99 Weeks and the Recovery from the Corporate Needle

A long back-end of 2009 came to a peaceful end. I’ll miss the production crew, but unless something magical happens the synergy in that office we’ll never go back to the way it was. At least not today and probably not tomorrow.

“I’ve seen the needle and the damage done,” Neil Young.



I’ve been told I could be welcomed back as a contractor soon. I don’t know if they were sincere and I don’t know if I’d accept. I’m afraid I’ll be surrounded by ghosts of memories past and there’ll be too much space in that office for the memories to swirl around. Though I’m told the space is contracting. Watched too many tears shed and life is only supposed to go in one direction. But it was a good-faith gesture and for that I am thankful.

But I hope they turn it around. There are still good folks remaining among the survivors. And if the situation arises and bridges are mended, maybe I finish what I started.

Maybe.


As for me, I’m a free agent. My next 99 weeks ought to be an adventure. I’m looking forward to it. I’ll be allowed to sing off-key for awhile as well as find new audiences to perform in front of.

And when I have freedom, people to see, and projects to work on, that only means one thing:

She’s gonna be gettin’ a little work in. 🙂

I’ve got two trips planned before Ft. Myers, Margaritaville and I’ll probably start my retreat around Thanksgiving this year. OldOld Man Finn is 84 and could use a driving companion. I just hope my car can stay at that slow a’speed :-P.

And who knows what that trip could bring.

Thank y’all so much for the support. I hadn’t had this much action on my Facebook page, well, ever.

And there’s a good chance I’ll be seein’ y’all soon.
