I'll think I'll shut my office door and mind my own damn business,



I used to do this whenever I needed some quiet to concentrate and get a certain task done. However, without fail, some dipwad would knock on my door within seconds. Drove me nuts.>:( I even had an Administrative Assistant who was supposed to stop these interruptions. I'd swear they would wait for her to go to the bathroom just to knock on my door.>:(>:(

The fears.

One of our team leads has been working on a project.
The company paid huge bucks to implement it last year and failed twice. Both previous team leads were removed from their positions.

Now, we are very close to the end. 800 modules.
The last test was finished this week.

People are so afraid of making mistakes that they can't think straight.

Wednesday, I spent all day in one-on-one meetings with people while they went over every tiny aspect of their tasks. They are so terrified that they will lose their jobs.

The team lead sent out an email on Monday because of a minor error that stated that he needed a resolution by end of day "or else".

Peoples jobs impact their lives, the kids lives, and many others. I think he is a dick to threaten people that way.

One day we were told to rearrange the hangar to make room for a wrecked airplane that was being hauled in on a truck. We don't see truly wrecked planes very often, so they're kind of a morbidly fascinating attraction; everybody has to have a close look and offer opinions about what happened.

When the truck showed up, I opened the hangar door, then felt nauseous when I recognized the twisted remains of a Cessna 152 that I had inspected and pronounced airworthy a few months earlier.

Eventually I learned that both occupants walked away from the crash, and the pilot admitted to trying to stretch the fuel too far. He ran the tanks dry, attempted to land in a very tight spot, one wingtip caught the ground, and the plane spun into a tree. Lucky he wasn't killed.


The moment when my worst fear seemed realized, when I thought I had made a mistake that killed someone, that was the worst part of my job. May it never be repeated.
