My brother was talking to me yesterday on the phone about his new job in New York city. He said that he has been hired as an associate manager from which point they want to develop him in to their personal efficiency expert. HE said that he laughed when they said that he would be doing that because if you know my brother you wouldn't be surprised. He is not what you would call an efficient person. I would have to say that a better way to describe him is laid back. He is the type of person who would much prefer to sit in his house and play music with a bunch of people than even consider building something or writing a book in his spare time. That's one of the things that I love most about him. I consider myself to be a completely organized and efficient person. I get really anxious if the items within my life or the plans I have don't work out. He on the other hand could care less what he's doing as long as he can get some time to chill out every day.

So his company has hired him for the plan of developing him in to this efficiency guru you could say. They have arranged for him to get this six sigma training which I guess is a pretty big deal. He said that after the trainings he will be responsible for maintaining a growth in their efficiency and their productivity. Basically he gets to stand above the whole process of making furniture at this place and he'll get to play little games with them to see how fast they can work and how much they can get done. HE seems pretty excited about it because first of all he's going to get paid a bunch of money. It's also exciting for him because it's like a video game in that he doesn't really control what they're making or what the goal is, but what he does control is the individual moves and which ones get the company to those goals. I'm excited for him I just hope that he doesn't go too loose on this job and get fired or something.
