We Maintain ...
Another episodic update ...
In July, Carilion notified me that I'd be riffed, effective 11 September. And so I was.
The separation package was not bad -- many are worse, quite a few are better. So it goes.
I'm officially retired from Carilion Clinic (or Carilion Health System, no idea what name they're currently using). I haven't put in for a pension as of yet, it's most definitely in the offing.
Meanwhile, SWMBO and I have gone official and married. I'm working on a honey-do list and rather desultorily looking about for a job. The VSRT may well have it's first district president who's employed at Kroger. We'll see.
My son's hitch in the Marine Corps is up (as of July) and my youngest daughter is now stationed at MCAS Pendleton -- she's a helicopter mechanic. I fully expect (based on what I've been told by others in a position to be aware of such things) that before her hitch is up she'll be somewhere in the sandbox -- Marines inland like helicopters, she's a mech. Q.E.D.
So it goes. On into the new year.
Who dares, wins.
