Some say the world will end with fire.

Others say with ice.

From what I've tasted of desire

I hold with those that favor fire.

But if I had to perish twice,

I think I know enough of hate,

To say that for destruction ice,

Is also great and would suffice.

ANOTHER WEEK CLOSER

This has been a tough week for me. I spent three days in a environmental audit of two projects we have completed in the past two years. I really enjoyed getting to see the projects but I HATED doing the evaluations for the projects. Both projects turned out extremely well as far as I am concerned, but in the review we found little things (that in my opinion really don't matter) that either we had not said anything about or what we said we were going to do wasn't what we ended up doing.

Anyway to make a long story short this past week is a re-affirmation of my decision to retire. I have seen the future of the Agency and I have chosen not to be a participant. I have said it a thousand times that "today is somebody's good old days - It just isn't mine." TRUER WORDS WERE NEVER SPAKE.

sorry you've had a bad week, but like you said at least you'll be retiring soon and won't have to deal with bureaucracy any more - hope you have a good weekend!
