i've got nothing to say about the title to this entry except that now we can get to better news.

matt, keep talking about baseball because i dont get to watch sportscenter and i dont read much ESPN online. you are my baseball update

as for the energizer plant. if you think you can run the place and make it better in 3 years then why dont you? seriously if you can get in there and change the plant around, introduce a new view on things then you will be a company hero. not only will you probably get a fat check, you'll make a name for yourself. then if you want, you can demand an even fatter check at the next place. matt, i dont think you should be worried about the money aspect of things right now. the first few jobs you get should be for experience and resume building. yea, the money is nice but at this age its not really an issue. living on 15K$ is not a problem for a 23-24 y.o. male, right? start at small plant and work for 5 years, then get into the headquarters and really get things moving. make it happen matt, america is going to control the global economy (one could argue that it already does) in the coming generations and people like us, with our ideas could make a difference if we are in the right spots.

also, dont think that its dumb to ship parts from different places. sometimes with demographics, labor costs and shipping costs it saves money. look at what walmart did with lean supply ideas. maybe the distribution center for some batteries is down south and it would actually cost more to ship the completed batteries because of their extra weight, so they just ship the little plastic top and finish the battery down there, close to the distribution center. those old engineer guys may not know why things are done the way they are, but that doesnt mean that there isnt a good reason for it. if its one of those "this is the way we've all ways done it" excuses, then it deserves some looking into.
