Last day at work

Tomorrow is my last day at work. As much as I'm looking forward to my little adventure in the Middle East, it is hard to say good bye to everyone. I really like the people I work with, even if I don't like my job all that much. I've also gotten a lot of support from my coworkers, even if they don't understand why I'm going, and from the management at Perot Systems. Today at our department meeting I was presented with an autographed copy of Ross Perot's autobiography. He actually took time to write me a note after being informed that I was deploying. It was very cool.

It's very wierd. I feel like I'm about to enter a new stage in my life. It's kind of like getting a new job, only a lot more intense. It's a good feeling.

Dan - you know how proud we are that you are making this choice. I am glad that you received such support as you end your reign at Perot....sounds like a nice little bit of reading material personally signed by Ross himself!

Sorry we can't be at the big send off next week - we'll be there in spirit.

Katie and Jason

Hey Dan,
I read your last post about your last day at work. You said it "was cool". I think you're very cool and I'm so very proud of you! This is a wonderful thing you are doing for yourself, your family and your country. Take care, stay warm in MN and safe travels to WA. I'll be following along on this blog. Love you,
Jean
