That's good news, right?

I think so...original stalking horse bid was a PE holding company, with a bid of $220 million. So in auction it went for a lot more.

Also, it's hopefully good that your company was sold as a company, as opposed to having its assets sold. It's easier to maintain continuity that way.

Yeah, being sold to a viable oprerating company is great, as opposed to a soulless, bloodsucking private equity buyer.

Since I don’t really have anything else going on and I’ll probably never get the opportunity again I decided to apply for a post office job for the Antarctic summer (October to April) at McMurdo Station, Antarctica and I passed the first round of vetting. So still many rounds to go but wish me luck I guess.

Wow!

[EnochRoot]

That's awesome.

So is this just to get some experience before you become an ice road trucker?

There is a book in Brian's professional journey.

Very much hoping the journalism major is keeping a notebook. At least I think Brian was journalism.

Wow!

Indeed. You're building quite the resume and life story!

Had a buddy (marine biologist) that spent time down there. Knew the folk that were in the Herzog doc. He loved it.

[Steve of phpBB]

Holy crap, that's awesome.

[Giff]

Very cool, Brian!

[rass]

Good luck man

We had a company "Town Hall" this morning...it was weird watching our CEO talk about being out of a job next week. But my understanding is that he and the other Senior Leadership people that are getting bounced got healthy golden parachute payouts.

That's friggin cool, man. (No pun intended)

When you're done there see if you can take a contractor gig doing something at Pituffik (formerly Thule) Air Base in Greenland.

We've all been gifted a Pity FFick, right?

If I could get rid of one single term out of all the corporate buzzwords or whatever you call them that have infiltrated the workplace, it would be "fireside chat," and it's really not even close. I'd have a circle back to this orgy with synergy and put a pin in that for now if I never heard that term again.

Start building a fire next time while they talk.

Just announced we're having a fireside chat this month to discuss our office move. The average high temperature here in May is 83.
