860.0. "Goodbye! from James and Russell" by DUCK::BUSHNELLJ (LastDay = 777600 Secs and counting...) Tue Jun 25 1991 17:35


Well, I'm going to be leaving on Friday 5th July (Friday week) and I just 
wanted to say goodbye to y'all.

I've been with Digital since January 1989 on the YT Scheme (It sounds a bit 
better than YTS ;^) and due to the current job Market, there's no job for 
me here! So off I go into the _Real_ World.
I have to say that I'll miss Digital a great deal. It's a great company 
even with all it's present troubles. 

Most of all, I'll miss my Workstation and Notes! Two things that I'll only 
ever get again if I come back to work for Digital.

That brings me to the next point...Where am I going next?

Well, for the next three months I'm doing whatever comes my way, and if 
nothing does, I'll do some charity work.
So if anyone out there knows of some work (_anything_ at all) that they 
need someone to do for three months starting about now then mail me 
quick!!! (I'm also on (7)899 5412)

Thanks to my YTS, I will shortly have a BTEC National Certificate in 
Computer Studies.
As long as I pull another two Merits out of the bag, I'm going to Bradford 
University to do a Computer Science degree in October.
I need one distinction and all the rest merits to secure my conditional 
offer (I already have the distinction and one merit so far - just waiting 
on the results).
If DECollege come up with the goods (�'s) on my sponsorship, I'll be back 
in a few years on an industrial placement.

Well, I have a lot to be grateful to Digital (that is, the People of 
Digital) for. I consider this placement to be the best decision I ever made 
as there is no way I would be where I am today without it.

That's about it. Best of luck to you all. May you get a pay rise greater 
than 0%!!!

I hope to see/note/speak to/next unseen  you again, and may your
collections swell to ridiculous proportions!

    Best of luck, being a placement student is something to look forward
    to, there are some fun courses to go on.

    from there ;-)

    James,
    	  I hope you don't mind me tagging on to your Goodbye note but I'll
    save disk space this way!!
    
    
    UK_MUSIC noters,
    		   I'm off to do a computer science degree too, I'm going
    to Brighton and I'm leaving Digital on Friday.  I've really enjoyed
    this conference even though I've never got a "first liner" other than
    the weddoes (cos I'm their greatest fan) and even then I wasn't quick
    enough to reply.
    
    Good luck to you all, Matty, the offer of my vocal tallent is still
    open if you fancy starting out in Brighton.  Tim, hope to see you
    around Brighton some time and thanks for the info.
    
    Thank you all for coming...."Oh why do you catch my eye then, turn
    way?".......
    
    Russell.

    Russell, if you want to sing at my forthcoming Brighton gig ;-), you'll
    have to send me your address, or number, or put a big white flag near
    where you live!
