Another Update to the Update

I have officially stopped work at ETSC in Marshall, as of Fri. Oct. 15, '04. Approx. one year and five mo.'s after beginning. I will go back and pick up my last check this Fri. and then I will be free to go up to PA, I am still working out the logistics for finding a flight. I don't know how much money I will have coming from this next check, so... and I am still deciding when to leave, and how long to stay, which will also decidedly affect the price of the ticket. A tentative leave date is sometime next week or so. I think I've also set a personal best for the number of abbreviations used in a first sentence.

Here you go Todd...Oct. 15, '04

Notice... Up-to-date-Up-to-date.

Almost invariably, when I sit down to write a (paper) letter update on any given situation worthy of mass updation (yes mom, it is a real word) (at least it was when I made the link... It seems to have disappeared now tho') (seems it's found its way home again), it will end up taking just long enough to write, get approval, proof-read, and edited, then final approval, so that by the time I have all this accomplished... it has now availed itself approximately 10-40% antiquated* (specific accuracy of percentage dependent on the suggested or implied importance of selected or stated issue, measure of actual importance is held by writer and used and/or exaggerated at his/her sole discretion -although not in this case). Then I have to bring the update (ahem) up-to-date. Needless to say this is getting rather frustrating, as this has happened more than just once or twice now.

This partly why I haven't written on this blog for a while... I was waiting to put the finished version up here, in addition to sending out the (paper) letter. Well.


You should be able to read the full update after while. But in the mean-time...

I should have a replacement to train for my position over at East Tx Sport Center soon, if not tomorrow (Wed. Oct. 6)... I am actively -two days, into the process of training my replacement for my position a ETSC. Then, when I'm done, I should be able to take a trip to PA, then I should be able to return and work full-time here at TECH.

Here's your reward for reading my blather.
