Practicing my "Go Gators" chant

So, it looks like I’m not going to lose my job. Which, good. I also found out yesterday that many people on the project team are surprised that I’m the one being let go. No one is disappointed with my work. I’ve also realized that the kind of experience that I need I won’t get in Raleigh, so I have talked to some people about a possible transfer. It looks like they will have the work, the question is can I be put on the right teams so that we both benefit.

I was doing the whole networking thing yesterday, and was talking to our I&C guy on the phone. I told him what was going on, and then I told him I was looking for design experience, so if he heard anything let me know. And I told him I was willing to travel. He said, “That’s not the tra- word you want to be using. “

So, now it’s a wait and see. Which we all know is something I excel at.

Oh, good. You had me all worried there for a day, so I'm glad to hear this. I'm confused, though; what's the "tra" word you should be using?

Wow -- what a roller coaster ride you've been on -- and I give you a LOT of credit for sticking through it. I hope everything works out and that you can finally settle into a stable project where a) you can establish a home, b) you won't have to share a car with two other people, c) you enjoy the work, and d) you feel like you're learning something new and gaining good experience.

Yes, what is the RIGHT TRA- word? I am glad that things are continuing to work out.

Tra-nsAm? Tra-vesty? Tra-nsvestite? Tra-nsyvlania? Tra-pazoid? Tra-nqualizer? Tra-nsnational? Tra-nsmission? Tra-nquility? (Von) Tra-pp? (glad!)
