Just Another Manic Sunday

This is Steven Petrick Posting.

First, a bit of a clarification. While a very hot wire did slash across the back of my hand and leave a nice line of seared flesh, this did not result in its remaining in contact long enough to burn down through the mere flesh, boiling off fluids, until it reached the bone. It did hurt, but my reflexes are not yet quite so slow that I was not immediately aware of the sensations of pain and automatically jerking back away from the source. That is one of the reason Nature created pain, to minimize the damage.

Today is Sunday, and as is not unusual, SVC and I are here laboring away to try to get the next product done. We have made some progress today, never as much as we would like, but to some extent more than we expected to get done. Yes, it is just another Manic Sunday (our Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays tend to be manic as well). At least on Sunday (most of them any way) we get to work in the office relatively quietly. I am not being dragged from the computer console to trim books, check orders, study miniature masters for missing phaser bumps or the like, or repairing the shrink wrap machine, or . . . Today, I get to try to do my own part of the job with relatively few interruptions (there are always some).

It may still be a manic day, but Sunday is often still the best day.
