It's Time for Me To Flyeeeeyyy

Yesterday, while out to lunch with Joe, I had what might end up being another wee milestone on this journey out. Here's an excerpt from an email that I just sent off to Michael Stevenson, a good friend and TTVN student worker who is in Russia for the summer:

Things here proceed toward their ultimate ends, as usual =]. I've finally listed my house on the market about a week ago. So, as soon as that biotch sells, I'll be out of here! No 'bites' yet, but it's too early expect that, really. I've also been contemplating just when to give my two-weeks notice here. Just yesterday, Joe and I were talking about it when he said something like, "...and sometimes you have just had enough, and have to get out at all costs." As I thought about that, I began to lean towards making my last day of work to be the last day of this month. THAT means that this coming Thursday is the day that I'd give notice. And THAT is just a bit freaky to think about! Of course, I'm hesitant to officially cut off my main source of income without knowing that I have someone lined up to buy the house. So, that's making me lean back in the other direction.

I just looked at the work calendar and noticed that Rod and Wayne will be out travelling all next week, except for Friday. I'd been thinking, recently, of letting a lot of co-workers know that I'm going before I make it Official with Ken. But if I want to do that, I either have to do it via email (a bad idea... leaving 'physical' evidence) or postpone resigning by a few days. Not that postponing is a big deal - especially since the earlier I do this, the more I'm putting myself out on a limb.

So, the saga sags on...
