If you'd like to plan ahead, future contests are listed in the Teachers Lounge. During this event we will introduce you to four exciting online projects. Frank Quinto is wind tunnel manager. For a Facility Manager every day is different, unlike when I was a test manager. Some days as a facility manager I am putting out fires left and right.

Some of the emergencies I solve have to do with purchasing equipment parts for repairs. I get involved because I have a government credit card. I do a lot of ordering on the Internet. Once I had to drive to the hardware store and go through all the steps explaining that we are a tax exempt agency and that we should not be charged tax. Other time's problems arise due to communication problems.
