I finalized the paperwork today, so time to say: here I go, moving yet again.
A) This time, moving from Texas to Arizona
B) It’s for a ‘real job’ with a ‘real company’. Of course, the last time I tried this (for RIM), I was laid off after making 1 house payment.
C) I had to agree to certain ‘terms and conditions’ for this job. Yes, I can still do the synth work but cannot publically promote it. Meaning, I cannot post here or on Muffs, cannot attend NAMM without written permission, etc. So, I will have to go ‘radio silent’ but certainly can respond to individual emails. My phone # will remain 817 876 4998 (probably wrong on the site). Yes, I can keep the site but some content will be edited and I am restricted what can be put on it. It’s not as bad as it sounds, I just have to comply with the agreed guidelines which I will do.
D) I am physically moving in mid-September, it will take until Oct 1 to calm down, establish new Internet, blah blah blah. I expect to be in training the first 2 weeks anyway so I have to focus on that versus synth stuff. But I am taking all the “synth stuff” out there via U-Haul trailer (I bet that will be exciting in its own right). Then, in Feb. I will be moving my crap into a 4bdr house with all the Texas crap. Yes, there WILL be Goodie Boxes.
E) OK, now how does this impact 5U module in the backlog? Well, I will build and ship as many as I can because I do not want to take much 5U parts/panels/etc because they take up a LOT of room and I’m in a little 1bdr apartment. The upside is I will have lots of spare time being by myself (hopefully neighbors are not crazed) and synth building reverts BACK to HOBBY. This is mostly a mental stress issue with me and will result in increased output (sounds backwards but it is what it is). The net result is yes I will be “down” for about 18 days but once “back up” will have the backlog reduced rapidly. You will note that the shipping address will be a PO box, I will go to the UPS store and sign up so I can send/receive packages as this apartment is temporary.
Let’s hope this move (much more dramatic and involved, 1100mi versus 12mi) turns out OK.
