned sitting in on interviews a while back. Did you hire anyone?

 

Yes, we did. We had two favorites in the running and let them come in each for a day to see how they were with the clients. They were both great. It was a tough decision.
