I haven't changed careers in the 3 days since I last answered the question on here.......

I still own and run a management consulting firm handling business transformation and similar projects. I also do some writing, speaking and teaching on project management related topics.

They turn the reactor down Driver8. So air temps are at 59oC. It normaly runs ar 700oC plus. They remove the carbon dioxide, flush it with fresh air so i can breath in there. I wear a special 5 layer suit that is air cooled. Been off about 4 months now. Going back in 2weeks. Will miss forum :(
