The Memo Came through to Feng's data padd, he took his lunch break, the last one he probably will get in a long time, he sat at a desk and begun eating his lunch and reading this Memo from one of the best engineers in the fleet.

 

He read -

 

Allow me, first, to introduce myself. Effective immediately, I am the new foreman of the Challenger construction project. Commander Murphy did a commendable job during his short tenure as foreman and his services will still be contributed to the project in a reduced role. However, Command feels that changes to the project are necessary, and, I assure you, those changes will come under my supervision.

 

He paused and pondered. Wow. He thought, his greatest admiration is actually leading away this Nx project, the Man from mars. Feng haven't had much contact with the colonies of Mars, neither knowing that they've existed, all he knew were vague impressions in the daily news. He continued.

 

So, of course, can some sweat and strife. Those of you who are not just recently joining the project are used to a relatively light work schedule. This is the first item that will change. Effective next Monday, June 7, all workers will be expected to report to duty by 7:30 AM EST, and the work day will conclude at 6:00 PM. All workers will be entitled to one 10 minute lunch break. Any workers wishing to contribute more than the required amount of hours is free to do so. All workers will also be required to report to duty on Saturdays, when the work day will run from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Sunday duty is optional.

 

"Whoa." he commented as he read this passage. "Thats 13 hours and 30 minutes, with 10 minute lunch break?" He said to the padd as if it was going to answer back. 13 hours was a very long time, plus with only 10 minute lunch break. Feng looked at his coffee, still steaming hot. This could mean the end of his coffee drinking addiction, his coffee usually cool down after 10 minutes, gulping all that is enough to drive a man crazy.

 

He bit into his sandwich. Surely 13.5 hours a day, 5 days + another 13 hours on saturday a week, would already drive some people out of their skulls. But Feng couldn't care less, as crazy as the work schedule and dead line was he felt right at home, busy days. At least one crazy goal will solve the other.

 

He ate his lunch alone, in bitter thought.
