Just a quick comment before I finally get to my homework. The university pulled a fast one, because the instructor bowed out after three days. Then a new instructor was assigned and made his appearance known for all practical purposes on the fourth day of class. He still expects a full week of participation, even though we were instructed to DO NOTHING until the new instructor was in place and gave us new guidelines for the class. As a result, it seems impossible to even get the full attendance this week, but that is life. I think that wasn't particularly fair or reasonable, since the university decided to continue this week, rather than restarting the next week on the proper starting day (Tuesday). In any case, it is what it is, and I have homework to do so that I dont get behind on my work.

Now, if only my techs will respect the boundaries of normal working hours, so that I can focus on my homework assignments, everything will be copacetic. Otherwise, I will have to set them straight and ask the guys to respect my commitments outside of work. I do not expect them to work 24 hours a day, and I dont understand why they would think that they can call on me anytime, day or night. Operations and the dispatch office in Vegas CAN call me 24-7, but the techs need to understand that there are reasonable hours, and there are things that CAN wait until the next business day.

Time to get to work. Over and out.
