The last of the fixtures have arrived – they fit perfectly – there is now a godawful amount of pressure on putting all the acquired hardware to use.

Have to produce more, convert hardware into production systems, get the lab in shape (Awfully expensive lab hardware from Agilent (7890 GC, 12 vi static HS) & Waters ( Isocratic HPLC, UV – vis detector , Empower complete version) are lying unopened, uninstalled, not contributing) get EMEA approval and all pretty damn quick.

There is more than subtle pressure on me now.

Phase I – Due diligence, Coughing up $$ and putting the $$ to the correct use – this phase is pretty much done by now.

Phase II – The business plan must be put to work. All physical assets are to be converted into useful objects which help to make $$. Promotions, customer calls, audits, approvals, Visas, Visits and *sigh* websites.

Phase II is mostly on my head.

On the brighter side, if (im sure we will, so lets say WHEN, shall we?) – ok – WHEN – we pull it off – we’d have more than definitely gotten somewhere.

Heck, I’d have gotten somewhere too.

I’l be counted in as one of the grown-ups, i wont feel bad about obsessing about a vacation in Scotland and probably receive less Gaali in return after lecturing MB on how to run a business hes managed to build over 20 odd years.

P.s I am working on a broadish website theme – one for our pharma business and the other for our other verticals. I’d doing our business a BIG disservice if i dont get them both up and running before the New year.

Trouble is, like with everything else, i try and set my own standards for design and structure right up there near The Newyorktimes and the Guardian – and consequently squander away time on pointless evaluations of content management systems, opensource platforms and what not – while the actual sites have already been paid for – just waiting for specific content (MY job)

I am probably not very different from some of these regular talentless assholes.

The sooner i realize it and churn out more common minimum standard** level work – the better for me. No ?

P.s 2 Here is a little something for download – it looks like a joke, i know – but it sort of is the skeleton around which i am making a big presentation for submission on Monday.
