29 Aug 01 - 05:27 AM (#537289) Subject: TTFN? From: GeorgeH Our parent company has decided to shut down its Cambridge UK operation, and with it my Internet connection . . We are assured we will still have connectivity until the end of September, but aren't persuaded of the accuracy of that information! So if I suddenly disappear - you now know why! But don't cheer too loudly - I'll be back someday, honest. (I'll get the "bad penny" reference in before anyone else.) Note that the only email address which is still sure to get to me is: chrishawes atonetel dotnet dotuk. Just remember - if I do disappear I'll be missing y'all! Regards George |

If anyone's looking for a Technical Author in/near Cambridge UK I'd be very pleased to hear from them . . But this may be a request that's beyond Mudcat's extensive power! Thanks for the nice words, too! G. |

29 Aug 01 - 09:40 AM (#537413) Subject: RE: BS: TTFN? From: katlaughing George, I hope you won't be dis-connected for long. If you have the capability, some other way, I saw a ton of technical writer jobs, some offsite, listed at www.monster.com and also there are a lot of telecommuter writing jobs listed at WriterFind, and at Telecomutting Jobs. Most of those are US connected, but WriterFind has an international listing and if you work off-site I don't think it matters, anyway. Good luck and please come back when you are able...even check in once in awhile form a library?! ALl the best, kat |

29 Aug 01 - 11:13 PM (#537903) Subject: RE: BS: TTFN? From: Jon Freeman Only a couple of weeks ago you said goodbye to me. I ended up staying but cutting a lot of time I spent here out. I realise things are different for you and I hope things work out for you and that if/ when you do lose your connection that you get back on line soon. Good luck, Jon |

30 Aug 01 - 07:31 AM (#538018) Subject: RE: BS: TTFN? From: GeorgeH Well I'm just out of the "this is what's happening" meeting and things are less clear than ever . . looks like I'll be around for the next month or so but with nothing to do (except Mudcat!!) - sorry for the false alarm, 'thought it's only a stay of execution (a wind-down rather than a chop, for technical reasons I won't bore you with!) Thanks for the good wishes, folks . . and Kat, thanks VERY much for the links - which I'll follow up next week. Now we're off to visit a friend in Lausanne for the next 5 days . . . G. |

In one job I was lied to for a complete year about the future of our department, and in another I got the ax very quickly...there is no good way. I'll PM you some info I learned about Internet job boards and telecommuting resources. Mary |

30 Aug 01 - 11:09 AM (#538130) Subject: RE: BS: TTFN? From: GeorgeH Thanks, all . . Mary, I look forward to hearing from you (but no rush, as I said, I'm away for a few days . . ) And Graham, I wouldn't flatter myself by claiming to be a software engineer (well, I could write a reasonable FORTRAM programme 25 years ago, and my 6502 Assembler's not bad, but these days that hardly qualifies . . ) Cheers - you folk don't know how comforting you all are!
