Shucks, folks, I'm speechless.
-Lion

For those of you whom I haven't had
much chance to talk to very recently,
and even for many of those I have:

As of Nov. 28, 2005, I enter a new world.

I will be an independent contractor
in my chosen field of user-centered
analysis, design, and testing. I have
a chance to operate as a consultant
with Human Factors International, and
I am (fearfully) looking forward to it.

Thanks to those who listened so much
when I could talk.
Thanks to those who asked, "What's up,"
even when I couldn't say.
Thanks to those who offered good advice
or provided bad examples.
I have a whole lot to catch up on.
Catch me soon.

I'd rather be good than lucky -- but
dreaming doesn't always have to hurt.
The future is still under construction.
All I can say is, I'll do my best.

How do you get the first olivepicker out of the bottle?

1. Unscrew the lid.
2. Show her some olives.
3. Wait for her to pick her way out.

Expecting to work mostly with folks/clients in Baltimore-DC, but I have told them I am open to occasional travel. (Heck, I *love* flying.)

Home address is staying the same, but I've been on the contract at Dept. of Labor for over 7 years - I was the first hire, two companies ago - so there's a lot of old files to sort through, both physical and virtual. A lot of memories, too.
