One week left?

I haven't written anything about my upcoming leave of absence from work for a number of reasons - not the least being that until all of the paperwork is signed and in the insurance company's hands it won't begin next week at all (serenity now ... serenity now) and I am still waiting for the physician's form to be completed.

When everything does fall into place, which it all will eventually, I will begin a new phase of my life where I will have to find things I can do to keep myself occupied every day. This will be more difficult than it might appear at first - mainly because a lot of the things I like to do I can't do for very long anymore. That said, there are a lot of things that I can still accomplish that will just take a lot longer to do than before. Fortunately I was able to invest during the past year in a nice computer and suite of software that will enable me to continue making little videos now and then.

This coming week may be the last time I go to work at Applied - something I have been doing for the past 28 years. All of the things that I have had to do on a daily basis - good and bad - will be a memory. Mandatory training courses ... weekly reports ... bosses who don't have a clue what you do there ... project planning ... no project planning. Won't be missing any of these.
