Update on Work

So my technology area that I examine has just changed.  I will now be working on batteries and fuel cells.  I still have some printer toner cases, but from here on out, I will be doing the batteries.  It is not horribly exciting as this is the second time that I have changed technologies, and there is always a learning curve.  But alas, there were too many people examining printer toners and as a result a lot of us had to get moved.

In better news I have been accepted into the hoteling program.  Which is the program that will allow me to work from home.  I will take the training for this in June, and at about the second week of June on I will be working from home.  

The plan when Rachel and I move (looking more like it will be Newport News, think I will still be able to get people to visit me when I live down by Virginia Beach?) to just work from home down there.  The trick is I will still probably have to drive in to DC about once every couple of weeks.  But there is a program that will allow me to move down there and not have to come into the office as often, but it is a very small number of examiners that can do that, and there is a list.  So hopefully I'll be able to do that after not too long.  But in the short term I'll still be having to drive up every couple of weeks after we move down there.

An Article

We were asked to be interviewed for an article for our kempo school.

Here it is

I haven't read it.  Because.... well I don't know probably because I"m a wimp.  But I figured I'd point you guys in the right direction.
