It isn't that it's a small world, but that there is a lot of movement in the field and core teams will often move from one start-up to another after the first is sold or IPO's.<br /><br />DH nearly always has someone working for him who worked for him at another company. Good working relationships, good friendships, trust and efficiency.<br /><br />I hope your friends all find positions quickly.<br /><br />Most of my knitting is duty knitting. Always has been, and I'm comfortable with that. I do like to work in a bit of fun now and then, a bit of improvisational lace or an engineering challenge of some sort, but I'm a finisher so really prefer to have projects already spoken for and deadlines set before I even cast on. I really like the idea of knitting for fun, but I'm not good at it!beadlizardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03345991066699824794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29550002.post-51169783821483422602010-05-16T21:14:11.243-04:002010-05-16T21:14:11.243-04:00I bet it was an odd feeling, but maybe those old c...I bet it was an odd feeling, but maybe those old colleagues seeing you in a new place of growth and excitement was helpful for their outlooks. <br /><br />Beautiful twist on the Lizard Ridge.<br /><br />I agree: Cast on as much as you want, whenever you want, as long as it feels good!livnletlrnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12775338896726624220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29550002.post-71154320733578431392010-05-16T20:51:41.585-04:002010-05-16T20:51:41.585-04:00Yay for knitting!

Last week I momentarily thought about making a pair of socks I'm working on into a gift, due on Tuesday. Almost instantly the same project went from pleasant to being a chore. Who needs that in a hobby? I'm going to buy a gift and enjoy knitting the socks in my own sweet time.Sel and Poivrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05675373771037014713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29550002.post-448363199395708192010-05-16T16:40:11.757-04:002010-05-16T16:40:11.757-04:00I bet it was weird seeing old colleagues all hunti...I bet it was weird seeing old colleagues all hunting jobs - the whole world seems to be going through this kind of thing.<br /><br />As far as the knitting goes - I absolutely agree that you can have multiple WIPs without being a bad person. Particularly if you do tend to get back to them later. Knitting should make you happy - and for me that means that I have different projects for different moods. Go for it!Anne Campbellhttp://knitterlyanne.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
