Well, it’s done. I feel pretty good, too!
Came in like I planned, put the letter in the boxes of the executive director, personnel specialist and my supervisor. Rumor has it the personnel specialist RAN down the hall to her boss. <hee hee>
My supervisor came in and sat down. She BS’d with me for about an [...]
Today’s the day. I have my letter printed, signed and copied. I’ve put them in envelopes with the appropriate name on each. I will be delivering them when I walk in. Which, I may note, is at least 25 minutes before anyone else makes it in.
My immediate supervisor finally told me she is mad at [...]
Well, the wait is partially over. My immediate supervisor knows.
I had to tell her yesterday, but have not submitted the written resignation. She was beginning to task me with projects for August and I had to stop her and close the dooor.
Two hours I was in there like that.
She got upset, but mostly with the [...]
Wow! I’m getting more excited as each day passes!
I met with my “mentor” yesterday evening. We discussed a few of the details regarding what he wanted to achieve and how I would work to help him.
I will shadow him for several days in August, while I study for the certification exam. Once I pass the [...]

It wasn’t a vacation if I didn’t come back so sunburned that you couldn’t see any eyebrows [...]
Ok, time for a quick update on the employment issue. Not that you really care, but it helps me focus.
If you recall Redzepplin commented on my earlier post:
…consider yourself lucky that you have the freedom to fly at your heart’s content. That’s a luxury not many share…
I took exception to that because I’m not leaving [...]
This is a passage, attributed to the great Red Skelton, defining the Pledge of Allegiance to a group of elementary students. As this is the eve of Independence Day 2007 in the United States I want to post it for your consideration.
“I’ve been listening to you boys and girls recite the Pledge of Allegiance all [...]
Playing off the “Time for me to fly” title of my previous post, I want to take just a minute to note a couple things that have appeared on the horizon since I “publicly” stated my intent to find another employer.
I was having a conversation last night and checked on the retirement plans of an [...]
