As all of you know, there’s been a big change in my life and I’m no longer the travelling road warrior. So, I felt that Redeyes and Rearview Mirrors was no longer an appropriate tagline for my blog. Over the years I’ve gotten a little older, a little wiser… I’ve had my good [...]

The week from hell
I never thought I’d hate going to the office this much.
I’ve been working 12 hour days just to catch up from my last trip… I’ve got more projects going on than I have space for and life has ceased to exist for me… I’m drowning in paperwork and equipment. I’m not getting any sleep [...]
The Final Revenge
Leave it to current employer to screw up my last official business trip before I start my new job. Obviously the travel arrangers either hate me, or are pissed I’m not working on the road much anymore.
For my last trip, I’m headed to Mount Rushmore Rapid City, South Dakota… in order to [...]
Good News! Good News!
After eight nine months of promises and debate, my employer has finally caved in and is promoting me to a position that takes me off the road. In my new position, I’ll be a “troubleshooter”, fixing departmental problems in addition to developing a training program for the entire company: field trainers, installation technicians, help [...]

This is a company who cries “We’re poor!” anytime the [...]
Another Sign at Work
This sign has been posted on the mens room stall door at the office for about as long as I can remember now.
Now, the question is, who is the idiot person who saw fit to post this sign on the bathroom stall door? Furthermore, who is so disgusting as to not make sure their [...]
If incompetence could fly…
my office would be an airport.
I’m a pretty smart guy. I’ve been using various computer systems for 19 years now and I’ve taught myself everything I know. But there are a few proprietary systems that my employer uses that I haven’t figured out on my own…. mostly because I haven’t been exposed to [...]
How’d I Wind Up with the damn Van?
You might remember I said yesterday that I’d be driving the department’s Ford Expedition this week. Well, I got screwed out of that deal this morning. One of our guys from our Mississippi office decided he couldn’t make it to his job site this week, so we’re sending two guys from our office [...]
