MY Week: 12-18 October 2009

Steve Cole reviews the last week:

It was a busy week, finishing two major products (Hydran Attack and Klingons PD20 Modern), but by Sunday afternoon it had become what Leanna calls "a good tired".

The weather was ok all week, even a little cool in the morning and evening. It rained on Tuesday. The cracked ribs continued to bother me all week. Petrick was out for two days with a chest cold. Jean got a clear report on her surgery (no cancer) which was good.

The week started with a staff meeting that decided to delay F&E 2010, Fed Admiral, and FC-Briefing #3 to next year and move Captain's Log up to 16 November. The routine stuff was, well, routine. I changed to long-range, off-hand target shooting and my score dropped from 98 to the 70s, but I was too sore most days to shoot. Leanna uploaded the Klingon Armada ships to e23.

The bulk of my week was spent working on Klingons PD20M and Hydran Attack. I finished Hydran Attack on Saturday at 1pm and Klingons PD20M Sunday at 2pm. We got the covers for the boosters and Mike and Eric spent two days packing those.

We packed up a bunch of new miniatures and sent them to the casting house. They haven't arrived there yet, so I do not know which ones made it into the Master Mold we are doing. (We had enough ships for two, but not all of them may work, and I want to save the second master mold for the Hydran Pegasus we are waiting for.)

Eric uploaded some stuff to the new web pages for Starletter and Mail Order Bonus, and some more Star Fleet Times issues.

We look forward to next week with excitement. On Monday the 19th, we will ship a slew of new products (Hydran Attack, three boosters (#25, #26, and #27), seven packs of minis (the shuttles and fighters), and the Klingon RPG book) and on Friday, Leanna and I will pick up 400 pounds of raw meat (beef hearts, kidneys, and livers) at the slaughterhouse and leave for the Wolf party at the Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary. Somehow, throwing new products to the customers and raw meat to the wolves seems ... well ... it seems like it ought to seem like something.
