easier than writing by hand…

this entertaining response to my farewell email comes from a fellow boeing engineer contemplating his career plans outside of the company.  it deserves to be immortalized at a cosmology conference.

I will know more in the next month. Things outside are slowing down (play wise, before the ski-season) and I will have some time to make decisions. It is exciting. I only hope that I will be able to make a good one–or just one that is so interesting that somebody somewhere will write a song about me. That’s why you started with Vetripoint, right?… The songs, Zane….the songs….you said it wasn’t for the money. I liked your analogy to the bird-girl, too. Interesting; you were both jealous of the other. Her for your bling, you for her satisfaction in her work. We should try to accelerate both positions (in a particle accelerator, of course) until it approaches the speed of light, and then collide them! The yield (if they don’t disintegrate) would be a perfect harmony of job satisfaction and income. I don’t know what it would look like though… a bird estuary (sp?) with a cube-farm around it, or a forest with an ATM machine complete with an included card and PIN number….
