[Histonet] Retirement

[Reilly, Laurie]

Tropical Australia might be a great place for a Histo commune. Please hurry with the organising, I'm out of here in 4-6 years and a very wise social worker once told me that you have to retire 'to' something not 'from' something. 
Here in Townsville we are in the middle of our "winter". Minimum overnight about 10C and during the day we have clear blue sunny skies and maximum of mid 20s. We have to put up with that for another 3 months yet. The disadvantage is that it probably won't rain until Christmas and then we get rain by the bucketful.
But 300 sunny days a year is good.

Sorry, I don't have any jobs to offer. We just employed another Histo scientist, one of my students returned from 7 years in private path. Great. Now I have time to read the Histonet.

Regards,    Laurie.

Cup holders on the microtomes since all of us are of the age where we use to have our coffee cups on top of our 'tomes.

Bill,

I am about the same age as you are and would like the same type of locale. Since there are so many of us in this field due to retire in the next 15-18 years maybe we should consider investing in a Histotech Retirement Community. Specimens could be shipped to us for processing and staining. We could set up microtome stations in the common area and we could get together and talk and cut at the same time and do it in a wonderful climate with nice views and of course....at our own pace which will be relaxed and more of a shuffle that a full out sprint. Anyone have any suggestions for naming such a paradise?

Ok...I'm just getting old and it is Friday..so hope you appreciate my humor.

Have a good weekend everyone!

 OK, I know it is Friday, and I know that this may sound like a bit of a
joke....but.... I am 15-18 years out from retirement and my wife and I
want to retire someplace tropical.... And it would be smart to get
settled in such a location. So, if anyone knows of any openings in
Hawaii, Virgin Islands, St. Thomas, Puerto Rico for an experienced HT
(ASCP) QIHC .... PLEASE let me know. Would be open to others, but would
prefer a US territory. I can be reached at bill <@t> deaconbill.com
