Well not quite but more on that later.

Friday was a bit of an angry day for me as my supervisor called me early in the day in an attempt to save face and clue me in as to why raises were poor or non-existent this year. I was polite and professional but I did get my point across that the system and process had failed us. He's lucky that he was just on the phone with me, had it been face to face I would probably have slapped him when I mentioned that I had not had a review in 2 years (his fault) and wondered if I would have one in 2011. He made a joke about it. o.o I let him know very quickly that it was no laughing matter and that it was in poor form to joke about it. I'm going to compose an email and schedule an appointment with HR. This problem is bigger than just him. Enough about that though.

The weekend was not hugely productive for various reasons but I did manage to get another coil pack replaced on the Firebird. This means that all three have now been replaced since the car was new, I replaced two under my ownership with the third being replaced prior to me buying the car. Sadly the misfire still exists and it's pretty obvious that it is occurring the worst when the car warms up. It is making me think that it has to be sensor related and I'm back to leaning towards by oxygen sensor(s). Also picked up new spark plug wires but I haven't fitted those yet.

WoW stuff:

So Saturday night we finally got our regular raid crew back together and went after the 'The Kingslayer' achievement from ICC. Most of the group (including me) had never been past Professor Putricide so the fights after him were a bit interesting. All in all though it was a good run and we really did not have much trouble until the Lich King encounter. The fight is not complicated but it does require the group to perform the combat tactics correctly and if they don't then it is a raid wipe. I think we probably did this combat about half a dozen times with us generally getting better each time. The final try at about 1AM and after being in raid for about 5 hours at this point we managed to get him down to 17%. Close to the end someone oopsed and didn't get out of the way of the defile he drops on the ground and it consumed an area large enough that it wiped most of the party. The rest just couldn't handle the fight on their own. We called it for the night with the knowledge that we CAN do this and will come back to finish him off this weekend probably.

Not sure how the work week is shaping up but I'm certain there will be crazy busy parts of it since all four of our design segments have a plan submittal this week. Should be the last big sets of packages going in before design/revision to design wrap up. Got a meeting in an hour with the movers to go over details of how we will transition from our current offices into the new one. Pity I can't just go home after the meeting since I will only be 10 miles away but with it being an early meeting that's not really an option.

*glances at the time* Eeep! I gotta get my tail in gear and get on the road.

Later.
