"The Turk" called

As I alluded to in an earlier post, the Turk came for a visit today and asked me to turn in my playbook access card. I'm back to what we in the software business call "consulting".

Unlike the last time I was in this situation, my employer handled it with a fair amount of grace and tact . . . not the least of which was that I was allowed to go around and say goodbye to the folks I'd been working with for the past eight years. I still don't know what my package looks like, as they are supposed to be sending it to me by courier tomorrow. I hope the "class act" doesn't wear out when I open that envelope.

Hope all is well despite the Turk. Keep your chin up. Posted by: Alan at October 17, 2006 06:07 PM
Oh Damn. Glad to hear they showed some class. Good luck. Posted by: Clive at October 17, 2006 08:26 PM
I am sorry to hear that, Nicholas. I will check the Firm's postings and forwading anything that looks technical-writing-ish. Posted by: Chris Taylor at October 17, 2006 11:02 PM
Hey - package isn't too bad, and at least you don't have to pay out for health insurance. Just to keep health & drug coverage, I need to come up with $1300 a month. Posted by: Barbara Forbes-Lyons at October 18, 2006 12:16 PM
Nicholas, I’m very sorry to hear of this… let me know if there is anything you think I could do. Posted by: Brendan A McKenna at October 19, 2006 01:01 AM
