[Work has been busy, but productive, so that's good.  I made a bit of a breakthrough that's going to be the focus of my next paper I think, which will help me finish by June.

So I'll be around, maybe a bit less, but still around :)

I am fortunate to have a home office where I can do most of my office work (and an awesome staff that do great self-directed work in the office and lab.)  I have three monitors on my work station.  I often have a SCADA control screen on one, writing a report or doing research on the middle monitor with streaming radio in the background, and surfing the boards on the third.   The 21st century way cooler than I ever imagined it would be…
I can get a lot done from home too, but I have no staff to do anything for me ;D

Learning to take my hands off of the controls and trust my staff was the toughest part of being in business.  Best lesson I ever learned though.

Oh, I'm totally ready to have people implement my ideas and do experiments for me ;D  There just isn't budget to hire a helper for me.
