Go pick up Elton's album "Tumbleweed Connection." Get that one stuck in your head instead. No, seriously, that album is on my top 10 all time list fo' sho'. Also contains what I consider to this day to be the best song ever written by modern man... a little diddy called "Talking Old Soldiers."

Reminds me of so many old American TV series theme songs... especially Gilligan's theme. The guy singing it is awesome. He looks so excited.

I misread that as "Taking Old Soldiers"... I know Elton John has a thing for guys, but old soldiers? weird fetish!

I fell in love with this piece over fifteen years ago. In those days I was an angry kid just out of school with a BS and a piss poor job.

My job was to analyze the output of the production system, analyze the product itself, and keep my lid on when the upstairs people did something dumb.

All good things come to an end. Mine came when they shut the plant down.

I took a little career detour or two... and wandered and learned.

Fifteen years later.....

Tonight I stood at my new desk, holding onto the items I had taken from the floor. One door closes and another opens. Yes, I got a promotion this week. Yes, I'm apprehensive that I won't do the job well.

I am extremely psyched - I've been lobbying to work on this product line for over a year now. I never imagined I'd get in on the design and implementation group. Note to self - Next time think big and talk to the people who can say "Yes" rather than say "Maybe" or "No".

They haven't given me my computer yet nor my phone but everyone knows that I'm "going forward". I walked around the silent office, listening to the climate system, looking at the desks of people I've known for some time, seeing their work in progress, remembering what it was like "in the office" and remembering how it used to be and can never be again.

I remembered this piece....
