Wow, it has been more than a year since I last posted. To those depending on me to "keep it fresh," I apologize. I'm sure I have plenty of excuses, but probably no good reasons. Anyway, this week has been, and continues to be, crazy! We interviewed three people yesterday, and we are trying to set up interviews for others. All three that came to the office yesterday are well qualified - they all have Masters degrees (two chemical engineers and one civil engineer) - and I enjoyed meeting with them, but the process sure does eat up a day. I am anxious to see who might join our team. Today we have an ISO audit, an internal "brownbag" training session, and all company conference call from the CEO, and we have another executive in our office all day (partially for the ISO audit). In case you don't know what "ISO" is: International Standards Organization. To be ISO certified means that you have systems, procedures, policies, etc. in place to ensure that everyone in the organization provides "excellent work" with the "highest degree of integrity," that we "continually evolve so that our services and products are increasingly effective," and that we "continually improve" the very system we are working under. However, it is soon to be all a memory because tomorrow I'm taking off...to fish, have lunch with my daughter (her last day of school), and prepare for and have a picnic with my Sunday School class...and then Saturday we are going to Silver Dollar City and White Water in Branson, MO!
