The second is one of those projects where the money comes in in driblets. Right now the faucet is off. It will get turned back on eventually or the National Science Foundation will have squandered taxpayer money. But nowhere near the scale that DoD burns through the dough.<br /><br />As to the current project? There are three to be. One floating, one with the keel laid down and the last named after a politician I didn't much care for. Though in hindsight he's a lot better than the peanut farmer we had and the ne'er-do-well we have now.<br /><br />I've been through a number of layoffs, I reckon they keep me around because I'm good at a lot of things. Not great at any one thing but a real jack-of-all-trades kind of guy.<br /><br />Of course, that could change tomorrow.OldAFSargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935839956936191547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-24358770733293668302015-03-18T15:38:30.905-07:002015-03-18T15:38:30.905-07:00So what happens to the other project(s) you were w...So what happens to the other project(s) you were working on? Be careful working for that new (old) program.
