I'm not above a Miata. I'd just have to borrow a skirt to drive one

You wear a lot of hats in a small company. We also make leaf springs for trucks so I get tasked with figuring stuff out. It's fun work to be honest.

Oh, OK, I got the picture -

Not that much of it. Or at least not laid out as it is. It looks like it is out of Tron!

When he walked in behind the counter I laughed out loud. I was like wow you wear a lot of hats eh? He was like yeah there has been a lot of downsizing here. This airport has like a full on terminal inside too not just some little FBO. I thought I was on like a prank show for a minute.

Good story - - my turn -

It was a cold late afternoon one winter day somewhere over Montana when the this small company plane, me and my fellow employee were riding in, ran low on fuel. So the pilot (an old, long retired AF pilot) decided we would land at this just barely paved, landing strip/airport in the middle of nowhere. The dude in a pickup truck came out and filled up the gas tank(s).

By that time it was dark and starting to sleet. The pilot was ah feared the wings were (were going) to ice up so he had the dude come out with another pickup truck and spray deicer on the wings. The pilot turned to me and ask me if I thought that was good enough!

I told him that I had no idea. He said that since I was the Study Director on this project, it was my call (he was yanking my leg). I told him that if it was my call, we would get motel rooms and spend the night. About that time, the pickup truck driver said that there wasn't any motels near by.

Well, the old boy gave the wings another shot of deicer, we piled in, fired that puppy up and took off. We made it back to Tacoma Narrows - a real airport.

THE END

On top of that I am inundated daily by new and updated reports requested by the customers and corporate. These all consist of 80 to 150 questions on what we are planning for start up but no two are in the same format so I just answer over and over and over. Also, I have at least two video conferences a day where they repeat the same thing and tell us what the new and updated reports need to include. I have not done so many PPT presentations since the program came out and I had to convert all the overheat slides over!

And there he is folks, sitting down on the job -
