You may remember about 10 years ago I was applying for a facilities manager position at "That other institution". </div><div>Even though I was looking forward to working in the same place as you, I'm now really glad I didn't get it. It seems we both landed in far better places and are much happier for it. </div><div><br></div><div>Congrats on the new "Job". I think you'll find the hardest thing about it will be ..... NOT working! I strongly suggest you find "things" or projects to work on or you will go stir crazy! (or drive a certain member of your family crazy) and then she will "find" projects for you!! It's not like a vacation or summer break. Did you ever actually take a summer "break"?</div><div>There's not a show, job, event etc. waiting at the end. Just.... more break. </div><div>Anyway I wish you well and hope your new "job" and my present one afford us the chance to meet again!</div><div><br></div><div><div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">Michael Powers</div><div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">ETCP Certified Rigger <span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.294118); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.231373);">#820 (Re'td)</span></div><div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">515-557-0178 cell</div></div></body></html>
