That's good.

Too bad.  But, at least you are able to get another job not in the
high-tech sector...

Noelle is hating her job.  I, so far, like my job -- 'though I don't feel
very social with my co-workers.  Although I'm much older than they, more
than that, I think it's more of their outlook and philosophy with which I
differ and which makes it more difficult to get closer.  It's strange.  At
my workplace, there's a fascade of mellowness and laidbackedness, but
really I think they are tense competitive type-A people who cannot relax.

I guess I generally feel closer to people who are either in academia or
aren't workaholics.

No, we haven't, 'though I think Noelle still keeps in touch with her.
Perhaps we'll see her on one of our trips to Noelle's dad's house in Santa
Barbara.
