just completed some interviews at a consulting firm in Pittsburgh
a spinoff from Carnegie Mellon 20-30 yrs ago
got many strong people

went thru the interview ringer last week
again yesterday for a toplevel ambush of sorts
probably will join them in a couple weeks time

serious mixed feelings about it all:
excited to contribute professionally and deal with challenges intellectually
(not as much intellectual timber remains, honestly)
looking forward to be part of a team again
sad as hell about the last year
a big hole in my heart from the losses, never to forget

during the interview last week, BrunHilda came up
I actually used her nickname to my CMU contact when talked
he was Business School professor when I knew him
he was dismayed at BH's actions, so counter-productive
I summed it up by saying
"she did not invest in her people, either financially or emotionally... and had a perverse opposite belief to the NotInventedHere syndrome... she valued external work more than her own people's excellent work [like mine]"

I hope BrunHilda still has a few yellow stained sheets to remember me by
when in Philly last spring I bought two Gift Certificates for Kevorkian office visits
BrunHilda might receive one anonymously
might have to send it to a Boston buddy to mail
always thinking

lately cracking open about 6-8 old dense statistics textbooks

I suspect the economy will have summertime difficulty to truly revive

you can find me regularly on the Mullineaux Buffalo thread, on Voltaire's Porch, and on Steve's Channeling thread
but I dont invest much anymore
my future financial foundation will be built upon an inheritance
unless Ruffian adopts my sorry ass
