Well, the D.C. called me in and said he didn't care about any of it either, but since we have to keep our identities under wraps or scare the humans, he needed me to stay calm and help keep things in line.

On the project level there's apparently some political pressure to finish and, since I seem to be one of the few who actually gets things done I'm not in real jeopardy, but I should work to make my meetings a little less ... exciting.

Good Deal ... Thanks.

You could try belly dancers.

LOL!

The new manager here said, upon his hiring, “Hit me with your worst! I can handle it!” He has been working his backside off, sorting, organizing, and shredding and I can SEE a difference in the office.

I don’t know if the maintenance personnel will reflect the change, as they are mostly the charges of “The Head Office.”

What has been the hampering factor is the change from separate entities loosely based under HUD, to a combined force under one umbrella of rules and by-laws. A difficult concept for these small housing authorities.

Still, I can appreciate what he is doing and I can also appreciate how you felt and feel.

Never lose your sense of humor! Bring it to your meetings, and tweak the proceedings with something unexpected! ;o]

They quit inviting me to meetings when I improved the process enough to start reporting yields over 100% of standard.

Standard yield for wafer fab was defined as 80% of the wafers started made it to the end of the line.

Standard yield for electrical test was defined as 80% of the die on those wafers met electrical test requirements.

Standard yield for pressure test was defined as 80% of the electrically good die met sensitivity requirements.

0.8 x 0.8 x 0.8 ≈ 50% actual yield. They were happy with 80% of that when I started.

They were NOT happy with me explaining that to upper management...
