Tony the Tiger

I'm really liking my job now that I've been doing it for a few months. It's certainly different than my old job. My last job was concerned with well-defined situations. This job is more about taking everything in from everywhere and trying to make sense of it all. It's quite a bit higher paced.

The latest news is that I've been recruited for a "Tiger Team". A Tiger Team is a team of people that is given quite a bit of leeway to get the job done by whatever means necessary. Kind of like Jack Bauer on 24, except we don't shoot people.... usually.

The team was formed to expedite some parts we're having made for an engine test this next January. I was working on the parts before, so my job hasn't really changed, except that I now have a guy directing things that really knows his stuff. We've nicknamed this guy Tony the Tiger because he pretty much is the Tiger Team all by himself. The rest of us just try to keep up.

Anyway, it's a great experience and I'm learning a lot. These next few months are going to be very, very hectic. Lot's of overtime. Of course, I still won't be working nearly as much as Jen, so I shouldn't complain. I still will, but I shouldn't.
