=Draft of letter w/link to below: The uncertainty of the last day has just underscored how temporary this job feels. I have been looking forward to a break after this push, and then some time to explore more stable work. I would be willing to work part time as needed, but think I need something more stable. I'll of course come in the morning to help you through your demo; &any other work that is needed. _Mike http://mike.bobak.googlepages.com/notice.txt |On May 1, 2007, at 9:24 AM, Lou Davis wrote: |Mike, |You either come or you are off the job. |Date: April 30, 2007 10:11:33 PM CDT |I am going go give this work to Vietnam under Mark Watson's direction as they are self-directed.

Well, they have wanted me to try out some of what they are working on for some time, but I've been too busy, and couldn't make the new headspace for it. I've been asking for weeks for a vacation &have wanted to try this. Yet, I'm starting to realize that the break will probably not come. I (for a few) reasons don't consider this very stable employment, even for consulting, and would like to go after the other work. [In my notes, I've put forth the idea of going part-time and being able to do other work for awhile.] If you do end up wanting to transition, I will be available to help with that, and whatever work beyond [in the fashion I just mentioned]. I have really tried to keep the project in mind; even when I thought others were making decisions that were not that healthy for it. Now I've also got to think about myself too. Mike ---------- So I'd like to take a break/go part time; Like I've been looking for for some time, or give notice, which you would take either immediately or as soon as I can help transition. Whatever works out for both of us.
