Week 56 Carl Van Wormer, Cipher Engineering LLC
- The boys were waiting for me when I arrived at 5:45, this morning.  They
had picked the lock and the coffee was ready when I walked into the
building!  During the work-days, I'll have them sorting the boxes in the
stock-room, and then have them perform a quick-count on the inventory. When
they are done with that, they'll clean the solder-flux splash from the
objective lenses of the microscope, and maybe get some of the dust cleaned
from the internal lenses.  Evenings, I can have them cook dinners, giving
my wife a rest, and then (after they've finished cleaning up), they can go
down to the basement workshop and build up the next group of ShortSniffer
cables.  They have more energy and much better work ethics than my kids
ever did . . .


Week 57 Leland Woodall, CSTech Inc
- I didn't really expect to see the guys this morning because I wasn't very
sure of my answer.  I had nothing prepared, and I think Carl worked 'em
pretty hard last week. I gave them a hundred bucks each and sent them to
Nags Head.  Their mission is to hit the Avalon Pier and catch some fresh
fish for the table later this week.  They're happily headed down Route 64
on their mowers, and we'll be enjoying some flounder and trout on Thursday
evening if all goes well!
