My old company is hiring me back into a different group. This is what I was hoping would happen. My first day back will be October 15th, so I can really enjoy my time between now and then. The last month, though one could look at it as a paid vacation, has been incredibally stressful. I’m psyched. ---

Thanks for all the good wishes, everyone. I can’t believe how much better I feel compared to yesterday; it’s a real weight off my shoulders. Now I won’t be such a mope at the next DopeFest. 😃
