Week 51  Ravinder Ajmani, Western Digital
- I have a hectic week ahead, and I can really use help from the boys.  I don't know much about their computer skills, but I need to carry out lot of simulation work.  Since the work is mostly routine, I am sure they can pick it up fast.  Then there are ESD measurements to be done. Since we are closed on Monday, they can enjoy long weekend with their families, and show up on Tuesday.

Week 52 Leland Woodall
-  I'm going to have the boys to review the new IATF 16949 standard, and at the end of the week they can give me their take on how we're going to make the transition from TS.  This will be an arduous task, as they usually get to just play while they're here.  This time it's gotta be straight-up work.  I've already apologized to them in advance...

Week 53 Scott Decker, UTAS
-    As I mentioned, I submitted the answer in conjunction with a co-worker
that will be able to use one of the guys, (not sure who will do what just
yet) to help him move from his office here in Phoenix, to Winserlocks CT.
for a bit. For me, I'll have whichever one he doesn't pick, help me out with some things on a PCB update that has a lot of stuff to fix. I may also have him work on getting a couple of other boards ready for review.
Regardless, they are going to be busy this week, I hope they don't mind being separated for a bit.

Week 54 Leland Woodall
-  We recently bought some new 3D AOI equipment, and the guys are assisting me with the disposition of questionable calls made by our associates.  I should have known they were well-versed in IPC-A-610 acceptability criteria.  They hadn't made me aware of this in the past, and then told me
it was because I'd never asked...      Shame on me, right?

Week 55 ????
- assisted with ????


I hope everyone has a awesome week!
