June 12^th1997 (Thursday)

I'm sitting her on a beautiful afternoon having just submitted a job description, trying to sum up

just everything that's happened in the past few days. My boss has left for a higher post and someone

I don't know will soon have me as a "report". I hope it doesn't turn out that way.

So, just in case, I wrote my own job description and sent it to Judy, my departing boss, to share with Harvey, whom she no longer reports to, so he could approve it (as if that were going to happen).

“I'll get back to you in a few days” says she. Says I, "OK".

The job description integrates quality, planning, health, safety and environment as well as building issues and, almost forgot, do the budget. We'd start with the quality pieces as the current incumbent

is leaving for a six-month stint in Brazil, expressing the desire NOT to return to his current job.

Simple, move me for him and we add another person to take my job. The incumbents return status is now up to others.
