Gone, but not Forgotten

November 8th, 2004 by Hal

It's been far too long since I've posted on these pages. My life has been busy…so busy. And I've enjoyed every minute.

Among other matters, my youngest son is investigating his options for college. We've enjoyed our tours. It's been great father-son bonding.

I've concluded that college is wasted on teenagers! Boy would I enjoy spending four years of my life immersed in learning without a care about work. Oh well…

So now I'm back writing. I've been working on some exciting projects. I'll share my learnings and my short-comings. And I hope to hear from you along the way.

Made my day when I saw your email in the inbox this morning. Thought we had lost an essential voice!
Welcome back.

I am sure it was a well deserved rest, Hal. Of course, it came right after I got everyone signed up for the blogmail.

It wasn’t quite a rest, but I am refreshed with plenty of material to share!

You can go to college! Try teaching. It’s almost as much fun as being a student and pays slightly better.
There are a bunch of good positions posted here: http://ascweb.org/asc/employment/index.asp?pass_GoToNext=Academic

From the Lean Insider: Speaking to Toyota employees at the Detroit Auto Show President Watanabe asked that they take responsibility for recent quality problems.

"I do not regard the problem as something that suppliers are responsible for. We must work together so that we are fully aware of where suppliers are."

Bernstein closes saying, "At Toyota, they know that doing the best job of serving the customer is what makes the company profitable."
