Work Area

I mostly don't spend enough time at my desk just when I have to complete my monthly production reports, which I'm currently behind on. I do get flooded with paper work; memos, equipment spec sheets, CAD drawings, quotation forms, and equipment maintenance sheets. It's very hard for me to get organized, I usually have to take some time about every three months to throw out old paper work and just keep the digital copies which was a big mistake.

About three months back I reported a worm in the network to the IT guy, to see if he could locate it and terminate it. The first PC to go was mine. I lost everything. I had Kapersky and was pretty confident I was ok, so hadn't back up my files in a long time. The second PC to go was my CAD artist's PC. We had to spend over $2,000 to send the hard drive to see what we could salvage. The good news is he got most of his files back. I didn't. Then the third victim was my Inventory guy's PC. He also lost everything but had a good back up.

From this point on I said fuck PC's. I bought a 20" Imac. Couldn't be happier. My boss has a  Macbook and contacts me everyday when he is away through Ichat. I have Turbo Cad, E-Drawings, Slingplayer, Windows Office for Mac installed on my Imac. I don't use Entourage, I just prefer Mail. The only thing I haven't figured out is how to make a Table inside the email.

Beside my desk I have an Espresso machine. I'm a big coffee nut. I get great blends of coffee down here in Honduras. I usually mix Espresso beans and Arab beans together to make one awesome blend. I usually come into work about 45 minutes early s I can read the newspapers and drink my espresso. This was I avoid almost all the traffic. I estimate in ten years that it will take me roughly 45 minutes to get to work from inside the city. That is why I'm seriously considering living on the beach, the nly set back is there are no good schools close by.
