Journal oldstrat's Journal: Parting is such !sweet! sorrow.


I haven't taken the time to post this -anywhere- until now.
AT&T and I parted ways in November and I'm busy searching for the next thing, this time the right thing.

I've worked for Big companies (AT&T, Corning) and small companies of 3 to 15.
For the most part they have all been messed up, for much the same reason.
I'm not supposed to be a follower, I was carved as an independent or a 'reluctant' leader.
So that's where I go now, whatever the next thing is...
It's going to be mine, not somebody else's.

One thing I've noticed in checking Journal's, Blogs, and discussion posts over the last few weeks...
People seem to have trouble forming complete thoughts through thier words.
There are a multitude of entries out there where I'm certain the writer was on the way to somewhere but didn't move the thoughts from head to keyboard.
They re-read what they have written filling in the blanks on the screen, we can't see it but they can.
It's harder than it looks without practice and I was never one to keep anything like a journal.
But I was nearly born talking and back in the dark ages before computers had screens, and occupied buildings I read Samuel Clemens and decided to write the way I talked.

Move it up, whatever's next is next, I'm looking forward to now.
