This is my last night as a third shift QC tech in New Jersey.

...and in less than a month, I'm heading to Kansas.


Feeling kinda sad, I've spent four years of my life here, and thirty-eight years in New Jersey, but it's time I moved on. I'm going to miss a lot of guys here, and I know I'll never see or hear from most of them again, because that's what has always happened when friends have moved away. Some of the work was fun, some wasn't, as is usually the case with a job.

I know I will miss the eight uninterrerupted hours of solitude in this lab, accompanied only by a computer with high speed web access. It's really the main reason I stayed on here for as long as I have.

It hasn't "hit" me yet, but I think it's starting to.

Are you saying you aren't going to be posting so much no more, former neighbor?

[Urban Ranger]

Kansas is flat and boring.

[Ted Striker]

So what are you going to be doing in Kansas?

[Ben Kenobi]

Well, if you ever need a recipe for a Caesar Salad...

Is this a good job in Kansas?

[DRoseDARs]

Watch out for those Kansas Twisters, Dorthy...

KCMO is anything but flat and boring.

Yes, it probably mean I won't be posting as much anymore, at least at these hours. It depends on what the new job has in terms of workload and internet policy.

I haven't looked for a job there yet, this is a swan dive into the Abyss. I will be staying with my folks until I have a job, then work a few months and get a place. Should be a fun six months or so. Depending on how it works out, I'll be there anywhere between five years and forever. If it dosen't, there's another 48 states to try out.

...and yes Drose, I'll be careful of twisters.

Keep in touch man. I have a job like yours, and I've been dreading the day when I'll have to go back to working for a living.
