Be sure to get back into an S2000 now that you are moving back to Cali.

As an aside, Mark and I are still wondering about the general health and well-being of your room mate?

BTW, are you taking the WRX and the Genesis back with you?
My room mate is fine. I'm keeping the house here for the dogs. I can't bring them with me
I'm driving the WRX to California, and I'm trying to get rid of the Genesis.
Laguna Seca is a scary track. There's also the auto crosses in the Marina Airport parking which is literally next door to where I'll be staying.

You don't want that CR. I heard the first owner abused it.
I heard he also hit a cow.

Don't look at the pole. Look at all the empty space on either side of it.

Work sucks! Can't wait to retire!

I'm a hardware test technician. My project has been delayed, so they have pulled me into software testing. The test cases are written by our Chinese counterparts. Very difficult to understand the broken English and the cases assume knowledge of the platform, which, of course, I have none! The cases are also put together with steps from multiple earlier procedures. In many cases they don't apply, or there are prerequisite steps missing. Many of the steps apply to older versions of SW and have not been updated for the new product.

<Rant over>

whats the project management office or the IV&V team saying about this? Way I see it the deliverables are not being validated prior to asking you guys to test. That has to add schedule delays and cost. Hopefully they are recognizing this as a risk and addressing it. Too bad you are having to deal with this.
