1985.0. "Where is everyone??" by BIGFAB::T_SULLIVAN () Thu Aug 25 1994 01:49

    
    	Hello!!! Anyone out there! Did everyone get TSFO'ed? This is
    the most inactive I've ever seen this conference. Doesn't anyone
    have anything to say??

It has been kind of quiet. Some thoughts:

- notesfiles go through cycles; DEJAVU is in a quiet period
- some (several, many) regular participants have left the company
- the regulars who are left haven't had much new happening in their lives
  that they feel is worth sharing (*)
- there haven't been many news wierd events to discuss (e.g., crop circles)
- relatively few new participants are coming to this notesfile (**)

I think the stuff Marcos has been posting lately is pretty interesting.
But that kind of gives you an idea how desperate we must be :-).

(*) - In actual fact, it may be that many people these days are finding
their attention at least partly consumed with job security. I know I
certainly am, as PRL is due to close in about a month and all of us laid off.

(**) - Relatively few new people are coming to Digital, in general.

    That's terrible, Mike.  I didn't know.  Do you have any plans yet?
    
    Still no real definite word on the fate of my tech. writing group.
    Just waiting for the axe to fall.  Or for the axe to be TFSO'd so 
    that we can stay.  (;^)

>That's terrible, Mike.  I didn't know.  Do you have any plans yet?

Hmm, maybe I haven't hit the denial or anger stages, yet, but it
doesn't seem too terrible. I mean, here I am, "stuck" in the place I've
wanted for years to be (no ticket back - this was a one-way relo), with
at least a couple of months to think about things and what to do next.
No definite plans, yet, but quite a few promising options.

Meanwhile, Digital's been great. Almost every minute of it. In fact,
it's still great, right now, right up to the last few days.

But now's a chance for change, and change is good. Definitely looking
forward to it. In fact, can hardly wait. I'll probably miss a couple of
notesfiles, though.

    Mike,
    
    Well, I'm kinda bummed since you were in TAY all that time before your 
    move and we didn't get together.  However, I hope the very best happens
    for you there, and that you promise to keep in touch.  (;^)
        
    Did you ever know Michel Barbieri from France?  We used to correspond,
    but he's gone now and I have no way of getting in touch with him.  A
    long shot I know, but then, this is DEJAVU.....(;^)
