	What am I writing here, an ELF registration?  Let me put it to
    straight: I'm a former IVIS programmer for Sales Training, a couple
    of months ago - IVIS disappeared as quickly as SEXETERA (from Sales
    Training anyway).  Being somewhat new to Vaxnotes, I never got to see
    SEXETERA; I imagine alot of people will never see IVIS either.  I hate
    seeing things which you pour your guts into disappear.  As a result,
    I am going to try to do alot of my own censorship (thank you), but I
    can't guarantee that all of my transmitted thoughts are going to be
    caught by my own personal thought police before escaping into the
    network via my trusty key-punchers. 
    
	To take up where I left off, I've been at deck over two years
    now...not thinking of leaving, but I'm definately looking around.
    Somehow I've managed to scrape together a sense of humor to help me
    through this ordeal and that's what I hope I can share with everyone
    here.  I will try to use humor which is suitable for the "Mr. Rogers"
    TV viewing audience so as not to offend anyone.

    p.s.  I'm married one year, with no kids or pets, only house plants.

    I'm mostly a reader of this conference. Only once in a while will
    you see me crawl out of my shell to post a reply. 
    
    I'm not a native of Syracuse, I hale from Washington, DC and the
    great (well...not that great) state of Maryland. Syracuse is not
    much of a party town and most of my good friends are all back in
    Baltimore so my social life is at a low ebb these days. I let work
    fill up most of my time and Noting is a big part of that.
    
    I'm glad to see this conference is doing well, I hope it lasts.
    
    Paul.

    Syracuse not a party town ?

	Seek man, seek !

	    I used to have a blast there !

    Hi, Glad I found this conference!  I was disappointed when SEXCETERA
    went away, but this conference may provide useful replacement.

    Hi, I'm Jerry, and this is new to me, to use this medium to discuss
    issues of this type, (human relations), although the subject matter
    is of infinite importance, to me.      To date, I have preferred
    the face to face approach to human relations.  However, it is my
    suspicion that there are a group of folks out there, with whom I
    might find some fodder for further growth.

    Hi,
    
    A friend of mine (hi Doug) told me that this would be a great
    conference for me.  Well, here I am.  I am an Administrative Secretary
    in Stow and have been here for a little over 2 years.  I am new
    to Human_R but have played around with notes (i.e., THE_PHOENIX:
    again, hi Doug).  I am presently searching for a *nice* job within
    DEC but have found that looking for a full time job *is* a full
    time job.  And, as it goes, I have *social* obligations as well
    as career and I have only 1 brain, 2 arms, 2 legs and what I am
    trying to say is this job search really stinks.  But, if my social
    life keeps me happy, I guess I can't complain.
    
    I will enjoy reading the entries that people have submitted and 
    when I have something to contribute, I shall give it a go.  
    By the way, a special subject that I am learning
    about and feel close to is the subject of Adult-Children of Alcoholics.
    I can share with you my mother's misfortune as only an example but
    I am very proud to say that she is a recovered alcoholic for 2 years
    now.  She has come soooo far but still has a long way to go to start
    feeling better about herself.  That's the whole point behind this
    disease (no control over alcohol and a whole bunch of mixed up
    feelings).  As her daughter, I have special considerations.  I have 3 
    other  sisters and we are all different.  I feel that my counseling is 
    going to make me adjust more fully to a *real* *new* *life*.
    
    What gets to me is that I am now educated about the abuse of alcohol
    but my sisters haven't received counselling.  And, my mother tells
    me: "Back off Cathy, you can't change them.  Let them alone and
    just strive for happiness your own way."
    
    Well, I work at this every day and I have been much happier than
    about a year to two years ago (my father left my mother because of 
    alcohol: don't let anyone fool you, this is a FAMILY DISEASE!!)
    
    I could go on and on but I will hold off a bit.  
    
    I look forward to further discussions on this matter and all comments
    are welcome.  
    
    I can talk about *family* divorce but not marital.  Hope to hear
    from some of you.

Mark Cohen

Human Resource Planning and Development Manager

New Product Operations (NPO), located on 3-2 at the Mill

I've been married nearly 11 years to Wendy Gelberg

We have 2 kids:   Stephanie 5 years
		  Joshua   20 months

I'm 36 years old. 

    
    Nancy M. Wolochowicz
    Component Engineer  (used to be a Financial Analyst)
    LM02  (Acquisition & Test)
    
    Been with DEC 6+ years.
    
    30 and single.

    Mary-Michael Cochrane
    Cluster Manager
    Artificial Intelligence Technology (HLO2)
    
    Been with DEC 2.6 years.
    
    25, separated (but perhaps reunited soon!).
    
    DEC has been very, very good to me!

Name is Mike Hanauer, live in Lexington MA.

Logical age is 11.

Love Ice Cream, Bicycling, psychology, funky broadway musicals,
and the beach.

When donating blood, the chocolate chips tend to get stuck in the needle.

Enjoy learning other peoples opinions, but sometimes get frustrated 
because it's tough to get them to agree with mine.

Hot personal concern is over-population and resulting loss of quality 
of life.  Get frustrated because everyone doesn't consider this a 
hot personal concern.

	Mike

    Wow I made it!
    
    Karen D. Pickett
    Project Specialist III
    Field Service, Novi, MI
    M/S FHO
    
    Been with DEC 3.3 years (first time using this though!)
    Unmarried, not looking
    Started in Westminster as Quality Engineer, and now I'm here.
    

    The first introduction to me is at 3.83.  But after reading a recent
    note asking for more information at introduction I thought I would
    comply.
    
    Karen - 27 years old.  Graduated from Michigan State University
    with a degree in Packaging Engineering (for those of you who are
    not in the elite as far as what this curriculum offers, I am really
    a quality engineer or a manufacturing engineer.  I've have been
    trained to improve the manufacturing environments of the world,
    thank you).
    
    I presently work in Novi Michigan under the Field Service organization.
    I am considered a Project Specialist (in technical terms, I am suppose
    to be in training for Field Service Unit Management).  The reason
    I became interested in "notes" is due to my change of responsibilties.
    I'm in my inbetween time.  So here I write.
    
    My hobbies consist of sports, but only recently have I become
    interested in football since my lastest "friend" is ex-MSU football
    player.   It was either learn and love or leave and search for other
    fish.  Well, here I stand.  Football helmet on head, six months
    of football season started.  I do devulge in bowling, tennis, biking,
    horsebackriding, reading, go cart racing, video games (by the way,
    there use to be a node out there where I could get into games after
    hours, does anyone know if it still exist and where?) travel, music
    and fun.
    
    One of my all favor pasttimes is writing short stories.  I have
    a million of them.
    
    I am presently searching myself for my next step to further my career.
    Since I really haven't completely decided what I want to be when
    I grow up, except filthy rich, this decision is getting to be a
    real challenge.  Although being with DEC for three years has sharpened
    my awareness of one thing in particular...I love...(to be continued
    at another time)
    
    Bye.

    
    Welcome back, everyone.  Nice to see the "old" ones and the new
    ones!

    married to Linda,
    2 little ones, Kerry (2 3/4,) Christopher ( 4 weeks)

WRU 567

    The emergence of this file is certainly a welcome one after the
    demise of SEXCETERA. Lets hope this file will be as open and varied
    in its topics as its predecessor was.
    
    My name is Alan Hull, age 33.
    Senior Software Specialist, Ford Motor Delivery Unit
    Great Lakes Application Center
    Farmington Hills, MI. 
    
    DTN 456-5600
    
    Currently working as the Resident at Ford Motor Credit Company in
    Dearborn, MI., next to Ford World HQ.
    
    Married 4-1/2 yrs, 12-yr old stepson.
    
    Hello to all!

	Since more detailed introductions seem in vogue, I'll put in a
	newer version of mine... You can find out more about me in
	WHOAREYOU (note #347), MUSIC, SPORTS, BOSTON, FRIENDS,
	SINGLES, ...

	Mike Ryan
	BCSE - Advanced Development and Technology
	MKO1-2/E25
	DTN 264-8280
	BCSE::RYAN
	
	25 and single, home is in Arlington, MA, been with DEC two
	years as of September 15, love music, sports, movies, walking,
	Boston,...

    After reading 91 introductions and finding everyone here to be
    fastinating as to their descriptions of themselves, I've decided
    to enter my intro prior to reading the rest of the conference.
    
    I'm Lee Scott, age 35, married for 5 years seperated for one and
    now divorced for one.  I have no children.
    
    My interests have been many but 8 years ago I fell in love with
    sailing.  Up until 2 years ago I had many different hobbies and was
    always looking for one main interest which I could share with my
    now ex-wife.  (Also looking for something I could share with myself
    I guess).  Now I seem to have given up on all of my hobbies and
    interests except for sailing which I do most every chance I can.
    
    I do have a couple of related goals in looking into this notes file.  
    I set into being, a 10 year plan to leave terra-firma and take to
    the open sea's.  This is because I've mainly come to dislike the
    way our society treats the all mighty $,$$$,$$$.$$ - dishartened
    to see the Portsmouth Music Hall being turned into condos.

    Maybe the above paragraph is a little extreme comming from me since
    I've always been into toys. (The one who dies with the most toys
    wins!).
    
    On a more truthful note - I'm trying to understand a little more
    about human relations and other persons views as I am looking for
    the closely compatable first mate to sail with to the South Pacific.
    The one thing I've atleast figured out is Living with someone on
    land is not as hard as living with the same person on water - You
    can't cool off an argument by taking a breather in another room
    or go visit a friend just to get a way from each other. I don't
    wear sandels.

    As for Digital - I'm a Software Specialist working in the field
    at customer's sites.  Now full time resident at Liberty Mutual in
    Portsmouth, N.H. at least for the next 12 months. (It's great living
    on my sailboat and working so close.  I've got my sea legs and only
    the land rocks, not the water.)  I've been with DEC for 2 years now
    and have enjoyed working with the customers.

    For the next few weeks, I'll probably brouse through and then throw
    out some questions and thoughts.  I usually find trying to express
    myself and my feelings a bit difficult so have patients.  In the
    meantime I'll welcome any vaxmail with questions.  Maybe that will
    bring me out of the bilges.

    Will be talking to all of you later.
    Lee

I'll keep it simple and work related:

    This is my first contract with Digital, having been brought in last
    November for some RPG II Migration manuals.  For the past five years
    I have been a migrant worker in the high-tech fields, packing words
    at Raytheon, RCA, Electric Boat, and Harris Corp.

    I thought I was here, but that system crash a couple of weeks ago
    ate it.
    
    I am Tamzen Cannoy, working  at MLO as the dept. coordinator for
    RT-11. I love the job, but am going to go back to school for a 2nd
    degree and be an engineer like everyone else I know.
    
    For fun I: run SF conventions, do role playing murder mysteries,
    design and creat costumes and party clothes, read, cook, play D&D,
    and, of course, NOTE.

Well, I see I've procrastinated this entry to the point where we're
into 3-digit reply numbers.  Guess it's about time...

Dan Murphy (aka Madman in some circles)
wru #607

Age 43; male; humanly related in well-defined ways to Sara (wife) and
Jordan (son), and in less obvious ways to others too numerous to mention.
Life events summary: born once, married once, divorced none, (and haven't
died yet), so don't have as much first-hand experience as some with several
of the more popular topics in this file. 

At DEC for 14 years now, mostly in Marlboro but recently moved to VMS group
in Spitbrook Road (Nashua, NH).  

Have had a long-standing interest in psychology, sexuality, etc. through
the "sexual revolution" of the '60s and '70s, but was too busy hacking
computers to be on the revolutionary front lines.  Had just discovered
sexcetera in time to see it be mapped into the complex plane.  Have been
reading and writing here but only sporadically due to vacations,
relocations, work, etc.  Am fairly open-minded ("live and let live"),
mostly uninhibited in appropriate situations, but disinclined to risk
physical dangers, pain, diseases, etc.  Strongly supportive of freedom of
speech, rights of privacy and non-interference by the state, and individual
choice in general.
 
Oh yes...  I also like dancing.  That's a relationship isn't it?

    Just a quick hello to the many out there that I already know (i.e.

    be making. For the most part, (there are always exceptions..and
    so goes life) its a pretty refreshing group of folks in this con-
    ference. For the boring stats I've been at DEC for 2 1/2 years and
    am currently working in Stow as a Financial Consultant in F.S.

    I'm female and 33.....(just so you can place my responses in

	I've been following this notesfile for quite some time now.  As I enjoy
philosophy a great deal, I have enjoyed many of the discussions in this file.
Interestingly, VIDA V1.0 was a read-only database system; V2.0 will have a write
capability ( assuming I get it to work!  :-)  ).  It occurred to me the other
day that I've been using NOTES in the same fashion I would use VIDA -- as a
read-only facility!  So I've decided to try and start contributing; one problem
I've noticed is that by the time I get around to catching up ( you folks are
incredibly prolific! ), someone else has stated views close enough to my own
that I don't feel warranted in writing my own note.  Well, someday...



	See ya 'round the network!

    I am learning how to note, getting better and actually even
    have work related files.  
    I work in Colorado Springs as a Software Specialist in the
    Networking team.  I love my job.  
    I enjoy noting, I do occasionaly get carried away, but am
    learning to control the urge to babble over the net.  This
    is a facinating Note, alot of interesting stuff being shared.
    Hope this kind of forum stays around forever.
    I'm single, have an 8 year old daughter named PJ, and even
    got brave enough to enter a note in the singles file.
    I am having fun!!!!  and learning alot of different points
    of view.  Thanks, for this chance to learn.

    Hi all,
    
    I'm Rich Whalen.  I'm 28 years old, single, and host/moderator of
    the SINGLES conference on PEANO (hit SELECT/KP7 to add to notebook).
    
    I've been with DEC for over 6 years, and work in Distributed Systems
    Advanced Development.  Right now this means I have a long commute
    from Worcester (where I live) to LKG.  That's supposed to change
    next spring when the project moves to SHRewsbury.

    	I'm 25 and recently undergone some pretty big changes.  I've
    been married 3 months and a home owner for 4 months.  Although I've
    been through a lot lately, I can honestly say I've never had a better
    mental balance and brighter outlook on life.  My main hobby is fixing
    up my 125 house.
    	I'm really glad I've discovered this notes file and am impressed
    with the honesty of the people here.  I look forward to getting
    involved, although I've always been a bit reluctant to express my 
    feelings.  I think I can learn a great deal from all of you.

    Not many of us here in Colorado Springs it seems.  My
    name is Cheryl Thweatt and I've been with DEC for almost
    3 years.  Single, 37 don't feel it or look it...me thinks
    someone made a mistake, live with a kitten named Skunk so
    named because of a white stripe down her back, various
    tropical fish, a parakeet, and a 15 yr. old daughter (God,
    I hope I make it through the next 3 yrs.).  I just put
    an entry in WHOAREYOU...I think it's #744 but not sure.
    

Well ... The stats first:
	With Dec 3 years now, just about all in Ed Services in New
York dealing with VMS.  Age: 25, height: 6'2", available (for what?)

I'm usually interested in anything that's new or different, but left
entirely to my own devices, I would probably lean towards theatre,
movies, bicycling, and museums.  Throw in travel, hopefully to locations
in the warmer climes.

Really love NY! Always has something to do, new or to try out. Gives
the same challange that keeping up with all the notesfiles would.

I hope to have the time to really get into this conference, as I
have recently decided to stop waiting for the perfect woman and will
actvely go out looking for her. (The search is the null process,
which is getting some cpu time finally via priority boosts!) I can
always use some debugging of the I/O routines I use to access ... 
(no, I don't talk like this when I go out!)

Also consider myself a good database about the Big Apple, so if anyone
has questions (you could try NY1MM::NEWYORK) fell free to drop a
line or two.

Just finished these 2000+ notes; you folks sure love to talk!  That's
OK, though, there are too many better subjects to talk about, in my
opinion.

Anyway, my name is Carl Fisher, I'm a Software Engineer II working for
the PDP-11 Languages Group here at Spit Brook in Nashua, NH.  I'm coming
up on 25 years old (in April), and I've recently moved to Lyndeborough,
NH, where I and 6 good friends bought a big post-Victorian house together
and have been enjoying fixing it up.  I like cars, downhill skiing, and
many other dangerous activities.

My noting style, however, I would classify as "conservative", with
occasional lapses into elaborate, pseudoscientific, BS theories (watch
out!)

See you 'round,
Carl

Of course, in the second line of .165 I meant, "there are NOT too many
better subjects to talk about.."!

Humbly yours,
Carl

    Hi.. my name is Steve Lidster and I work in Reading, England.
    
    I have been with DEC for about a year and I work for the European
    Applications Development Group where I support Finance systems in
    Europe. This means I travel quite a lot to various places in Europe.
    
    On the personal side, I have recently seperated from my wife after
    five years of marriage and I have a 4 year old daughter called 
    Charlotte. I live in Guildford in Surrey but I originally came from
    Liverpool. I passed the big 3 zero last July but so far it doesnt
    seem to have had any great detrimental affect !
    
    I was glad to find this notesfile and it has been a help while I
    have been going through my personal situation. Now I have moved
    from reading notes to replying.. I may even progress to writing
    one.
    
    Bye for now,

    Hi!
    
    I've been a reader for awhile & am really enjoying it!  Something
    happened recently (read that yesterday!) that makes me want to enter
    a topic so guess protocol requires that I introduce myself.
    
    I've been with Digital almost 14 years; half of that in New England.
    The rest split between Philadelphia and Dallas.  I was part of Software
    Services, then Engineering, and now US HQ Sales Support (I LOVE
    talking to customers!!!)
    
    I'm single and have an almost teen-age daughter.  She's adopted;
    she first came to live with me as a foster child when she was about
    2 1/2.  Lived with her mother for 5 months around age 3, but has
    been with me ever since!  She's a delight, although abuse and desertion
    at that early age did leave their scars and we're trying to deal
    with those!
    
    In my free time (Digital and daughter don't leave much!) I like
    to play tournament bridge and also love spectator sports (TV or
    in person!)  I swim, play volleyball and tennis VERY infrequently
    and I read when I have a stretch of UNINTERRUPTED time (mostly on
    airplanes!

This is a very interesting conference.  Since I have added some to it, there
should be a place for you to find out what kind of person is saying these
things:

	Name	- Ed Burdick
	Group	- SEG/CAD (semiconductor engineering group, Hudson, Ma)

	Personal - Married 16 years to Andrea, whose family is about as
	different from mine as is possible (well, pretty different).  The
	differences in our families (Protestant/Jewish, working class/business
	owners, intact family/divorced, mayflower English/Fiddler on the Roof
	Russian), though a little tough at first, have merged very nicely to 
	the point that our children (two girls, 8 and 10) seem to be getting 
	the best of both.  We are both native Californians, and we came to 
	New England in July, 1980.

	I am 39, and going through some kind of "midlife crisis" type 
	transition, but I would not call it a real crisis.  Maybe more on that
	in another note later.

	School - BSEE/CS Berkeley, 1970.  Can't get excited about more 
	degrees, but learning is still a lot of fun.

	Work - Moved to DEC in 1980, after 9 years in the semiconductor 
	industry, designing CPU chips.  After spending 4 years on the 8200/
	8300/uVAX-II, I joined the SEG/CAD group, and as a consulting engineer
	on the hardware side, started doing software engineering.  Interesting
	transition, and not as hard as you might think.  I have flopped back
	and forth between management type and individual contributor roles
	for a long time.

	Hotbuttons - 

		Hero worship and the star system in engineering is getting 
		worse and doing a lot of harm.  Too many of us cheat ourselves
		and others by trying to get our place in the sun.

		Hate arrogance, especially in myself (creeps up sometimes,
		and gets in the way of real communication).

		The class system in this country is getting bad enough that
		I worry about my childrens' future in the society of the
		21st century.

    Like .185, I should probably provide some background to the occasional
    contributions here:
    
    Alan Scott, age 37, single, back with DEC around 2 years, also worked
    here for 2 years in the mid-70s.   Work background is software
    engineering and MIS - I currently work for FMIC (Field Manufacturing
    Information Centre) in an MIS technology group. 
    
    I'm originally from the north of England (Carlisle, Cumberland), but
    lived around Glasgow, Scotland, on and off for about 30 years. 

    Interests include modest hill-walking, beer, cinema, work.

Ooops!  Can't believe I've forgotten to sign in here (after sounding off
so much!).  In capsule format:

NAME:	Paul Connelly
AGE:	36
SEX:	M
STATUS:	non-combatant (AKA "still single")
JOB:	Principal S/W Specialist with Merrimack's Computer Services group
NOTES:	this file, plus MENNOTES, plus DEJAVU, plus PHILOSOPHY, plus SF, etc.
PARTY:	libertarian overall, with occasional shifty moves to the right or left
FAITH:	pagan (is this the same as "none of the above"?  well, not quite...)
PEEVES:	people who never question their assumptions or who parrot others' ideas
LIKES:	kind skeptics, critical admirers, science fiction, and poetic history

Good fortune to us all...and Blessed be!

    
    I'm sorry, I forgot to sign too.  I've been an active reader and
    an occasional writer for almost a year now and I never introduced
    myself, how rude.
    
    I am:

    Personal life:
    
    		I am single (again, after 11 years of marriage), and
    		I'm finally beginning to enjoy it some.  I have two
    		little girls, Juli age 7 and Kelley age 3 1/2.  They
    		are my pride and joy and take up most of my time when
    		I'm not here.  
    
    		I have been working at DEC for about 8 years, but less
    		than 1 year as a real DEC employee.  (Which I am very
    		proud of...)
    
    	Well, I apologize for not introducing myself before this.  
    
    
    							Happy Noting!
    

    
    Hi again, folks!
    
    	I'm Marge Davis and I've introduced myself prior to this but
    that was under the guise of Camlot::Davis -- now I'm CSSE::Marge
    but I'm still the same person! :^)
    
    	To recap, single (again), 40 and enjoying life!  Have been noting
    for a couple of years, maybe three... most of the employee interest
    files which I follow go on and off my notebook at whim... this one
    tends to hold my interest as a devoted "people person".

    Reached at CLOSUS::Hoe

    Hi people...
    
    I won't kid ya' (not often anyway)...been with DEC for about a month
    and have found it thoroughly interesting so far. (DEC isn't like
    most big companies is it.)   I'm from Ohio (the heart of America),
    but have lived in Michigan, Delaware, and New York since (still live 
    in N.Y.)  
    
    Spent many a year, and lots of time and energy, trying to get BIG
    companies to do (what I thought were) intelligent things. Never
    tried DEC, but the ones I did approach couldn't bring themselves
    to promise me they wouldn't steal my idea if I told them. So...
    you guessed it, I didn't hand out many ideas.
    
    Anyway, I'm committed to what I'm doing now (Software Consultant,
    Upstate New York District), and hope to do whatever I can to reach
    the 2007 company goal.  'Told these people I'd work for them as
    long as I could tell the truth and still like the guy I see in the
    mirror every morning. Hope to check this conference at least once
    a week.
    
    Speaking of the truth. Now I know you all may find it just a little
    bizarre to think that some nobody from Ohio has figured it all out...
    so I won't tell you anything of the sort.  But if anyone ever asks
    you " is it real ?" or better yet " what does it all mean? "...then
    just tell 'em to contact me. (I'll really confuse 'em.)
    
    I'm the happiest person I know, next to my best friend, who just
    happens to be my wife, and my two kids. (Come to think of it my
    dog, "COSMO" may be happier than me...but I doubt it.)
    
    Particulars:
    
    Name: Terry Wright
    Age:  00100101
    Family: 1 great lady, 2 terrific kids (girl 16; boy 11) 3 cats;
                          and one fun dog (COSMO..the Great Protector)
    Interests:  High Energy and particle physics, relativity, quantum
    	        mechanics, cosmology, music, history, couple of sports,
    	        reality from a long distance perspective, survival of
                living things
    Biggest worry:  If there are extraterrestrials watching us...(or
                    reading our notes files), what must they think about
    		    a civilization so unbalanced (500 million people
                    sleep hungry every night), which I'll call barbaric;
                    and which spends probably 2 thirds of its economic
                    might developing things to end it all with. (Maybe
                    if they are watching us, they are advanced enough
    		    not to stereotype).
    Favorite thought:  The TRUTH is the reality of every moment of time
    that passes, as perceived by all living things capable of perceiving
    the passage of time.  And since we all live on this one little ball,
    each with his/her own reality, but each interacting with the whole
    (therefore establishing reality interfaces), the truth manifests
    itself as the edge of time (no foolin') The truth is ABSOLUTE.
    
    What I pity most:  Greedy people
    What gets my dander up:   Big companies with the resources to do
    nice things (even profitable), but suffer from the NIH syndrome.
    
    Parting thought:  Pain is energy flowing backwards in time.
    
    Grins to all
    T

    Hi!
    
    My name is Christine Rainey and I work in Burlington, MA
    live in Boxboro.  I've been a Deccie for 3 yrs-2 as a 
    coop from Northeastern, 1 as a real(?) employee.  I'm
    new to noting and enjoy reading this conference.  I am 
    very curious about how SEXCETERA ended up dying--anyone
    care to shed light on this for me?
    I'm 23, presently single and looking-also looking to
    eventually transfer to the legal department doing 
    litigation research.  I'm an avid reader of notes, but
    still learning the ins and outs of the network.  Any help
    will be gratefully accepted!!
    
    Hello to Meg Thompson, Terry Bahn and Rick Camacho!
    

Logging in so I can add my thoughts where I feel they belong (although, I 
see a problem with the restriction of not communicating "private convictions or 
philosophies" cited in the corporate policy - bit hard to do in this note).

    Hi.  My name is Betty Allan.  I have been at DEC for a little
    over 7 years.  Am currently Admin Sec for a product management
    group.  Married 24 years; mother of a 23 yr old daughter and a
    21 yr old son, grandmother of identical 4 year old twin girls.
    I am destined to be kept forever young by my offspring!!!!!
    We (the whole family) love sailing.  We have worked our way
    up over the years from a 14' sailboat to a 42' Pearson Ketch.
    
    I am new to notes but have been reading extensively in the Human
    Relations conference which I find very amusing as well as
    interesting.  I am interested in others thoughts/feelings on the
    subject of alcohol and its effect on family as my 21 yr old son
    is having serious problems and I agree that it is a family disease.
    
    Love this conference and will be heard from from time to time.

    Greetings:                               
                                             
    My name is Marty Hill.  I have been with DEC for just a little over 
    one year.  I am a Program Manager in the Federal Systems Area.  The
    newly formed 10th area.  Before coming to DEC, I worked for the
    Federal Govt for 17 years.  Then moved to the private sector working
    for a couple of systems engineering firms.  Finallly, moved to DEC.
                                                             
    Married 24 years, son age 19 in college.  My outside activities
    include:  People, Bike touring, canoe camping, and volksmarching.

MY NAME IS MARIANNE . I NEVER USED " NOTES " BEFORE , AND SO. I' M VERY
    
    CURIOUS  TO GET KNOWN TO YOU ALL (WHO EVER MIGHT ANSWER )
    
    I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT KIND OF TOPICS WILL BE DISCUSSED 
    
      BYE MS
    
    
    

    
    i never did introduce myself...
    so here goes....!
    
    rik
    tired of dealing with primitive subcultures
    
    self-satisified in the secure kowledge that i have thus far
    grown far beyond the AVERAGE wage class 4 college educated
    digital noter.
    
    tried to enlighten them and help them to grow...
    	"when a superior civilization meets a lesser civilization
    	the lesser is absorbed into the superior"

       	"when a superior culture meets a more primitive culture and
    	the primitive culture is performing rituals that are obviously
    	uncivilized and barbaric...*primitives removing the clitoris
    	from all woman*..should the superior culture intervene?"
    	
    	i thought so....so i tried...
    and I know i was successful to some extent!
    perhaps not many replied in the affirmative acknowledgment but
    i did recieve lots of vaxmail from people who said...
    	"you tell em rik!"
    	and things like that...
    of course, i got lots of mail from moderators telling me not
    to insult noters after i insulted some noter (or 30) who
    had just insulted me...
    	did any of you who insulted me (you know who you are) get
    mail from the moderators about that?
    	congratulating you?
    
    	must be nice to have high school cliques in the business world.
    
   so, since dealing with primitive sub-cultures on pagan rituals like
    marriage, divorce, social and political issues...
    is such a bore...
    
    i shan't say...Hi! Here I am!
    i shall say ..(what? no trumpets? no fanfare? no...sorry to see
    you go?)
    
    i'm leaving human relations (the NOTE, silly, not the planet...)
    and i doubt that i'll return soon...
    
    playing house and little childrens games is just not my idea
    of fun.
    	never would have made it as a kiddy teacher....
    you have nothing to offer me except old, primitive opinions
    that i outgrew years ago.......
    	and abuse...
    	
    	of course, i'm not stating that i wasn't abusive in return..
    	i was!
    	but i feel that i only resorted to abuse and insults after
    they had been generously tossed in my direction first....
    
    	i recognize that i've made some enemies
    	and i'm sorry about that.
    	my intent was not to anger you....but to enlighten you...
    	some of you already understood
    	some of you came to understand
    	many of you will probably never understand...
    
    	i wish you well
    	i wish you happiness
    	i wish you growth in all ways....
   	 	
           
   

    I been with Dec for almost 4 years and Married and have two Beautiful
    Children and two Cats and Love them all.....! Just to let everybody
    know that I am here in Germany working with Dec.
    
    Bye Rick,
    

    First, I am not FSLENG::HEFFERN, I do not have access to notes in
    any of my accounts, so I "borrow"
    
    I am:  Cindy Jacques
    Loc:   Woburn,MA
    Live:  Lowell, ma
    
    I presently work (rephrase that: come in...) third shift.  Do not
    work much at all, but that's another story...
    
    I am not real new to Notes but am brand new to this conference.
    I think I should go put myself in wru, can imagine what my number
    will be!
    
    I am single, and will probably stay that way, having a real good
    time with my social life right now.  I play a lot of racquetball
    and that's about it as far as info.  
    
    Love to get mail, it's all I have to do at night.  Hopefully will
    find another job in DEC doing Export Documentation, open to anyone
    who has jobs in that field.
    
    Oh, I'm at DECXPS::CJACQUES,,   I always sign  "cj"  or not at all.
    Borrowing accounts helps to keep anonymity when desired! :-)
    
    

    Well, since much has changed since my last intro, it is gone and
    this is a new one.
    
    re: WHOAREYOU 450.2 (is it still there ?? ).
    
    Bob Early, AKA Bob_the_hiker has gone through several "metamorphic"
    changes since I started out in the "mill" (even before they began
    numbering the floors and buildings).

    Hi - 
    
    I'm an outside temp  (I think you call us 'tags'???) here in Marlboro.
    Just got my own node address last week.
    
    I've been reading this file since August - but don't know how much
    longer I'll be here.  It's been very enjoyable so far, thanks to
    all for opinions, lessons, etc.

    Since I've been writing here for a while, I guess I feel I should
    finally, formally, introduce myself. (Actually, I've lost track
    of the Conferences in which I have - and haven't - provided an
    intro, and I checked in H_R and noticed I had not, so....).

    Used to read/write in SOAPBOX, but reading through nnnnn Notes to
    finally find the 1 or 2 that are worthwhile my effort has (temporarily?) 
    jaded me on that Conference.

    Hi, I'm a temp at HL0 waiting for an offer I can't refuse.  I'm
    trying to catch up on the notes so I may never have time to reply.
    It's interesting how some people take offense to things that seem
    so honest and straight forward, and I have taken offense at comments
    that do not seem to bother anyone at all.  I guess that's what Human
    Relations is all about.  I feel like I'm getting to know some of
    you (I also feel kind of like a peeping tom!!!)
    
    Basic Stats:
    
    Occupation: Nothing to brag about (yet).
    Home (is where the heart is): Now Worcester, MA, formerly Owensboro,
    KY.
    Marital condition: Single, (with no urge to change) but involved
    Mental condition: good, with an occasional lapse of self-pity
    
    I'm looking forward to joining in on these notes, if I ever catch
    up to the rest of you!

E gadz..I've discovered my original entry is almost 2 years old and way
out of date, so here I go again.

Name:		      Jenna
Job:	 	      pseudo Software Engineer (JEC is supposed to give me
	 	      job title and description that will actually describe
		      what I really do).
Job Location: 	      Salem (NIO) NH
Home:	      	      Burlington, VT but I live Derry, NH
Political beliefs:    no
Religious beliefs:    Cruel shoes should be outlawed
Personal beliefs:     I believe I'm not drinking enough
Meaning of life:      Life is what happens when you're busy making other
    		      plans
    

    Gee, .-1 reminded me how far out of date *my* introduction is
    
    anyway, current info:
    
    Elizabeth Younger
    Software Engineer II, Subsystems Quality Assurance.
    
    Interests haven't really changed.  They still include people, hacking,
    hiking, cooking, gardening, philosophy and religion, although my
    philosophies and religion are far from conventional.
    
    I still like this file.  Change marital status to attached as well.
    
    So, let's see.  Different name, different marital status, most other
    things are the same...
    
    Elizabeth
    

    I've been reading for a week and finally gave in, set seen before
    jan 1, and will start to participate.  If I repeat something you've
    all talked about before, forgive me.
    
    I am:	Sherry Litasi
    		Sr. Prog. Analyst, MIS
    		Colorado Springs
    		age 37
    
    Marital status: limbo...married almost 17 years and in the process
                    of calling it quits.  Have a well-adjusted 11 1/2
                    yr old daughter who thinks we are happy now that
                    we decided to split.
    
    Comments:  I am finding the notes in this file extremely interesting
               and helpful.  I only wish I had discovered this conference
               sooner.  As one of you said many notes ago, "When the
               student is ready, the right teacher comes along" (or so I 
               paraphrase).  I'm ready to learn.

        I have been with Dec for only 6 months but I am having
        fun!
        I love to run, but I like to eat even more!!!!

    I've been reading this conference for a while, so now that I've
    entered a note, I'd better introduce myself......

    Hi everyone,
    
    My name is Denise Theil and I work in Media Communications here
    in Merrimack as a Dept. Coord.  
    
    I am definetly a native N.Y'er but I do like it here in N.E.
    I recently got engaged to my S.O. back on Long Island and 
    we are planning a July 1st wedding next year.  
    
    Love this file,
    
    Denise
    

    I put in a reply, so I'll sign in.
    
    Age 40, married about 8 months, one kid under construction, due
    in December.
    I've been with DEC almost 19 years (egad!), mostly as a millrat.
    I started off testing PDP-8 and PDP-12 software, moved on to
    programming PDP-8s, moved on to programming PDP-11s, got tired
    of programming and became a technical writer.
    Interests include metalworking, home repairs, and reading (mostly
    non-fiction).
    I've been through all kinds of old-age and new-age therapy, some
    of which I think actually helped.  I feel pretty good about life, 
    and about me.  Which is quite a change from how I felt about 12
    years ago.  Back then I felt, as my therapist would say, "Lower
    than dog shit."  I may share some of what's happened, as time goes
    on, with the rest of you.  Life is an interesting experience.

    In search of new and different ways to waste time ....
    
    Single, living alone and loving it, no cats but I aspire to a pair
    someday; with Digital 1.5 years in software support.

    Hi everyone ...
    
    	I have been reading a few notes recently, and thought that I
    ought to 'log' in too..

    username:    HUXTABLE

    Professionally:  I've been with Digital since October 1987 (7
    months already!) working on an Ada project for a customer in
    the Great Plains district.  The work and the people are lots
    of fun.  Of course, *any* programmer who's learning a new
    language finds it fun!  Before here I worked as a programmer
    for an avionics company for five years. 

    Personally:  I've been living with/married to my best friend
    since May 1983.  We don't have kids or a TV :) or cats :(.
    We jokingly claim that the *real* sign of commitment in our
    relationship occurred when we decided to merge our book
    collections, several months after our wedding.  At the moment
    we've had to build stacks in the library because we've run
    out of wall space.  I like to read science fiction and
    fantasy, and have recently been branching out into
    feminist-related non-fiction, some of which is fascinating
    and some dreadfully boring.

    My current personal name is from an SF story that I found
    passing fair--but I really loved the title.  Not having the
    golden ability to turn a pretty phrase, I borrow. 

    I expect (hope) to be able to keep my fingers away from the
    keyboard long enough to read for a while before writing.

    I've been at DEC for just shy of 11 years now; took a contract job
    at the Piper Rd. plant (ACO) in the summer of '77 in between school
    semesters as a data entry clerk.  When they offered me a permanent
    job with what felt like an enormous starting wage, I thought to
    myself, "Hey, I'll just work for a year, get some bread together
    and then go back to school."  Famous last words. . .
    
    After ten years objective time (six lifetimes subjective time) in
    Manufacturing Materials, I switched over to Personnel in the same
    plant.  In real life, I'm a rock musician.

    I've been reading/writing/replying to notes for only a couple months
    now.  I'm active in this file, WOMANNOTES, DEC_SECRETARY, and peek
    into MENNOTES, DAVE_BARRY and various other notesfiles occasionally.
    
    I'm 25, engaged to marry my best friend (Peter),  have two cats
    (Kimba and Kelli) and a cocker spaniel (Tasha).  
    
    That about covers it!  I really enjoy this notesfile and appreciate

       I've been separated from my husband for just under a year and
       after a winter of hiding in the computer room I decided it was
       time to pick up the pieces and get on with my life. I am addicted
       to notes in a big way as they remind me of my college days when
       my friends (male and female) would sit around till late at night
       discussing all the same topics we cover here.


       I'm loud,emotional and passionate about the things I care about.
       Ask anyone that's been in a meeting with me! If you're in CXO-03
       you can usually find me by following the laughter. liesl

    I am Nancy Brennan and I work for Westfield Digital for 12 years.
    Starting in the Machine Shop, I have worked hard and now working
    @ the Incoming Inspection Department for Vendor Products.  I am
    an active member of a Gay/Lesbian Support Group here in Westfield
    and due to Leadership Programs, it appears that the population at
    WFO are becoming more aware and are responding with Friendship and
    Support.
    
    I am a beginner at the notes file, but would love to hear from anyone
    out there.  I have two German Shepards which have me totally trained
    and a beautiful white cat named "Muffin".
    
    Away from the Trivia and hopefully into some intelligent conferences.

    Hi, all:
    
    I'll introduce myself here:

    Hello- I've been dipping into and out of H-R for months and since
    I finally entered a reply...duty to intro calls.
    
    I'm Doug Olson, I'm a Software Specialist way out on the Left Coast,
    based in Santa Clara (south end of the silicon valley).  I've been
    with DEC for almost 6 months, after doing 4 years as an Air Force
    officer.  Right now I'm doing that software thing for a cusomer
    at NASA Ames Research Center on a one-year contract.  My noting
    habits are not settled down yet, but you may see me in Wines, Books,
    Womannotes, Mennotes, Defense_issues, and Objectivism, outside the
    technical files.  Oh, lest I forget, I'm Duke of the Silicon_Valley
    POETS and its Friday night, so See Ya.

Okay, okay,  I'll  parse  that  for  the  non  mysterious  viewers!  I'm Jay
(actually  JAGADEESAN) (AIAG::) GANAPATHI. 

Now that's two mouthfuls (which is why we from the Land of Mysterers use 
a short notation:-)

I work  as a Software Engineer for the AI Applications Group in Marlboro and
have  worked for Digital (same group) for almost 3.5 years. I've known about
this conference ever since I put it in my notebook, but didn't really browse
till  I  found  out  about  the  party on Sept 17., from a friend. I read the
SINGLES conference a lot and have seen references to this conference. 

I like  the issues that I see being discussed here, and hope to be in here a
lot in the future. 

BTW, this introduction is a first for me  in a non-technical notesfile!

	   Well, I've been reading H_R for some time now, and have
	dabbled in a few notes.  I think I'm going to be 'dabbling'
	more and more, so I figure I better formally introduce myself
	(or informally, as the case may be! :-)  ).

	  My name is Amy, and I'm a software engineer at the Mill.
	I've been with DEC for a little over a year now, after graduating
	from Tufts University.

	  I'd have to say my interests are pretty diverse - I love music,
	and the arts, as well as sports, books and lots of other things.  
	I love to laugh, and I'm trying to get the most I can from life.
    	I've learned a lot about myself over the past year, and finally
    	feel good about who I am, and what I'm doing.  I think this file, 
    	and the people in it are really terrific - lots of support,
	advice, and various opinions.  Just from reading for a while, I 
    	feel like I already know some of you (that and descriptions
	from a friend who does probably helps too! :-)  ).

	  I've also starting reading WOMANOTES and MENNOTES so you may see 
    	me there too.
    	
      	  Feel free to drop me a note anytime - I love mail almost as much
	as NOTES ( sometimes more)!

	-Amy-
    

    
    Hi,
    
        I thought since I entered a reply that I should introduce myself.
    My name is bob and I have been reading H_R for about a year and
    a half. Don't asked me what prompted me to enter a reply after a
    year and a half because I don't know. Maybe it is the full moon.
    
        I have been with DEC for just over 2 years. I work in Littleton
    Ma. as a CAD engineer. We just went through a project cancellation
    and a re-org, what an experience that was. I just began my new job
    under the the re-org and I am very happy with it.
    
        I am into all different things, a list too long for here. I
    love anything to do with the summer and I am sorry to see another
    one go. I'll take hot, hazy, and humid over sub-zero temperatures any
    day. I tend to be a little bit of an instigator, but never mean
    any harm by it.
    
    
    			- bob -
        

    Hi,
    
    	I guess it's about time I introduce myself,  I have already
    entered several notes in here and nobody knows who I am (a few
    do).  
    	
    	Well, my name is Bill, I work from 6pm to 2am as a computer
    operator in Marlboro.  I also go to school during the day at the
    University of Lowell.  I'm majoring in Applied Physics and Studio
    Art (Double Major).  As you would guess from my being in school
    still I'm only 21.  (Although I really could have been any age,
    some people in my classes are 50+).  I have worked at DEC only since
    July.  Actually, I was here 84-85 working in Hudson on Co-Op for
    high school but that was a while ago.
    
    	That's about it,  I also read MENNOTES, WOMENNOTES and SINGLES
    (and a few others) in case you are wondering.  If you want to send
    MAIL I'm on XCELR8::AKINS( if you don't want to use MCIS2)

    Hi,
         My name is Bob and I've really enjoyed reading H_R for some
    the past few months.  I'm a Sr. P/A at Dec Direct in Nashua and
    have been with DEC about a year and a half.
    
         The topics here are terrific!!  It's good hear about experiences
    that others have had, it can be a real learning experience.  I hope
    to be responding to topics in the future.  I'm always willing to
    receive mail from anyone and would enjoy corresponding with anyone
    on all topics.  I'm looking forward to making friends over the notes
    network and in person.
    
    Keep smiling..    :-)

    and a noter even longer (temped here while still in school).
    
    I think this notes file is terrific!  In the last few months I've
    had alot of questions about relationships (see 198.42).  A sampling
    of people's opinions can really help bring a question into perspecive.
    It's great for a reality check!
    
    
    See you in the notes!

       Hi,
           I've been reading this notes file for a couple of weeks.
       Some of the topics being discuss are things I have been crashing
       around with myself for the last two years. It will probably take
       a few more weeks to get involved in the discussions, but when I
       do, here is who I am;

                  I am in the process of ending a 14 yrs+ marriage
                  I have two children
       
           Likes: Discussions on how and why people do what they do,
                  coaching basketball, flying gliders, playing chess
       
           Dislikes:
                  Having discussions (?) with people who keep saying 
                  the same thing only LOUDER.

	I've been with Digital a little over 6 years now.  I started with 
	RSX Development at Spit Brook as an engineer (I thought they'd 
	let me play with trains).  Three years ago I realized that I'd
	been in Boston for too long (born and bred) and needed a change
	in life, so I moved to Colorado.  I've now found a second home.
	I miss my city, however I love the mountains, so I try giving
	myself adequate doses of each.

	I met Steve at the party out here on Saturday, tried his mousse 
	and started reading this conference in the hope of finding the 
	recipe.  I guess I have a lot of replies to go through still :^)

	Of all the beauty and uniqueness of life, I feel its most 
	rewarding and interesting aspect is our 'human relations'.  
	I enjoy being with other people, having fun, talking, laughing,
	experiencing this beautiful state and generally just sharing 
	life.  

	I'm soon to be 30 and feel that "something wonderful is going
	to happen".  Last time I felt this way I moved to Colorado, and
	the time before that I went to Europe.  I enjoy riding my motorcycle, 
	listening to music (with a definite soft spot for jazz) and dancing.
	Most recently I am learning to defy the laws of gravity in a small 
	airplane, which is a definite rush.

	In deference to another discussion in here, I often feel a little
	boy in a big world (I like apple picking but only if I can hang out
	in the trees).  This side of me is finally comfortable with the 
	reality of the man and there is a definite mutual respect.

	People make life experiences so much more rewarding, and I'm really 
	glad to have found this conference.

        Hello...
        I'am Christopher
        ULTRIX Consultant
        @FHO1
        I started with DEC in January 1989.
        I thought that after having spent some time reading
        about most of you that the polite thing to do would
        be to introduce myself...
        I collect art by Nagel, I love MOZART and I try my 
        very best to maintain my appearance, some say I
        overdue it...but I feel better in Cerruti's
    
        Being new to both the DEC and NOTES, I ask you to be
        paitent ...
    
        Looking forward to hearing from you ...
    
        Ciao,

    20 Years + with DEC (OLD LCG Engineer)
    Interested in setting up a ANFSQ7 notes conference and NOTES in
    general.
    

    I'm David Wittenberg, sometimes called Witt, but please don't call
    me  Dave.  I work in the Secure Systems group in Boxboro in formal
    verification.

    Outside of  work,  I hike, bicycle, sail, go to theatre, read, and
    work on my house (in no particular order).

    I've been noting in woman notes for a couple of years, and started
    to wonder how the other half notes, so here I am.

    retirement.  (: >,)

    the screen, dudes!)  ;)  or Kim Apodaca @WRA
    
    I like this note cause it is one of the few that has yet to suffer
    from NoterNotoriety, aka rude and obnoxious, froth at the mouth
    noters, and yet still discuss potential controversial and emotional
    issues.  Here's to hopefully keeping it that way and in my notesbook.

    Sorry to write without first introducing myself.
    
    I'm Donald Reinke I work in Software Manufacturing in Westminster. I
    don't note much -- I leave that to my wife, Bonnie.  (I've been called
    Mr. Bonnie Reinke in one notes file.)  I've been at DEC since 1971 and
    on planet Earth since 1944.  (Don't know why I said that last, but it
    happens to be true.) 
    
    I suppose my distinguishing feature in Valuing Differences NOTES is a
    penchant for writing from the perspective of a Christian who's very
    much into so-called "New-Age" thinking.  I am in addition a father
    of 5 and a musician.

	I thought I'd take the time to introduce myself.

	My name is John Wing and I work in Concord, Mass. in the
	Corporate Employee Communication group.  I work on LIVE WIRE
	and DECWORLD.

	I am mostly read only in this conference, but I'll reply from
	time to time when the mood grabs me.  :)

	Just thought I'd say hello.  Hello!

	--> :) John <--

    I am Mark Levesque, a hardware engineer in networks and communications
    advanced development @LKG in Littleton, Ma.
    
    I have recently started to note here. It occurred to me that I hadn't
    yet introduced myself. I note in several other conferences (as some of
    you know).
    
    There are some interesting subject in here that seem to be neglected in
    my other major haunts, ie SOAPBOX and Womannotes.
    
     The Doctah

    It has just occurred to me that I have never put an introduction into
    this file.
    
    My name is Holly Taylor.  I am a secretary here in Westford for the
    Desktop Systems group.
    
    I started noting in here about 6 months ago.  Although I am basically a
    read only, but I will voice my opinion when I feel it is needed (or
    when I can relate to something).  Many of you know me from other files
    (Friends, Feline, etc.).  
    
    As the wonderful Doctah said, there are a lot of interesting subjects
    in this file.  I enjoy it a lot and look forward to a lot more.
    
    Holly
    

    
    Suppose it's my turn now.
    
    Hi, my name is Francesca Holloway (fran for short) 
    I work at Queens House in Reading in the Central Telemarketing Group
    Been with DEC 10 months, and been noting for 6 of them.
    I'm usually read only, but do contribute when I get the urge.
    
    I can also be found in =wn= , FRIENDS, FELINE and EURO_WOMAN, where
    some of you may now me from. I have had my fair share of problems
    and I know many of you have helped me with these in other NOTES.
    
    Hope to make some good, less depressing, observations in this file.
    
    Oh yea, I'm 22, single but living with my fiancee and due to be
    married July 28th 1990, boy am I excited!
    
    Bye for now
    
    Fran.

    Software Technical Writer
    CUP/ASG, working for SEG/CAD in Hudson, Mass.
    CADSYS::PSMITH
    
    I've been with DEC for 2 1/2 years and like the company's philosophy
    about its people very much.  I'm currently investigating the field of
    human factors engineering -- if you know of any good graduate programs,
    let me know!  I'm fascinated by human-computer interfaces and how they
    can affect productivity.  (All of which has little to do with writing
    manuals on CAD tools for chip design...!)
    
    Outside of work, I live in Brookline close to the pulse of the big
    city. I love to read (esp. psychological science fiction and mysteries,
    although I've recently read a slew of eighteenth-century novels for
    some reason) and love to sing.  I'm in a 12-woman a cappella group
    called the Copley Cats.  Movies are a great hobby as well.
    
    I look forward to reading more in this notesfile -- seems like a nice
    group of people!  I'm mostly read-only but do write when I think I have
    something to offer.

    I've been a "reader-only" for a long while but just resently started
    entering notes so I thought I should introduce myself. I'm Debbie Joy,
    age 34, divorced many years, no children. I've worked for DEC about 5.5 
    years, the last 4 back here in Mass. I currently work in Acton for GIA as a
    network consultant for SWS. This allows me to "see the world" which is
    good because I enjoy travelling a great deal. Before living here I lived
    in Phoenix for 9 years and hope to move back to the warm weather
    someday. My parents live out there so its a good (cheap) place for a 
    vacation. I enjoy reading, cooking, seeing movies, exploring New
    England and as I said before, travelling.

    Hi
    
    I'm Brian Foley a long time "reader only". I've been tempted to
    write in in the past, but my wisdom is is like a sapling among
    Redwoods here. I've enjoyed reading, and I can say I've applied
    some of the offerings here to my daily life and some is just fun
    reading.

    Up till now I have been a reader only, let me introduce myself:

    Lets see, this is at least the second round into HR for me, or maybe
    the third or the fourth. (The wonders of COOP).  I managed to stay out
    of it for my first year full time, but as you can see....

    I used to be a hard-core human relations addict, but I've only been in
    notes a couple times since January.  Now I'm back with a new last name
    (my maiden name, though I got married, too), and becoming addicted
    again.  I've been with Digital for over 5 years.  Was a software
    specialist at the Customer Support Center, but now am a system manager
    (since February), here in Colorado Springs.

    Ohno, Paula, they got you too? system management is like herpes, you
    are never rid of it. I've just started job number 3 that wasn't
    supposed to be a system management job and what's the first words I
    hear? "btw, we could use a system manager and since you've already
    done it..." sigh, liesl

    But Liesl, I *LIKE* system management!!  I may even *love* system
    management.  (Have I been brainwashed??)  Maybe it's the environment -
    the users here don't have SETPRV.

Hi, I'm Scott Lutz.  I've been a read-only member of this conference since 
January this year.  

Like many other folks (I gather), I stepped in here for wisdom and experience
to refer to while recovering from troubled times.  In my case, it was a broken 
engagement.  :-(  Reading the problems and advice here helped to put things in 
perspective.  (I thought *I* had troubles!  :-)  Now I'm at the point where 
it's all like combat experience.  ("How can you tell if it's actually combat 
or if it's only combat experience?"  "If you survive, it's combat experience.")

These days I read HR from interest, curiosity, and still to catch some wisdom.
Most of the people here are helpful and thoughtful, though I *don't* always 
agree with their opinions.  :)  The discussions are certainly interesting!
I shall probably be more vocal now that I have -- gasp! -- revealed myself, 
but I doubt if I'll contribute heavily.

I also show up from time to time in the notesfiles on Comics, FRP, and SF.  

And I'll probably invite myself to the party at Steve's, just to meet all
the people that I've been listening to all this time.

Well, since I've broken my silence and actually entered a note (gasp, shock, 
horror!) I thought I'd introduce myself. I only found out about HR notes a
few weeks ago and have been reading through old notes ever since.

My name's Hugh Thomas and I'm a software engineer in NaC, Sydney, Australia.
I'm 31 and have worked at DEC for about 2 1/2 years. 

More details in WHOAREYOU #1045 if anyone's interested.

Can also be found in MOVIE/TV notes among others.

Hugh.

	My name is Andy Lee, and I've been (mostly) read-only in this file for	
	several months now, so I figure it's probably about time for me to
	sign in (even though I've been falling behind recently -- you figure
	it out).  I work in the Technical Systems Group in Marlboro, currently
	developing the 2nd generation of a testing system for the Rigel and 
	Mariah cpu boards.  Some of you may know me from a few other 
	notesfiles, and if not, well, there it is.

Reckon it's time for another in the continuing series of updates. Since last
time I got married to another deccie, bought a housething in Goffstown, NH,
got a new job as a release engineer in the Image Systems Group in MK02, 
and bought a new pair of sneakers. Still don't have a job title that fits so 
I'm still a Software Eng.

            Well if even the Doctah can bring himself to enter an intro,
            I guess it's about time I did :-).

            A thought on human relations that I've had more than a few
            times --

            ... If only human relations could procede as logically and
            predictably as state diagrams ... or if only when problems
            (relating to yourself or others) arise they could be solved
            by simply applying logic without having to factor in complex
            emotions and irrational feelings...

            Nah...that would be too easy (and boring, right :-)?)  But
            it certainly would lower the exasperation level I feel
            (mostly in understanding myself; sometimes in dealing with
            others).

            Something strange and unusual about myself I've not
            mentioned in other notes intros...

            I was an extra in the movie Jaws 3-D, filmed at Sea World in
            Orlando, along with some others on my high school swim team.
            I am _somewhere_ in the beach scene and near the shark tank.
            My claim to fame from the whole experience is knowing the
            guy that whispers "Get out of the water, asshole!"

            (and if you're curious about anything else, in WomanNotes-v2
            2.193 I wrote a [very] long intro.)

Last Friday this note appeared in the conference and caused some concern 
because of the way it was worded.  We did the appropriate things and discovered
that the rik sawyer we all know and love (well some of us anyway) has left 
Digital and gone on to bigger and better things.  I for one wish him luck and
happiness...but sure wish he could have been a little more conventional in
his goodbyes.

    I work in NH, live in MA. I've been with Digital as an illustrator since
    October of '86. Usually R.O.M. (Read Only Mode), but occasionally find
    the time/energy/something of value to say/ to write a reply.
    
    A very interesting conference.

    	My turn to sign in.  Been with DEC since 75, all in 36-bit land.
    I work in Marlboro, live in the charming New England town of Westboro
    where I am doing my best to raise 4 great kids (19, 15, 12, and 8).
    Two are now away at school.  Will be married 20 years next month.
    Interests include soccer (still coaching), chess (especially by mail),
    Boy Scouts (trip to Philmont next August), and keeping the house and
    cars together!  Don't get me started talking about public schools,
    the military, or Alaska!
    
    I'm always smiling on the inside!

Monday I start a new job down in CT dealing with those mythical creatures known
as customers.  In fact I will be spending the majority of my time at customer
sites.

Needless to say, I won't have much time for NOTES.  I will miss you all, and I
will think of you while I am far out in the hinderlands of DEC.  Those who want
to, can keep in touch by MAIL to YODA::BARANSKI, until I find out what other
network address I will have.

This will be a number of major changes in my life, turning it mostly upside
down.  There are a lot of unknowns and fears about moving to a new area, new job
new people and everything.  But sometimes there's nothing you can do about the
fears, except face them... and hope for the best.  I've reached the point that
I've stopped thinking about it much, because it's all worry.  I'm sure that this
is something that I want to do, but there's a lot of unknowns that I don't feel
that I have any control over.  Also, this is the first time that I've moved that
I didn't 'have' to.  It's easier to stay in a comfortable rut, or be pushed
along by events; it's harder for me to decide what I want in the midst of so
many possibilities, be sure of that decision, and work toward a set goal.

Take Care, All,
Jim.

    
    Hi, 
    
         I'm Glen Johnson, Call Screening Specialist(or CRR as it used
    to be known as) with the RDG in Colorado Springs(cxo).  I'm 22 and 
    have been with DEC for 2 years, and I'm single.  My noting activity
    has become quite limited, since I now work an afterhours shift and 
    am working toward my CS degree.  I am in read mode(not read/only)
    most of the time, but I will have something to say here and there.
    
    
         Happy noting!

Hello,

	I am Trevor. I live in Reading (Berkshire,UK not Mass.!). I just
happened across this notes file and have read a few words.
	I am 36 and live alone, by choice. I have many friends.

	I spend much of my spare time with people, I have just started
working with/listening to some folk with HIV.

	I belive in a strange four letter word which I am not ashamed to say:

	Love.

	Hope I can add something to this sometimes...

	Trevor

    Another sign in, I'm Ad Vissers, I work for the Central Response
    Group in Holland. I've been read-only in this file for a couple
    of months, always appreciated much of the responses here and though
    I don't think I'll have much to add to most of the discussions I
    might pop in every once in a while.
    
    I'm 31, single, and my two cats Omar and Chanel allow me to live
    with them if I behave. Likes: a good chat anytime, music, going
    out, staying at home, photography, noting, reading and a good film.
    Dislikes: having to get up early, shouting matches, getting too
    serious without lightening up at times.
    
    Mostly found in more lighthearted conferences and a few serious
    ones - as of today sometimes here.

	That is to say, I'm painfully shy at meeting people, and am my own

	Its been helpful to read the notes that go "I was in X situation

	here responds.
	
"status":	single again, after 3 years in a pretty good relationship
hobbies:	oh, the usual hiking and XC skiiing, fixing things, working

    I've been reading this file for a few weeks now, and I'm very much
    impressed with the noters - people who CARE for each other so much;
    I truly wish I could meet every one of you in person.

    Guess it's time to sign in here.  I'm trying to re-introduce myself to
    Noting, and am trying to become active in Womannotes.  So here goes for
    Human Relations.
    
    My name is Barbara Welch.  I used to work in Marlbor at GIA, but came
    to Franklin (FXO) in May of this year.  The difference in driving 52
    miles round trip and 10 is like night and day.
    
    I am a widow, 54 years old and live in the town of Norfolk which is the
    next town East of Franklin.  I live alone with my three cats in a small
    apartment on the edge of a beautiful little lake in Norfolk and am very
    fortunate to live there as it is very country and very relaxing. 
    
    I am a Secretary for the ASIC Center which is a Design and Applications
    Engineering Group here in Franklin.  I have never done any work with
    Engineers before, and it does take some getting used to.  I am enjoying
    it immensely though, and the people I am working with are terrific.
    
    I'm going to try harder not to be just "Read Only" as I was before in 
    Marlboro.  Participation adds much to one's knowledge, and increases
    the circle of friends we all want and need so much.
    
    So, Hi, and it's going to be nice to be part of this File....
    
    Barb

    
    HI!  I've been reading the file for a while, and I guess it's
    time to sign in!  My name is Candy Olesen, and I've been working
    as a secretary for a group of engineers for over a year now.  First
    at TTB (Nashua), and now at NUO (Nashua) - our group seems to move
    around a lot!  I think this conference is great, and am looking forward
    to reading it some more!
    

    Hallo!
    My name is Elke, I'm from Austria, Vienna. I'm 27 and single. Since I know
    how to use notes I've been reading around in Human_Relations and I've
    learnt a great deal out of it. 
    I'm working as secretary for the Sales Eastern Europe Division since I
    started with Digital, and that was 4 months ago.
    It helped me a lot to see that I'm not alone with my problems, to see
    that others share them.
    This conference will always exist in may directory.
    
     
    

    Hello again folks,  I'm Skip "Back from the Grave" and have
    successfully Completed my Trek across the U.S. at last... Training is 
    finished at MKO and I've now taken up permanent residence at NUO as 
    their new shipping/receiver II.  (Hi Cathy!)  Anyhow... I'm on a new 
    node but otherwise still the same sweet loveable (?) guy I've always
    been.  Now if I can just get caught up with all those unseens since 
    the end of October..... yuck!
    
    BTW.. for those who don't know me I have just relocated from the
    Silicon Valley in California (Santa Clara).  
    
    For those who do know me ... bet you thought you were gonna be rid of
    me at last... welp I got news for y'all....
    
      I'm back!
    ;-)
    Skip

    Hi all,
    
    Since I entered a reply guess I better sign in too and get rid of
    the mystery status... or at least begin to ;-).  Hee hee.
    
    Anyway, I live in Northboro, work at MR03 in a Training & Development
    group, (if you could call 2 people a group :-)) and pretty much 'grew
    up'at DEC.  I started here in 1973, at age 19, left in '83 for 5 years 
    to see the world outside of DEC sorta speak, got scared, (just kidding) 
    and returned 2 years ago. 
    
    Although I had a 'promising' career in business systems analysis, by the
    time I returned to DEC in '88 I made a transition to human resource 
    development and it was the best move I made - for it's where my heart 
    and life purpose lies.
    
    I note occasionally in DEJAVU and CHRISTIAN-PERSPECTIVE and am one of
    the co-mods in "C-P".  My interests are varied, but I particularly enjoy
    drumming and dancing, a good cup of cappuccino, the Celtics, and my 
    life orientation is aligned more with the spirituality of native peoples 
    than with anything else.  If I were to apply a 'label' I would call 
    myself a "Creation Spiritualist", if you are familiar with the works 
    of the 'renegade' Dominican Priest, Matthew Fox. :-)
    
    I see a lot of familiar node-faces here :-) and I'm looking forward to 
    meeting more of you and gettin' down wi' y'all.
    
    later,

    ...quit it, Karen!!  you're hurting my arm!!
    
    After some arm twisting by Karen, I'm signing in...(does this sound like a
    victim or martyr?  ;-)  )
    
    My name is WARD_FR...(no, okay, it's Frederick Ward...)
    I am in Santa Clara, California, in WR03-1, where SKIP HOGGE used
    to roam...
    
    I don't think I will be overly active here...just an ocassional note or
    so.  My qualifications nor my job don't matter to responding in here,
    so I won't list them.  Anyway, I guess this makes me official or
    something...

    Not a mystery  - just a marriage - name change from Brenda Luckhurst to
    Brenda Hawkins!

I'm Steve Lionel, your friendly (sometimes) local host-moderator.  On
Friday, June 7, I married Leslie Richardson, whom I met through this very
notes conference two years before.  Leslie and I live in Nashua, NH with my son 
Tom, currently 7-1/2, and our cat Moet.

At this time of writing, I'm 36, 6'4", have light blond hair (please speak
slowly, I'm a natural blond) and blue eyes.

This is my thirteenth year at DEC; I'm currently a Principal Software Engineer
for the VAX FORTRAN development group at the ZKO facility in Nashua.  I'm also 
host-moderator of three other notes conferences as well as co-moderator of 
many (too many, sometimes) more.

P.S.  While preparing this entry, I happened to scan through the list of
earlier introductions - I was delighted to see so many names of people I later
got to meet in person, some of whom became good friends.  This conference is
now over five years old, and I've hosted it here on QUARK almost all its life.
It's given me a lot of pleasure over the years, and I hope for many more.

    Ok, since I have stuck my toes in here, I might as well introduce
    myself. :-)   Karen Kennedy, signing in from Seattle, the prettiest
    city on earth, IMHO of course! :-) 
    
    This is a very thought provoking file and I have learned alot from it. 
    I look forward to being an active member.
    
    Karen

Just found this note, looks interesting and maybe contains answers to some of
life's little problems. For the time being, I am looking at various topics to see
what is applicable to me and maybe toss in my 2 cents worth when required.

With DEC now about 8 years in various rolls, currently in the subsidiary
operations, Toronto, Canada. Started with DEC as an CS engineer fixing DECsystem
10's and 20's before getting into mis-management, then onto the region.

Problems, yup, just like a handful of others, divorced, disillusioned,
searching, finding, confused, lost, well that about covers it.


John Akermanis @TRO

just recently joined in here, after having this file recommended in addition to the 
couple others I read regularly........hopefully, once I get more familiar with the
goings-on here, I'll have a few questions of my own on "human relations" !!!!

Been with DEC for 10-1/2 years (give or take a month or two :-)) ; outside of DEC (yes,
I have learned that there IS life outside of DEC but it took me a while !! :-} ), I
have an almost 7-year old son, two dogs (just got the new puppy a couple weeks ago)
and just became an official HOME OWNER.  Looking forward to doing some remodeling in
the not-too-distant future.

Work in Marlboro (MRO1-2) and live in Leominster.

Looking forward to reading AND writing here,
Debbi J

Signing in, a little late.. but I've been an avid reader of this conference for
a while.  You all have some interesting and wonderful opinions, and thats 
what makes the world go around.  Human relations?? probably one of the most 
challenging but rewarding activity to do.  Me?  Still learning.... and won't 
stop...  

Been with Dec since 1987 and currently work in MLO.  I've been in information 
systems all my career.  I'm divorced with two kids.

    This conference helped me a lot to see things from another angle. Until
    now I was only reading, but want to provide my opinion in the future.

Haven't had time to read other intros and come up with an appropriate one, but
if I see an intro topic, I try to say something before I write in a conference.

Bob

Bob,was that a hint or am I just feeling guilty? 

I've been with dec about 1 1/2 yrs, live in sunny California, work as an
Administrative Secretary, and just recently tuned in to this conference.

Laura

No hint.  I don't like acting like a hit-and-run noter.  I try to read a
conference to get an idea of the atmosphere before I jump in and open my
mouth.  I just don't have the time to do that right now.

Hi,

My name is Dianne Archey. I'm 23 and kinda single!  I work as a Project Support
Specialist for New Zealand's Application Development Centre, in Christchurch.  
Yes, there are actually a few Digit's in New Zealand.  I'm not actually a 'real'
Digit but am posing as one!  I have been working here on a contract basis since
November last year, hope to be here for a few more months.

I have been reading this conference for about a month now.  I am so glad that I
found it, as I am having a few problems too.  You have all given me food for 
thought,  I hope to be able to continue to read and hopefully contribute now and
again to this conference.

If anyone wants to send me mail try CCAD39::ARCHEY, I've never had any overseas
VAXmail before.

Don't be surprised if the next intro note you read is from my neighbour, she is
waiting for me to finish this, to see what I've written.  she's too scared to put
a note into this before me! 


Regards
Di

:-)   Keep smiling

Well after that last entry, I suppose I'm honour bound to sign in now.

    Carla, non capisco "Precipitevolissimevolmente"?
    
       - Larry Stefani
         Stateside Italian

Larry, 

Precipitevolissimevolmente means very hurriedly, in a great rush. 

There is a proverb that says:


"Chi troppo in alto sale, cade sovente precipitevolissimevolmente"
                     
                               =

"The higher you climb the faster you fall" 



byeee!
Carla.
