March 1997
Another exciting look back at events of my life in 1997 as told in my journal:
March 2, 1997, Salem: "I took a walk this morning around the Willows... read the paper... now this... I've decided to accept the job offer from MKS Instruments in Andover for the position of Manufacturing Engineer. I also got an offer from ametek Aerospace in Wilmington for Test equipment Engineer but I'm taking the other one for a lot of different reasons... but I guess the main reason is that I think I'd like the job responsibilities of Mfg Engineer better than Test equipment Engineer which is a little more narrowly focused... So I'll be giving my notice to my sucker boss tomorrow. Michelle K and her fiancé Dean came for a visit last night... I cooked the lasagne this time (a rare occurrence, but F was busy)... We went out to see a movie and sat around a bit..."
March 8, 1997, Salem: "They cloned a sheep in Scotland a few days ago (or at least it was announced a few days ago). That's a first for mammals..."
March 15, 1997, Salem: "Yesterday was my last day at Teradyne. Woo hoo! Monday will be my first day at MKS Instruments... Doh! On Thursday, the people I supervised (2nd shift Test Dept.) took me out to a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown... That was really nice... And so ends 4 1/2 years on 2nd shift... I'm looking forward to the change in hours, and change in job... It's time... It'll be nice to be home in the evenings with F... It might be tough getting used to getting up early, tho... We'll see..."
