Rodney Dangerfield, Inc.
For the last six months, the company I work for (which I will forevermore be designated UFC when I write about it) has been working tirelessly on a project. Sixty welders literally working 24 hours a day around the clock (in alternating 12-hour shifts, obviously). Four engineers taking their vague prints and turning them into specs. An entire office staff almost entirely dedicated to supporting everyone else working on the project. The office staff including me, of course. On two seperate occasions, I put in 25 consecutive hour shifts to keep the flow going and us all as close to budget as possible.
The Houston Chronicle just did a
big write-up on the cover of the Sunday Business Section. So are we mentioned?
Why yes, actually, as an "Unidentified Fabrication Company."
We're tossing around the idea of printing up business cards next time the company we signed up for the contrat with come around.

Well, I guess
virtue a cost-plus job is its own reward...
Comment spam is an ongoing problems that we're trying to address. Previously we required people to create accounts and log in. I am thankful to say that is no longer the case. We're giving Captcha another try and are playing around with a text-based Q&A variant of Captcha. So bear with us as we try to figure out how to best get a handle ont he problem. Please note that any comment on a post more than 30 days old will go into the moderation queue, where I will get to it when I can which could be once a week.
