Harry:

I figure that somehow I am one of the most fortunate people on this
planet cuz I love my work and I have a family I love too. So,
vacation is mostly just to get enough perspective to realize it once
again. Consequently, I have never been able to stay away from work
for very long. Today, I get to:
1. Fix an electron microscope (it is 30 years old and bought on e-bay
for $2200, original cost, $250,000+. Has worked for several years
too.)
2. Measure Nitrogen in something that has never been measured (that
is about as cool as it gets)
3. Invent a new type of x-ray mirror.
My normal life is geek paradise so vacation often gets neglected.
However, to satisfy the daughter, I will continue my trip next week..


Are you as sloppy and cheap in your shop as you are with your boats?
Should we be expecting a huge "ka-boom" or the release of highly
dangerous amounts of x-ray radiation? Do your employees glow in the dark?
