PERSONAL LOG, ENTRY #2502 AUTHOR: Malcom D. It's not easy to make some adjustments in one's life, but eventually I took the courage and made it. Two fortnights ago I resigned. I went though all the required discussions, and now we are finally packing up. Our departure slot is register for a couple of local days from now, corresponding to 31 earth hours. The SVERSYL is almost ready to leave Fnynzr. I already said goodbye to a couple of good guys from my soon-to-be-former crew, as they will work on one of the Fnynzr moons for a while. I will take my leave of old Arnold: we invited him for dinner. I've got no other friends on the station. All those kids can take a deserved walk on Fnynzr. More than once I was tempted to parametrise that crappy synthesiser in a legal (yet somewhat unusual) way, so that it would burn spectacularly and show how incompetent they are. But this would put even more stress on my good friends. Actually I'm doing my best to leave everything in proper conditions. Working with these components is hard. When I started my career as engineer, building system infrastructures was very simple, and you could do everything in your workshop. Nowadays you have to put a clumsy tech-suit on for any random little operation, and I still fail to see any advantage with this new way of working. To overcome these limitations I invented a trick: I'm using one of the CBQ supports to get myself close to the bus joint. The supports are intended for the transportation and assembly of synthesised artifacts, but if I use them to carry myself it becomes much easier to do the wiring. Sure, it is slightly dangerous, and the process is not canonical. But as I said, quality doesn't matter anymore. I've sent a couple of messages to some fellows and, if everything goes smooth, both me and Janet should be able to get a new job on Rqtr. They need both system and communication engineers, even though it is not clear what they need it for. We will figure out... EOF
