Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Wb 70 accident just before the start of the Kipling exit. 1 car and 1 truck in the left lane partially on the shoulder. Almost a complete stop but you guys might want to avoid wb 70 for a while. Roads are fine just wet. Be safe guys!

I showed up unannounced on Monday. I told them I didn't understand things and that I wanted the gun to run.
yesterday I spent about two hours with Mark LaRue and some of his engineers and we had a good chat and some range time.
im a nerd at heart, so I asked the nerdy questions. The right people were there to give me the nerdy answers.
The end result is that Mark asked to buy it back. A couple other folks there also offered to buy it to put it in their personal inventories as well.
Just doing what I can to stay on this side of the dirt.
I hate bureaucratic bullshiz!
New project wants me to submit a letter of intent to leave my current position without giving me a written offer for the new position. They say they can't do that until my supervisor starts searching for a replacement for me. My supervisor says he can't start searching for a replacement until I give him a letter of intent to leave.
All the while, work keeps piling up on my desk for the new position (at a ridiculous rate), but I can't work on it yet because I am not on the new projects' payroll.
me too what are the chances they'll pull the rug out from under you?I hate bureaucratic bullshiz!

I use to work for the state , it's worse than the .mil at least in service you know it's in triplicate. The state seems to feel it needs to go through your dept, up the dept ladder, then back down. 2 months later, it's too late. Especially when all you wanted was approval to relocate an item from room 101 to room 102I hate bureaucratic bullshiz!

The Great Kazoo's Feedback
"when you're happy you enjoy the melody but, when you're broken you understand the lyrics".
That's pretty awesome. It speaks well for the company's reputation, as well as Mark LaRue personally.
It's good to hear stories of companies and people standing behind their products and not being dickholes.

Our outlook server has been down for a day and a half... I guess no work is getting done today either.

Zilch. The new project has stated multiple times over that it will only succeed with me in this position. I am the only person in the world (not exaggerating) who has seen all aspects of this instrument from installing at the mountain, to doing engineering work inside the instrument (in clean room conditions), to deploying their fiber optics train, to fully populating all 8 containers with fiber optics, to daily maintenance/debugging/feeding, to observing with the instrument.
My new position will be to create all the hardware between the telescope and the instrument, then train the chilean observers/day-staff on everything I designed in addition to daily maintenance of the instrument, then to work side by side with the instrument designer to build the instrument (assuming we get the funds, which its looking promising), then installing the new instrument at the new telescope and spending 6mo getting first light and going through commissioning.
It's just extremely frustrating! Give me a signed letter of offer for the new position and I'll happily submit my letter of resignation/intent and start working on the new project ASAP.
