1297.0. "He's BACK!" by AKAMAI::GREG (If idiots had wings, this place would be an airport) Thu Dec 31 1992 21:36

    Well for those of you who were in on BAGELS at the begining (5000 years
    ago) or was at DEC by 90 might remember me. Just got back in to DEC
    after a leave of absence spent at the University of Hawaii on a
    neutrino astrophysics experiment. Am still in Hawaii (thank G*d), so to
    the old timers "shalom" and to the new ones, "here's looking for some
    interesting topics from you". Happy 1993!

1297.1are you mad or what?FROZEN::CHERSONthe door goes on the rightMon Jan 04 1993 22:259
    Boy, you are a glutton for punishment! (ezah fryar!...)  Coming back
    into the maelstrom takes courage mon frere.  At least you have a
    pleasant climate and surroundings this time...jealous!
    
    Controversial topics?  What's your opinion on abortion? (:-) Just
    kidding!
    
    Aloha,

Shalom Greg,

Ma nishma?  I was wondering when you were going to stop your water born
frivolity and get back to work  8^{).  Is HEP letting you stay in Hawaii
or are you going back to Switzerland or are you not doing HEP stuff any
more?

1297.5Short news bulletinAKAMAI::GREGIf idiots had wings, this place would be an airportWed Jan 06 1993 10:0712
Ahhh Gavriel, long time no hear from you. Well yes, and without going into a
lot of detail, I'm supposed to be on relocation here and I'm working on a
project for the Swedish Navy in collaboration with the folks over at
Oceanography, continuing with the neutrino astrophysics experiment as well as a
medical project. So keep quite busy. Also spent quite some time aboard ship,
the latest one a US Navy vessel was quite interesting as we tested mating
water-tight electrical connectors at -4800 meters working with pressures of
roughly 8000psi from a manned submersible; well until the manipulator arms died
on us. Anyway if any of you are interested in deep sea oceanographic stuff just
send me mail and I'll try and fill you in. Mail at either akamai::greg or
decwrl::"[email protected]". BTW is our charming lady friend still
around with her cat? We used to have such great discusions with her...
1297.6GOOEY::GVRIEL::SCHOELLERCalendars & Notepads R meWed Jan 06 1993 18:324
To the last question, yes.  But not for long.  WSL is closing and I believe
that she is leaving DEC when that happens.

Gav
1297.7Will there be anyone leftAKAMAI::GREGIf idiots had wings, this place would be an airportWed Jan 06 1993 20:462
    All of WSL is closing???????
    
1297.8OXNARD::KOLLINGKaren/Sweetie/Holly/Little Bit Ca.Wed Jan 06 1993 21:232
    Yes, WSL is going down the tubes on Feb. 5th, along with TRI/ADD.
    
1297.9AKAMAI::GREGIf idiots had wings, this place would be an airportThu Jan 07 1993 20:423
    Hi Karen!
      Sorry to hear that. Does that mean WRL is also packing up? Hope you
    have somewhere to go!
1297.10OXNARD::KOLLINGKaren/Sweetie/Holly/Little Bit Ca.Thu Jan 07 1993 22:5910
    No, WRL is safe.  There were humongeous rumors that the local research
    groups were going to be hit, but they all survived.
    
    I'm talking to some local Dec places, but it's unclear if they will be
    able to hire.  Fortunately, the local job market seems to be pretty
    good, at least for senior people;  I have a number of "second interviews"
    set up over the next couple of weeks.  I'm just about ready to retire
    and grow tomatoes after the chaos of first WSE and then WSL getting hit,
    however.  (I know you'll miss me :-)
    
1297.11Hope it will work out for youAKAMAI::GREGIf idiots had wings, this place would be an airportFri Jan 08 1993 08:5819

I heard that.

We will all miss you if you go. You've provided us with some challenges
throughout the years, hope that we have also managed to paint a more balanced
picture than you had initially.

Anyway good luck in whatever you choose to do!

1297.12SCHOOL::SIMONCuriosier and curiosier...Fri Jan 08 1993 22:544
Hi, Greg and welcome back!  Something is really fishy here:  First Mike
Mahler came back to DEC, then you. :-)

Leo
1297.13Leave not leaveAKAMAI::GREGIf idiots had wings, this place would be an airportSat Jan 09 1993 02:274
    Hi Leo! Mahler is back as well? They're really letting anybody in these
    days! Well I didn't really leave, I was on a Leave of Absence...

Motti was hired back as a contractor.  With the degree to which contracting has
been cut back, it is entirely possible that he is gone again.  He certainly has
not been active in here.

Gav
1297.15me too...FROZEN::CHERSONthe door goes on the rightTue Jan 12 1993 02:226
    re: -1
    
    Well I haven't been as active as I used to be also, and you should hope that
    I don't have time on my hands for "casual noting"...
    
    /d.c.
1297.16AKAMAI::GREGMy god, it's full of stars...Thu Jan 14 1993 14:195
    it's amazing, since they started the cutbacks people have actually
    found time to work! 8^)
     hope /d.c you will never be so busy that you won't have time to
    contribute...after all BAGELS has NEVER been CASUAL noting ;-}
