May Lee was downsized from HP, where she had worked for over 30 years.
After a valuable conversation, she decided to pivot entirely and take a seasonal job in Antarctica.
She can't wait to return to Antarctica for her second job.
This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with May Lee, a 59-year-old seasonal worker in Antarctica and former marketing and communications manager at HP. It has been edited for length and clarity.
I joined Hewlett-Packard in 1987 as a software engineer intern. As a graduate, I wanted to sign on for life with a good company that I knew I could be loyal to and would be as loyal as a company could be.

Aug 19 (Reuters) - Lyntris' shares fell 11.4% in the defense contractor's New York debut on Wednesday, giving the company a valuation of $1.78 billion and underscoring investor caution toward new listings.
Shares of the company opened at $15.5 each, below the initial public offering price of $17.50 apiece.
The Falls Church, Virginia-based company and some of its existing shareholders downsized the IPO to 17 million shares on Tuesday and raised $297.5 million, after the company and its shareholders had initially marketed 24 million shares at $19 to $22 apiece.
The company sold about 5.7 million shares in the IPO, more than its earlier proposal of about 4.9 million shares, while existing shareholders cut their offering by more than 7.8 million shares.
The U.S. IPO market has rebounded strongly in recent months, bringing startups across sectors to the public markets. However, investors remain selective.

We love Donald Trump. A promise made, a promise delivered. Closed borders, deportation of illegal aliens, inflation down, small business, large business influx, bureaucracy being downsized, common sense restored. The news is all good and hope has been restored! Donald Yrump
