Holy cow are we busy! 

My minion is working like 60hr weeks. Me too to support him.

I hired a guy part time second shift so that's good for about 15 extra hrs a week.

I am going to work 3rd shift for the next two or three weeks to help us stay ahead of the game.

I am seriously looking at adding another lathe with a magazine barfeeder (loads replacement material from the magazine all on its own)

Customers are very happy with us and are basically hurling work my way as fast as ill take it.

These days its goes like this: sweet, we got the order.....make the beast with two backs, we got the order

I find it disturbing that you're imagining me in a sauna, never mind the teletubbie aspect of it

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.
