Saved!

What a long day. It started this morning when I actually got to work at 7:30! Can you believe it? Got a decent amount of crap done before having a refresher course on that tool I talked about last night. That went well. I broke for lunch around 12:10 and headed back into the cleanroom around 1:00. Time to finish up some maintenance on a another piece of equipment before someone was scheduled to use it at 2. What perfect timing!!! Except if it were not for the fact that I fucked up! After any major clean, there is a conditioning run that has to be run before the equipment can be released for general use. So I start the run and begin to research a question about certain recipes that require additional processing afterwards. Well turns out I found out the answer and wouldn't you know it - that's where the fuck up came in. See how much I know about processing? Anyways to correct it, I would need to do some additional cleaning that would require an additional 30 minutes, running well into the scheduled time of the next user. I ran into him and gave him the story of how I screwed up and wouldn't you know it - turns out he would be running a process that requires the additional clean as well. SAVED !!!!!!!!!!!! I was so angry with myself I couldn't see straight. The steps I was taking as part of my maintenance in the past has turned out incorrect. Lesson learned. I tell ya, I've got to learn more about the application side of things. I know a lot about fixing them, but piss poor knowledge on the other front.

So after that ordeal turned out, I ran back to toy around more with the tool of this morning. Through toying around with it and reading the manual, I learned a lot and even learned of some incorrect actions that where shown to me earlier this morning. I'd be set if it was not for the fact that the guy I need to train need to use some of the more advanced capabilities of this tool. I've scheduled to train with this guy on Thursday morning. I stayed until a little after 8 tonight and will plan on staying late tomorrow until I get things down. Cross my fingers ya know.

Day two of eating this green stuff had the same results. Got hungry earlier. I washed the dishes when I got home, so that put me around 9:10 or so eating. Stuffed it in! Perhaps too much.

Well I'm off to chill on the couch with a popcycle before hitting the sack. Bahhh!
