The sisters are in, so check the front line.

We are pleased to announce that Lawryde has accepted a position in Hydraulic Systems Development within Global Machine Development at the Peoria Proving Ground. Lawryde’s assignment at PPG will include hydraulic systems development and validation activities for Pipelayer and D7 programs.

We would like to thank Lawryde for his many contributions to the Track-type tractor engine installation team. Most recently he was successful in completing the D7 cooling system designs on schedule and below target cost. His TTT engine installation and cooling system design experience will serve him well in his new position.

Please join us in thanking Lawryde for his many contributions and congratulating him on this new opportunity. The move will be effective July 1, 2007.

That announcement makes me sound more important than I am and like I’ll be doing very complex and critical work.

Quick fire questions:


When people with a family history of mental problems (both diagnosed and undiagnosed) say something you did is wrong, is it really wrong?

Why are people without religious affiliation more apt to forgive and not judge others than those who are supposedly Christians?

Why are “normal” people so passive aggressive?

  • Question #1: Heh...

    Question #2: That is not entirely true. I can go at great length as to why here but I would bore your readers. I will give one example: Rock Stars. Rock stars will tell you how to live your life, what food to eat and donate money to starving people in Africa while they burn copious amounts of carbon based fuel to rock out all summer, with extravagant back stage spreads of food, all while making enormous amounts of money.

    Question #3: I only know one truly passive aggressive person. My son. You know, dropping his sippy cup, crying his eyes out until you get it, so you do and as soon as you turn his back, he drops it again. And you are like, "That little bastard!!"
    At least he came out normal
