A few days ago, in eh-relative seclusion and to the chagrin of oh-so-many people, I finished the most important part of the puzzle of handling my s@#*. At the ...cost... of several weeks and a lot of concern and frustration for you, you, and you, "it is done," save the coming week's formalities.
Family, other friends, co-workers, and more have been wondering and wondering even moreso than usual. Phone, e-mail, and other contact options for me have been shoddy at best.
In the past 4 months of hiring, about half the people hired in one office had to be let go for a mix of negligence and gross misconduct on the part of key personnel. This, during an especially sensitive growth period that would have been tough even in the smoothest weather. Messy!
These days, I've been mostly cloistered up, cleaning up and making sure, one by one, that everyone gets whats due "and then some". It has meant a lot of 'waiting' for confirmed-completed actions by "the powers that be" and a lot of weird work on my part.
September looks to be a lot of fun for most people involved. A lot of thanks-given and wtfs more than sufficiently resolved; a lot of final words on abuses that slowed down the party for some, and what are likely to be pleasant surprises for the folks who stuck to their guns in the muddiest, foggiest bits--and almost everybuddy else.
and then the party starts in earnest :o
