There&#8217;s still more to do.  We need to achieve at least a stable state from which to issue instructions for when the packers \/ movers arrive tomorrow.  I&#8217;m really glad we went with the &#8220;partial pack&#8221; option.  Anything that&#8217;s not packed yet will simply be put in a box and appear (hopefully) in Rhode Island in about two weeks.<\/p>\n<p>New owner did the final walkthrough.  We explained about burying the roses.  She was baffled.  She&#8217;ll learn.<\/p>\n<p>Negotiations continue with the prospective bosses.  They need to get through their head that I&#8217;m simply not going to sign myself out of the entire industry.  &#8220;computer programming and \/ or high performance computing for life sciences researchers and, plus whatever we happen to be working on besides that, plus no working for any of our clients, prospective clients, suppliers &#8230;&#8221;  Not without a promise of truly obscene pay for the duration.  If I have to take an involuntary year off, I want to take it on vacation.<\/p>\n<p>Considering tapping the &#8220;unholy strength&#8221; that is 10pm coffee.  I&#8217;ll twitch and have freaky dreams&#8230;but I&#8217;ll get another two hours of productivity.  Yeah, that&#8217;s probably a good idea.<\/p>\n<p>Now:   No more thinking.  That thing you&#8217;re holding:  Pack it.  Now pick up something else.
