    I have started a journey to Portland, OR.

    My flight leaves this morning at 6:30 out of Bradley to Phoenix, AZ. I’ll stay there for an hour or two and then zip up to Portland - arriving at 12:45 West Coast time. This will be the first time I’ve been west of Kansas.

    Stay tuned for updates

    P: “how much load is on the bearings?”
    Mike D: “None! they seize up even without any load.”
    P: “that’s really strange.”
    Mike D: “What are some of our options? we really need to provide good bearings to our customers.”
    P: “I agree. I’ll have an engineer call you.”
    Mike D.: “okay. What’s the guy’s name who will be calling me?”
    P: “Rob Schnieder.”
    Mike D.: “Rob Schnieder’s going to call me?”
    P: “yes.”
    Mike D.: “THE Rob Schnieder?”
    P: “No.”
    Mike D.: “oh.”

    In honor of their 10th birthday, Google has allowed you to step back in time and use its search engine as it appeared in January 2001. MikeDiDonato.com doesn’t exist nor does any reference to September 11th or Facebook.

    It’s kind of strange.

    Whenever I’m wheeling a cart around the grocery store or the shop floor at work I am hard pressed not to kick off, jump on, and ride that cart for a few meters.

    I hope I never grow out of this desire.

    A couple weeks ago, Ben did a great job of explaining Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac to us.

    This episode of This American Life does a great job of explaining the greater “credit crisis” in excellent detail.

      File this one in ‘What were they thinking?!’

      December 28th, 2007 by mike d. in What-were-they-thinking?, Work

      currently eating: toast. with strawberry Jelly.

      There are a lot of people taking this coming Monday off from work.

      List of important people out of the office:
      President
      Financial Controller
      VP of Customer Service
      Head of Operations
      Head of Domestic Purchasing
      Head of International Purchasing
      Head of Engineering

      what does this mean? Brace yourselves now… on Monday December 31st I, Mike D, will be in charge.

      The employees are thoroughly confused as to why management would ever let this happen. This morning as people read the e-mail I heard comments coming from corners of the office:

      “Mike DiDonato? what?”
      “Mike DiDonato’s in charge??!”
      “look out. Mike D’s in charge.”

      I think they recognize that this may be the most rocking (or disastrous) day in our company’s history.

      First, I am going to throw a pizza party. Also, I’m going to try and make everyone wicked awesome t-shirts. I was even thinking of breaking out the Christmas lights and making a giant christmas lights mural on the wall.

      I need even more ideas, send ‘em in. This could be a day of reckoning folks.

      Woooooo!
