then my ex-boss got involved, and sold the company on a GraphTec GL-220 Datalogger: he had decided that my talents were better used elsewhere. What happened was he got a gander at my design specs and panicked. So he decided to purchase something in order to (a) minimalize my inclusion in what was obviously an Engineering effort, (b) maintain control over a prized possession: a "problem solver" that (sometimes) rode to his rescue when he did something totally bone-headed on a server, switch, or firewall, and (c) remind me that he had the power to make my life incredibly challenging if I decided not to play his game, by his rules.
Then, after a particularly lousy bout of buffoonery in the IT department, the Engineering Supervisor called him (the Assembly Supervisor) in with the company's president for an amazingly detailed 2-hour meeting, the fallout of which saw the removal (read: firing) of one of the less-than-ept Assembly crew, and my transfer (lock, stock, and barrel) over to Engineering, with IT options remaining intact.
The propeller project was shelved, possibly forever. I was promoted to Eletrical/Thermal Engineering, and I remain second banana to the Assembly Supervisor in the IT department, but that just means I get to keep the admin passwords, come riding to his rescue from time to time: it keeps my days from bogging down in terrific boredom. Guess I should have developed the 'Prop to drive 20 datalogger inputs instead of merely 10. The curse of unintended consequences, I guess.
