That's it. I'm through.

The day was hard - Jonathan and I had some last minute deployments, orientations, and even some boxing of legacy machines to do. There was paperwork, agreements that these machines have actually been deployed, everyone agrees on the counts, the sign-offs completed. Then - gone. Again, everyone disperses around the country, the project officially closes...

...and the job ends.

Unemployed again, waiting for another project. Or another job.

With the team that we had for this project, even though it wasn't smooth sailing, I'd do it again. Maybe I can later this year - there is one project and potentially a second project later this year with different organizations on the base (one's with the Marines and the other the Naval Hospital). I don't know if we can wait that long without a steady income.

We'll just have to see.

Oh, the picture? Long story... We used to walk across the street to a fast food place for lunch a that had a machine that dispensed Happy Bunny stickers. I don't know why, but we got hooked on the stupid things. We used them as inside jokes, and we just had a crazy time with them.

I happened to see some little statuettes of some of the characters at a Sam Goody record store at Woodfield and felt this was the perfect goodbye gift for Juliet. She loved them so much, that she used them to give out to everyone (which I think was great). The picture is of the one we always said was her's: Let's focus on me.

Anyway, in case you didn't know, I'm a very emotional guy. Saying goodbye is really difficult for me... and I couldn't do it. I miss all of these people and I'm so friggin' sad that I'm not going to see them again...
