19 years later

Nineteen years ago this month, I started work at Data General as a Senior Technical Writer and Editor. My first day on the job, my office did not have a phone.

Data General was acquired by EMC in 1999. Many of us wondered whether we would keep our jobs. Some of us did not, but I did.

In late March of this year, I was told that my position at EMC was going to be eliminated. For the first time in over 20 years, I'm job hunting.

My marathon training is coming in handy - don't start out too fast, pace yourself, get into a groove, it's going to be a long event so hang in there.
