I found out from old office mates that Jim Russell passed away this week. He was a sweet man, one of those "glue of the office" kind of guys. If you needed your monitor replaced, or if something wasn't quite working, he was always willing to help. He also was always smiling - not sure why or how he managed that, but...
I was going to say that I'm going to miss him, but his death really brought home to me the fact that I'm retired. That Contracting is no longer my home away from home. Hearing second hand something that monumental... thank God for Facebook is all I can say. But I feel sort of... not lonely, exactly. Just alone. Without a tribe. Fortunately, it was just one of my tribes. Time to go out and find another one, I guess.
But at any rate... Goodbye, Jim. May you have peace and freedom and never lose your smile.
