Got to work all happy and got my prototype hardware made, hit some meetings and them met with my rep about the prototype....unfortunately my rep and the mat'l engineer from the vendor agreed that the extra temp would not do good things to the hardware...suxors...
We brainstorm for an hour sitting with the hardware, me showing off the analysis...they have an idea. I suggest that they make a "intense non-commercial grade" of the stuff I had chosen cause everyone luved it minus the low temp threshhold. So, hopefully monday I will hear back to see if they could scrounge some samples...other wise it will be 2 weeks while we spend money on something that might now work...Ugh. So annoyed. Especially after the great peer review and the fact that they fit checked worked..even though I clughed it together with scissors. The Suck...
So, went to a CCB meeting just as my changes were coming onto the agenda...sat for 10 mins to explain the 2 items and left to send out dooming emails and then left the office for the day for the demo. My pager started going off as we were driving but I ignored it.
Had a good time at the demos...though I think I talked too much and by the end I was hot and tired and STARVING since we hadn't had lunch but we had to go to mel's dentist appointment. I sat and finished the sleeve for the dress I hope to wear on Sunday and then we came home. Got some lunch and then we crashed. The cats were lolling in sun patches near the couches and I snuggled up on the couch and mel on the floor and we died for over 1.5 hours. Think all of the time in the sun and the late nights this week added up. Felt really good afterward and Richard came by to wake us up and do more wood working.
Mel and I picked up the house and got things to the point of just needing to do one more set of dishes and vacuuming today. We headed off to kung fu which is getting slightly better or I know have figured out how to ask the right questions to get answers that make sense. Anyhoo, I got to learn one of the sequences of Little Mantis and I learned Dropping Horse Defense which really really looks like kung fu. Its got dropping stances, swan stances (looks like a fancy post) and many things that are very much kung fu. Its the step before you learn first form and many of the elements in it are repeated in almost every form. Though the night was gruelling and my hips and knees ached from the learning...just need to strengthen more.
I get to be at work for quite a while to make up time from yesterday and do some more analysis on the new idea for the seal. Hopefully I can verify the fit and get some slides ready to show off of the probables. Sigh...so annoyed. Even andrew my buddy engineer was annoyed that a good design was foiled by temp...grrr...especially when I had run the usage cases versus production...usally production is not stressful...weird. Oh, well, water meet bridge and slide by.
