Shufflin' Off

As some of you know, today is my last day at W&S. I had no expectations for this gig when I started, 14 months later I find myself leaving one of the best 'jobs' I've had. The work was substantive; I learned new things and got to brush up on some old skills, the choice to bill crazy hours - or not - was mine alone, and though the pace and pressures of the practice made some people behave a little poorly at times, it was a good group of people to work with. When I left my last permanent job in 2001, this was exactly the type of temp gig I hoped to find. I'll consider myself fortunate if my next assignment is anything like this one.

Before I jump into the next assignment, however, a little R&R is in order. I'm shuffling off to Buffalo and Ft. Lauderdale over the next two weeks. See the family and catch some sun (hopefully). Do some outlet mall shopping (its the little things people), spoil the niece and nephew a bit, chill.

Enjoy what's left of summer.
