Note to self: Short journal entries get more comments than long journal entries 🙂

Back at work today and in the lab working. Finally getting this urethane taken care of – it’s not complicated, just time-consuming.
I took a break in the middle of the reaction to go to the dentist and get scolded by the hygienist for not flossing regularly. This is what happens when you move away from your parents: you pay people to give you guilt trips.

Just got word from our plant that the raw materials we need for a batch to be delivered to the customer by February 4 won’t be delivered until February 5. Hmm…this makes the logistics a bit difficult. I’ve spread word around that we’ll have about a two-week delay and no one is too upset. In the meantime it looks like I’ll be going to work on a thermally conductive adhesive for connecting heat sinks to chips on circuit boards. This will be interesting because it’s new technology to me – we’ll see how much fun it really is once I get started.

I got to play with the bread machine a bit more yesterday. That thing is fabulous! I wanted to make a multigrain bread, but didn’t have the “seven-grain cereal” called for in the recipe. I improvised with pulverized Wheat Chex and uncooked oatmeal – it came out just great. I need to work at it a bit more to see if we can come up with the perfect sandwich bread, though.
