round two, ding...

ok, i just finished with a rough draft of "everything you might need to know about the mess i made while i was working". it's six pages long. i need to go thru it and do revisions. i need to go through and do clarifications. i need to draft a companion document to explain all the acronyms, guilds, and committees that the poor idiot who comes after me will have to navigate. i'm hoping to keep the whole thing under 20 pages, but i'm not hopeful.

when i left my job in dc, i left a two-inch three ring binder, an entire zip disk, and several floppy disks worth of information for whoever came after me. it was incredible. all that whole year, i thought i had just been sending faxes, planning parties, and answering phones. putting that info together was cathartic, helpful, and uplifting. i'm hoping this will be a similar experience.

and just like andy dufresne says in the shawshank redemption, hope is a good thing--maybe the best thing.

now will someone please send me some funny email, because baby nels' mother just sent me the most depressing website i've ever seen...

mil besos--r
