Moving again

[derf]

So things at work have been deteriorating steadily over the last year. Layoffs, talks of contracts getting pulled, increasingly incompetent management resulting in me not being able to do a good job on anything because I waste time fixing everyone else's and I don't have time to do my own work.

So it's time to move on. I found a new job working at a different company that actually cares about doing a good job. I'm getting out of aerospace/defense at least for a while. I'm getting into railroad. I'll be doing software for train control systems.

But with this new job comes a move. I'll be going back home to Iowa. I'm going to pack up the CJ project and drag it with me. I won't get any real work done on it for at least a month or two. But with the way things are working out, the budget constraints should be easing and that means I can do a couple of things I really want rather than having to compromise.

Of course, there isn't much in the way of wheeling opportunities in Iowa so I'm going to be spending some time getting Truck Norris into shape to tow the CJ to where the good wheeling is.

So I guess I'll be on for the next two weeks but then I'll be sporadic until I get settled in the new job.

Oh man, sorry to hear that. And here I was planning to move up near where you are now within a year or so.
At least you will be able to keep working on the Jeeps, thats a good thing.
I guess the other job plan on base fell thru? That sounded like a good one, too.
I'll be in the city in a couple weeks, I'll try and stop by and see how your doing.

Yeah, all the local jobs fell through. I'll be around through next week but then I'll be leaving for a house hunting trip. When I get back I'll be around for a few days before packing up and heading out for good.

AH that sucks But I hope the new job does you a lot better than what you had here...
Wish I could stop in and give you a hand packing up, but if you have any Jeep stuff you don't need...I'm not too far off I-40...LOL
Until later, my friend...
