<p>Esteemed Colleagues:</p>

<p>I had a new experience today. After 18 years of being a part-time
contract technician at SMU in Dallas, I spent my first day as a
full-time employee. (It's been 30 years since I've had a real <em>job!</em>)
I don't suppose there is a really significant difference except for now
getting benefits....and vacation, paid holidays etc. It really is
quite remarkable how much paperwork has to be done to accomplish
something like this in a large organization. As of today it's done. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>It actually felt really good!</p>
