It Is Official

As of June 26th, I will no longer be an employee of Lawrence Livermore Nat'l Lab.  On a positive note, I am dictating the terms of my exit which means I have volunteered to be laid off in the upcoming unpleasantness, thus saving someone else's job, and I  will get a severance package I wouldn't otherwise get.

Why would I do this you might ask?

Because on June 30th I start my new job as a health physicist at UC Berkeley.  It pains me to leave the Secret Squirrel Fun, but I desperately need to be using my degree at the professional level I need to be working at.  Besides, as I said to folks who nodded vigorously, I'm leaving the Lab but it's not like I've disappeared.  In a year or two, if they've got something shiny for me I will be more than happy to come back to the nuclear security fold.

*sigh* but yay!

AWESOME! You have totally made a good decision for you and your future. I am incredibly proud of and happy for you! HURRAH! :D

You, sir, have earned yourself a Kermit icon and a beer. You must come to Portland again for the beer. :)
