350.0. "One less Dave..." by DRINKS::WEISS (Beer -- It does a body good.) Wed May 12 1993 17:54

Hi All.

  To some of you this isn't news anymore, but to many of you it is.  I have 
decided to leave Digital.  Friday May 21 is my last day here.  I'll be taking a 
week off (maybe even heading west to see some friends in Colorado), and then
after Memorial Day weekend I'll be starting at a place called Concord
Communications, in Marlboro, Mass.  It's a small company (50 people) that
builds network monitoring devices and the software that presents 
all the info gathered about the network.  I'll be doing graphical user 
interface work for them.

  While I've gained lots of great experience here at Digital, this is just too 
good of an opportunity to pass up, and I'm looking forward to taking a shot 
with the "small company atmosphere".

  I'll still be on the internet, so y'all aren't completely rid of me just yet!
:-)

  I know that I'm gonna miss my daily doses of GRATEFUL, but I suppose I could 
always start following rec.music.gdead! :-)  I know that lots of you live and
work in that Marlboro area, so keep me in mind for DEChead lunches and 
gatherings and whatnot.  I'll be working less than a mile from MRO!

  Also, I'd gladly render my services as a drinking partner in exchange for
a small piece of floor to sleep on! :-)

Until I'm all set up there, you can get in touch with me at home:

87 Langholm Drive
Nashua, NH   03062
(603)888-7620.

I've made some grate friends here, you are all very special people, so please
keep in touch!  

Fare Thee Well.

Dave

p.s. In case you can't wait to know, The 2nd Annual Backyard Jello-Shots Party 
(tm) is gonna be August 21st.

350.16what is six times nine??SMURF::PETERTrigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertaintyThu May 13 1993 20:579
    Good luck, Dave!  Was my comment that 42 miles aint much to drive the 
    deciding factor?  Now as we pass each other going going opposite 
    directions on 495, we can think "Gee, I wonder if Dave/Pete is 
    stuck in that there traffic jam! Ha Ha!"  ;-)
    
    Should we have a northern feed-you-face before you go?  Or a Lowell
    area to tempt the Littleton folks??

maybe you should do a house swap?
350.18wouldn't hurt me, but....SMURF::PETERTrigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertaintyFri May 14 1993 15:2910
    > maybe you should do a house swap?
    
    I can't say the idea didn't occur to me ;-)  The problem is, he'd
    probably still end up with the same commute time as from Nashua!
    The mileage might be less, but it takes me a half hour just to 
    get to 495 where I can turn up the speed.
    
    Sigh,
