What's taking me some time is getting back into the swing of hunkering down and WORKING on the computer after the end of my day job. Not drinking a beer or two, not futzing around here. Also, while the company has some report templates, the Word and Excel programs are a lot busier, and to me, less intuitive than I remember in terms of generating automatic Tables of Contents, List of Tables, automatic footnotes, lists of references, inserting Excel spreadsheets into Word documents, etc. I haven't done serious report writing for about a decade. But I'm getting up to speed. Also, what pleases me, is that I know the Management of the company really appreciates my "old world" expertise to solving problems that the 20 something year old kids have no concept about. Stuff like I recommended that they use a micrometer to measure some zinc plating for a client to measure deposition rates from a galvanizing operation. They had no idea what a micrometer was. Never learned about one in their BS or MS industrial hygiene college curriculums. I brought a micrometer in and they had never seen such an item.
