Woo-hoo!!

Permanent!

So I just got good news. Boss called me into his office to let me know that the top cahuna just provided the last siggy on my papers, and I am officially permanent! The Office Manager made sure he let me know just as soon as THEY knew, cuz she knew I’d feel much better leaving tomorrow. She really does have my back. :)

He said they couldn’t quite pull a raise in the middle of the fiscal year, but they’ll really try for one at the beginning of the next one in July. Who knows if that’ll ever happen, but I’m all kinds of excited just to be guaranteed a job next month. :)


Spillin it

Plus, when I went into Mom’s office to share the good news, we startin talking about how this will be a good place to stay while we’re still in Misery. I took that opportunity to tell her I’ve been thinking of movin back to San Diego… but I also told her about all the issues I’ve been considering, and how I intend to fully weigh the pros and cons… especially while I’m there this month to get a good feel for the place. As I thought, she supports any decision I make, so long as I don’t “go into it half-cocked”. *grin* She just wants to make sure I don’t find myself unprepared in a bad situation. But I think I’ve sufficiently assured her that I have a decent financial gameplan that will be the only way I’ll go through with the idea.

Decisions

I can appreciate her concern. She and Pop have been balancing a few options of their own recently, about where they’re gonna go and what they’re gonna do. She’s seriously considering Canada… she’s kinda fed up with our political system at the moment… lol Hopefully, once the friggin cutthroat elections are done with and things smooth down, she’ll be a li’l more forgiving.

Leaving Early?

Amway, my friend just asked me what I’m going to do to celebrate. Not sure I have many options, but I may take off a li’l early today… get the rest of my packing and stuff done so I can kick back and watch the West Wing premiere. And sit with my cat. :)

I’m just in all kinds of a good mood… An excellent way to be sent off on vacation. I really do indulge in fussing entirely too much. *grin*
