In the coming weeks and months I plan to spend alot more time here, and with the new pup Jax. I’ll be on vacation for the next 5 weeks, burning up the >200 hours I have remaining on the VAC account before being laid off at the end of August. This outcome to ending my career with Lockheed came about quite fortunately due to a serendipitous turn of events described here.
Many factors were considered in approaching things the way I did over the past year leading up to my launch into unemployment. Deteriorating health was the main concern. Timing is of course, always important.
