What would an ocean be without a monster lurking in the dark?
It would be like sleep without dreams.
(Werner Herzog)
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Oh Lavas Laerk had a face like a dirk
And of swordsmen twenty and three.
His greased black ship through the waves did slip
'Twas the sleekest craft at sea.
But it helped him naught when he was caught
Between magic, the Mouser, and me.
And now he feeds fishes the daintiest dishes
But the daintiest dish is he.
(Fafhrd the Barbarian)
My best inspector put in her notice that
she is quitting today. I only had two
inspectors, and a couple folks who can
fill in when needed (at the expense
of doing their day job). I myself am
not a trained inspector though I have
supervised them for the last five years
of my career - it's actually a completely
separate skillset from quality system
which is what I do. The reason? She
found a job with a shorter commute.
Dealing with short-term putting out of
fires is going to consume all of my time
at this job if I allow it - I'm going to
have to keep an eye on that. I spent
half my day at least today on that,
probably more like 90% if I'm really
honest. I need to start coaching my
people (and others) more and giving them
the answer less.
