This reminds me of the saying "When one door closes, a window opens."

Congratulations and best wishes for continued success, Howie!

Well, Howie and Mike turned in their 2-week notice today. They were escorted out...Free men! They're now on payroll for the new company and we're scouting out office space in downtown Newark. Jackie (Mike's wife) and I are so excited.

Escorted out?? Just because they turned in their notice? Sheesh! It's not like they are criminals!

It's their company policy to escrort people out when they are leaving to go to a competitor. It's kind of silly, for anyone wanting to steal sensitive information would do so before he turns in his 2-week notice. It's all worked out well, anyway, for Howie and Mike are already on the new company's payroll. They're scouting out office space for lease in the downtown area. Mike's wife and I have been going with the guys, me taking pictures to send to their manager in Illinois, and we've all had a good time. It feels like they're opening up their own small business. Though they're working for a pretty big company, it feels more like we're all involved in a small business start-up; already the guys (and us ladies) have a real sense of ownership, which means a lot in this kind of work.

It's meant some busy days, but it's fun. I'm going to take a nap now, though!
