Bad News

[vakkotaur]

I'd expected the return to work after a week away to be annoying, with a backlog of email and a few orders that are wanted yesterday if not sooner. No such luck. That would have better than what actually happened. The backlog of email was sorted out quickly, but it had something far nastier than an urgent order in it. A sudden company wide meeting announcement for a meeting in the production area is seldom good news. It sure wasn't this time.

One of the IT guys here died of a heart attack last Thursday morning. It happened about 3 AM, or the first attack did. From what I've heard (which is likely fourth-hand or more by now) he was on the edge on the way to the hospital, at the hospital, and didn't make it through the emergency flight to Minneapolis.

I knew he smoked, and now I know he had a family history of heart trouble. That's not a good combination, even if he did seem rather energetic. Even when frustrated he was laughing at the situation, and I never saw him in a truly lousy mood, at least not that I could detect. I'll miss him.
