I suppose I should blog

I forget about blogger from time to time.

Is it weird to hope that our power goes out again?

I'm installing a transfer switch to allow me to run certain portions of our house off our generator, which I haven't really had opportunity to use yet. But it will feel like such a waste of effort if I never get to use it, which is a possibility since we'll only be renting this house for another year or so.

But at least I got to pull a wall apart in our basement and install a new subpanel. That was fun. Now all I've got left is to connect the feeder to the main panel, which I made the mistake of telling my wife tonight is the only dangerous part.

Anyway, what else is there to write about?

Oh! Some of you will appreciate this. My company has created a new "recognition" system for their employees. Our company mission statement says something about being focused, agile and "boundaryless" ... which is ridiculous enough in itself. They actually give awards for "boundarylessness" Yeah.
Anyway, the first time you're nominated for one of these awards, they give you a company football helmet (another metaphor that I'll explain in another post) And each time after that, they give you a sticker for your helmet, which you are to affix to the helmet much like many football players do to represent each sack or tackle they get.

Isn't that a great idea? I'm so inspired that I'm boundaryless in my focus to become more agile.

Is this football helmet large enough to wear? Because that would be pretty cool. I can see a bunch of executives in suits sitting around a table in serious meeting all wearing their company football helmets. Heh.

Yes, it's a real football helmet. They also gave everyone footballs (intermediate size :( ) They had the managers throw them out at an all-hands meeting... there were footballs flying everyone. Our plant services director was nervously watching the sprinkler heads.
