Acceptable Loss

Meeting on Friday concerned deadlines again. We are now committed to a 1 July cut date for /4 and a portion of the northern end of /5. The northern end of /5 has multiple occupancy levels and is thus far suggested to be left alone in its entirety. It's a shame we had to lose focus on what was important over the last few months. We've just been slipping further and further behind, DOT isn't helping any, either. So, I get to spend my weekend coming up with ways to maximize the number of things we dig in /4. This means, not necessarily cutting corners, but manipulating our digging methodologies to buy us more time to dig the more... favorable, special features. I hope your weekend is better.
