QA Testing - Software testing w/ physical/virtual computers w/all OS's ready for testing. Can set up your lab with virtual machines, design a complete test case, set up tools like JIRA, Bugzilla, Agile... Also, hardware testing of many electronics devices in a cleanroom. Network check - Networks are slow from free riders, zombie packets and interference.
Sister Patricia, our 4th grade teacher, always said, “Idle hands make for the Devil’s workshop.” I always knew she truly believed this as her hands were always busy whacking one of us. She would patrol through the isles looking for some infraction to give us a backhander, ear box or dummy slap. Please excuse me if you can't quite picture these various hits on human flesh, keep reading my childhood stories and it will become much clearer as this was a daily event. If the idea of sending us to heaven by beating the hell out of us was the game plan, we were well on our way. People write me and ask, "what on earth is a double dummy slap? A pinches move? Double backhander and how did Nuns learn these moves? These were the Nuns' tools for corporal punishment. They had to be fast, sometimes not being able to grab a ruler, yard stick or a weapon of choice, they learned to administer a quick hit - flesh on flesh. Where did they learn these moves you ask? I learned them from the 3-Stooges and I can only guess they too watched Moe beat on Curly, Shemp and Larry. Sister Percy was old, overweight and half blind but she had lightening fast hands. I'm sure she would play her tuning fork all summer long, and practice different whacks, specializing in the double backhander. One day Mr. Finch was talking in class and walking by, she turned and gave him a double backhander so quick, he didn't cry until later, shocked that she could move so fast, kind of like an elephant who doesn't feel the bullet until it knocks him down. She let us know who was going to be boss early in the school year - or so she thought. She hadn't met anything like our class of maleficent, misfit, mad magicians and albeit fast hands, her eyes had trouble picking up our sleight of hands. Jacob lived in Egypt for 17 years under the care of Joseph who saved him from famine (Genesis 47:28). Once again, Joseph is a picture of Christ. Egypt is sometimes used as a representation of God's kingdom. Joseph ruled Egypt just as Christ rules God's kingdom. Joseph saved Jacob from famine just as Christ saves the believers from spiritual famine. When Israel was about to go into captivity, Jeremiah paid 17 shekels for a piece of land in Israel (Jeremiah 32:9). This foreshadowed the Israelites' return to Israel, which in turn was an illustration of God bringing His people to Heaven:
Computer Tuneup - People always say to me, "what did you do to make this slow computer so fast?" Working at
Landmark Systems as a performance tuning programmer taught me things the average IT person doesn't see...
Computer Security - Its dastardly out there in the Windows world but I can show you how to protect your ID, Computer...
Software clean up - Can install or delete software like GIS, Office, Dev, SQL, Adobe...
Electronics - iPhone repair/upgrade if its out of warranty but still good. (in a - 500 electronics clean room).
Medical device repair - If they are out of warranty but usable, send them all and I will salvage parts from the unfixables
I.E.> spO2/pulse meters and the like. I fixed 50 of them for $15. each! Tools: hot/cold lasers, TENS, FG (frequency generators),
pulsating magnets,, Raoki, far infrared, marine electronics, GPS's, handheld computers that are out of warranty...
Efficiency check - At Boeing, they paid "Efficiency Experts" to come in and assess BCS. They took away all parties, charged employees for the Xmas party, closed one building and packed everyone in like sardines, turned the heat down, stopped stock incentives, bonuses, halted training, removed COLA's and just wreaked havoc on morale. BCS lost most of their good help and eventually completely shut down. Why do I mention this? Because that's what real efficiency is NOT.
What is efficiency? Its a Company/Organization with a mission statement and purpose with divisions that also state their mission to support the company objective and employees who understand and are willing to meet the goal.
A real CIO/COO has worked many jobs and has many technical and life skills and is worth their weight in GOLD. Most companys are run by Accountants and IT staff. These people are good at what they do but what about managing people, equipment and processess? For the 50 or so jobs I've worked including City and Fed agencies, I've met one good CIO!
He understood business processes and functionality. We spoke often about the triangle approach to business functionality and we both knew the Internet was changing that. Does your business/organization still run in the 80"s? With a Pres, top heavy with VP's, no congruence, poor policies, NO COMMUNICATION, old processes, unskilled labor? Do we wonder why our economy is failing in the U.S? Change does not have to be bad, it can be wonderful if the ego's are kept in check and everyone puts on a company hat.

Statement:
To repair out of warranty electrical - electronic devices, some of them medical, all of them in good working
order upon departure. If bids 3 and 4 are won, it will take us from 200 + devices/month to 2000 +. This is why
I'm working here and now to get ready for this possibility and aiming for the Portsmouth area in an 18K sq. ft
location.
This website - GWRN.org and petethepet.com have nothing to do with the new company that will be formed upon bids win.
GWRN will go away and this site will stay as petethepet.

News of the Day
Michelle doesn't have enough time to check out building sites, rent rates... down in Portsmouth
so if you know someone who can zip around and look - for pay, let me know.
Someone asked about us picking up devices, like you see labcorp vans running around...
I am not planning on it but we will have an AWD Van for special or sameday service to Boston.
If we win Bid 3, this will bring appx. 2000 devices per month from the Boston area. Bid 4 is in
the VA area and we will have to rely on FedX/UPS...
What does that mean for setting up shop in Portsmouth? Basically, I live here and enjoy the quality
of life.. I don't want to leave and why should we not set up here? Everything is shipped anyway and we can
deal with overnight if needed. Yes, we will have the van for fast pickup/delivery when needed, especially
in inclement weather. Have you seen VA weather today? LOL
Folks, it takes 1 day to get an LLC and all the necessary paperwork, these things are already in the plan and
won't take but a day to have all the ink done. There is only one hangup that may appear. Its receiving medical
equipment that needs sterilization. This is NOT like needles and all those hazardous materials that get put in
a special bucket. But, we want everything to be safe and will sterilize all items incoming. I will be approaching
the local officials and zoning laws before finalizing any site.
The reason I like the Portsmouth base is that we can have a co-locate web-site within a mile, a day care center within
walking distance, perhaps a gym too. This takes alot of stress of us and people with kids can really enjoy having them
close by. I realize the web-site may grow to be a bigger, more B2B and am prepared to do some business over the web
because if we win either bid 3 and/or 4, this puts us in a new light, competing with big players in the market. The site
will be done by professionals and being an IT person, not afraid to work with the IT hire to put in SQL and all the fixings
necessary to advertise, sell our service... This will be important for the software side of the business which I will detail
on the new website.
As I've mentioned, even if we go 30 employees to start, all calculations show a PROFIT being made in our first year
of business. This is because of the bid wins. Profit means growth and opportunity to stick our nose in other areas
that I think will go. Someone was asking about doing marine electronics. No way Jose.
Keep an eyeball out for technicians/med techs wanting an exciting change, these folks will be tough to get
in this area. Theres always Acct. Temps for HR, payables... Customer Service folks? I want these folks to be well trained, free
from just phones, really part of the Sales and Marketing Team as we won't have to beg for business from the looks of things.
We won't have managers in this business strategy as I've had 2 decent managers for the hundred plus I've
worked for. They don't work. We will have Leads for each division and they will rotate. Read more below.
I've approached 2 people recently. I think good help is going to be harder to find than first thought which concerns me.
Wages will be better than the competition. I guess I want the type that is in the 20% that do the 80% of the work category and
they can play hardball. If all works out, we'll be 22 people at the starting gate.
* 1 - COO Should understand efficiency, Co. goals/objectives, multi-dept & inter - dept communications, general electronics, computers and S/W.
* 4 - Electronics Technicians: Basic hardware testing and trouble-shooting. Med techs available?
* 4 - QA, all different levels. 1 in software qa would help too.
* 1 - IT/Web person. Win2008 env. with sql server.
* 3 - Technical Customer Service persons for phone, general office, part of the Sales and Marketing
* 2 - Sales and Marketing working with the CS team.
* 1 - HR person with accounting skills.
* 1 - Acct. Rece/Payable person.
* 1 - Shipping person with some CRM skills, RFID knowledge but will train the right person.
* 1 - Driver under ship/reci, will also train as QA 1 when not driving.
* 1 - Tech writer/Graphics/documentaion specialist, may need a P/T person to assist.
The web business model is hardly spoken of in the business world. We see the buzz words like B2B and software
that helps, but implementing it - a rare event. I can't believe how often I see progressive education sites still talking
about the pyramid model of business. And we wonder why we're in the great recession?
Anyway, let's take an example that will be implemented immediately upon start up. The Marketing - Sales Group will also be
part of the Customer Service Group. Let't call this entire group of say, 5 people to start, a "pod." This pod will have
several responsiblilities including typical duties like phones and data entry.
This pod will inter-link with the QA division, experiencing the delivery, sterilization, sorting and paasing along
the devices coming in. In effect, having full knowledge of a QA 1 (level 1) technician. This will be happening with
all groups or pods, interaction, learning, teaching, never boring, making a more valuable employee and effiicent
company. One more example of 2 unlikely groups or pods, the ET pod (electronic technicians) will inter-link with
documentation department. Ever try to understand technical directions that make no sense? Its because the tech.
writer has no product to test or doesn't know how. Poor Mary Ellen had to write about items she never saw! These and
all groups or pods will share a thread on a communications software package, with lessons learned, concerns,
future improvements and suggestions.
No doubt conflicts will arise, but good conflicts, that help show weaknesses, build team spirit, lessons
learned for future trainees... Of course, the ET will never really want to do advanced graphics or technical writing
and vice versa, but every person and pod will have a decent knowledge of every function of the company and more
respect for what others do. (except HR) Everyone will have a level 1 knowledge of every other department.
This also eliminates that saying we hear all day in American work force, "that's not my problem."
Software like SharePoint and Remedy will help achieve this model. Large screen monitors will be set up in
every division and each division (pod) will be displayed on it. Not from an IT computer up/down software perspective
but from an information - communication strategy.
For example, if shipping is waiting for finished products but QA 3 (release) has not
finalized them, shipping will say so right on the big board! That will get available help/assets to QA 3 for timely
departure. If QA 3 says "we have 2 devices that failed at final testing." QA 2 will be alerted and will have to track
back. I've seen these type of incidents/procedures take days and weeks of agonizing meetings, blame game... This
will be instant notification, not to blame, but to fix, improve, make us successfull.
When I mentioned time will be accounted for its because its the most valuable asset.
Time is a precious commodity and will be accounted for. But this is not to frighten anyone or think that there will
be some sort of robot like Uniblab watching over us. Nothing like that. Its because I've been to too many meetings
where time management is talked about and never understood. Managers with time management programs in
front of them all day and never used or adhered too. Time management is not a software program, its an attitude
and can be learned, improved and make life much better for yourself and others. What's the advantage you ask?
Easy, famous Confusious saying: Work done? Go play.
The Funny
TIME
Some Key Time Patterns in Scriptures and 1994 AD
The 1/3 - 2/3 Pattern -
1877 BC (Jacob leaves Canaan - Tribulation.) to --> 1447 BC (Israel leaves Egypt) = 430 years
1447 BC --> 587 BC (Jerusalem destroyed - Tribulation) = 860 years (430 x 2)
1447 BC --> 967 BC (Solomon builds the Temple) = 480 years
967 BC --> 7 BC (Birth of Christ) = 960 years or (480 x 2)
1877 BC --> to 587 BC = 1290 years
With this 1/3 - 2/3 pattern established, and following the pattern, we see:
587 BC --> 1994 AD = 2580 days (1290 x 2)
1877 BC --> 1994 AD = 3870 days (1290 x 3)
There are more numbers that have meaning, for exampple -
2 = Witnesses, 3 = God's purpose, 6 = number of man, 7 = Completion of God's purpose, 11 = 1st Christ, 13 = End, 17 = Heaven, 23 = wrath or destruction, 40 = testing, 43 = destruction...
The "43" pattern -
And guess what, look what happens with 1994 AD
Q: Can you help me with Revelation 12: 1?
A: "And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars." The Sun is Christ. The moon is the laws of God. The woman are the followers of God. The crown is the gift to the believers to reign with Christ for eternity future.
Q: Your translating Revelation in a way that I've never heard before, so how about Daniel 12:11
“And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.”
A: God gives us Biblical rationale for understanding 1,290 days as 1,290 years by indicating that the 40 years in the wilderness were representative of 40 days:
Q: Is that why you posted those numbers about how you came to 1994 AD in the 1/3 - 2/3 pattern?
A: Yes.
Q: Is this what you mean about the Book of Daniel now open for this kind of information to be seen?
Q: When you say those numbers have meaning, I'm not sure what you mean?
A: Numbers in the Bible have meaning just like words, let's take the number 17 for example:
Joseph was 17 years old when he had a dream that his family would bow before him (Genesis 37:2-10). Joseph was a figure of Christ, as is also evidenced in this passage where we read that Israel loved Joseph (Israel typifies God's people). Joseph's family bowing before him foreshadows Heaven when all believers will worship Christ.
"Behold, I will gather them out of all countries, whither I have driven them in mine anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them again unto this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely: And they shall be my people, and I will be their God" (Jeremiah 32:37-38)
