The Great Move
Dec. 4th, 2007 07:40 pmH'okay.
So-o. I give notice at work this Friday. The icing on the shit-tastic cake was being taken off emails because one of the email supervisors has apparently a mad hate on for me because I told her her training sucked. (It does. The boy and I have had to retrain half their trainees so that other people can follow what the hell they're doing and they're not just tossing off things willy nilly. All you people who have ever emailed customer service and said "My widget arrived broken." and gotten an email that said "Your doo-dad return was processed on X date"? Yeah, those are her trainees you're getting. Fucking morons.) ANYway. So, yeah. Giving notice on Friday. And then. Um.
The current plan is to pack up here and move a bunch of stuff down January 10th ish. Stay for a couple of days. The boy can hang around the town and see what it's like. I can get a PO box to forward my mail to and maybe set up a bank account. Look around the store, see if anything's changed, maybe pick up some apartment rental guides. Or a newspaper. Or all of the above. I'm not sure if I'll move down there permanently then or at the end of January. And I'm vacillating between being terrified out of my mind and being excited about the whole thing. Where's a Don't Panic icon when you need one.
( To do before I leave )
Also worthy of note to all you out there in LJ land with whom I RP: This is a day job. A normal day job. With no computer access. Or rather, limited computer access and I'll be running around the store half the time anyway. So, most likely? Between the hours of 8 and 6-7 ish EST (I think? Gah, it's sad, I don't even remember what time zone I'd be in.) I will not be online. Why yes, this will suck monkey nuts, most likely. I will try to get up earlier in the morning? And I will have weekends. Actual weekends. Not weird fake one day or middle of the week weekends.
Right. And, um. The rest of this day will be devoted to panicking. Tomorrow, I set up a more specific day to day schedule, including panic time and veg out with TV and/or movie and/or kitty and book time. Also bookmarking this page so I can go back to my schedule.
