435.0. "Another Goodbye" by MUMPS::KFLANAGAN (Everwhere is walking distance if you have the time) Wed Dec 07 1994 17:46

    This is it, I'm leaving DEC tomorrow.  Digital is in the process of
    trying to sell my group, once they announced that they had accepeted a
    bid from another company I put the job hunt into high gear.  
    
    2 weeks ago I accepted an offer to do PC and network support for the
    University of Massachusetts Medical Center in Worcester.  I think that
    this will be a great opportunity for me. It is a good career move, 
    close to home, out of DEC, and not Cambridge which is where the
    potential owners of this group are located.  
    
    
    I can be reached at home as

    Peace and good luck to all,

    I popped in a tape this morning on the way to work and heard
    
    "Next time you see me, thangs won't be the same
    Next time you see me, thangs won't be the same.
    and if it hurts you DIGITAL, you got no one but yerself to blame..."

    Such a blow, rfb! But being an ex-Digit contractor ain't all bad...
    I've been doing it for almost ten years now... and have had three
    long-term contracts w/Digital (have worked longer as a contractor for
    DEC than I did as an amployee)
    
    Sewnd me your home address too.

Best of luck Kevin, though I don't know if we've ever met ;-)

And rfb, also remeber that quote "the more things change, the more
they stay the same!"  So we'll be saying good bye, but it looks
like in the words of Arnie (not the Asshole ;-)
He'll be back!

435.14without love in the dream....CXDOCS::BARNESMon Dec 12 1994 15:2315
    well...this is really it! I'm off to sign some paperwork for my new
    company and then back here to be "walked out the door", actually
    meaning "having my accounts disabled".....got the start of the Denver
    tapes about 2 AM Sat Morn and the series one tapes of BG from Tim G
    friday afternoon...so the weekend was spent taping and partying instead
    of crying in my beer, so ..."it's all over now, Baby Blue..."
    
    see ya'll when DEC turns back on my accounts when it's time to be a
    contractor
    
    
    KEEP DA FAITH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    peace,
    rfb
