I figured I'd be bored out of my tree at work today, since 90+% of my job is centered around communicating with other people at the company, and just about everyone in my department has today off.
As it turns out, there's a bad news/good news story: an instrument we built was found to have an unexpected problem, so I spent much of the day debugging that.
A couple of other employees left e-mails late last night detailing proposals for improving production methods, so the rest of my day has been spent analyzing those, and clearing up a bit of dangling paperwork.
Result: a much better day than I was expecting, which should lead nicely into the long weekend!
