Dear Colleagues,
I have decided to take a buyout offer and early retirement from the USGS,
so today (Friday, April 28) is my last day at this job. I enjoyed research
on Cenozoic mollusks of the Arctic and North Pacific for 15 years in Menlo
Park,  California, which is not so bad out of 21 years here. The Survey is
not willing to fund the kind of work I do, so research in this organization
is increasingly frustrated by the well-fed bureaucrats and is becoming less
fun by the day. It is time for me to leave, at the tender age of 51, and
get into some other part of life where happiness with work is still
possible.

Those of you who are not in the USGS will have to guess at the rot that has
infested this organizational. We inmates are too familiar with it. I wanted
to be a paleontologist at age 8; I wanted to be a USGS paleontologist by
the time I entered college; I landed a job with this then-wonderous Survey
in 1975; I was lucky enough to make a career of tramping around the Arctic;
I made scientific contributions that will last a while; and now I feel so
relieved to be escaping this sick place. The Survey's decline is so sad.

I will unsubscribe from PaleoNet for now, but I'll be back once I get an
e-mial/Internet hookup at home.

Bye for now,

Louie Marincovich
