3 weeks - Leaving June 18th for Colorado Springs!
11 years ago
To clear confusion, 2 and I have not moved to Colorado yet.
We are pretty much packed up, everything is in boxes. We have rented a nice moving truck with car carrier for the Mustang. 2 has done all of the packing while I was at work, even found a decent place in the northern area of CS.
I've learned a very valuable lesson at work. no matter how much you care for the company you work for... no matter how important you are... no matter how much you want to make the transition for your co-workers easy... NEVER give more than 2 weeks notice.
I've been subjected to a pretty miserable final 2 months. They removed me from most of my departments, placed me in technical support as a trainer. They also blindly spout "I know you've checked out mentally, but you are still working here, I expect your best" problem is, I am giving my best and exceeding performance expectations, my boss is just a moron who is running on auto-pilot.
Speaking of which, I have 2 solid job offers. One is pending a face to face and some field time (not a problem) the other is pending an offer as far as pay goes on his part and clarification of what he means by (management with option to purchase company) seems a bit too good to be true.
Not long now. My last day of work is the 13th, I pick up my check on the 16th. going to spend that time making sure all loose ends are tied up and getting prepped for the endurance run of 1k miles in a single shot. I've done 2400 miles in a single shot but I will NEVER repeat that experience again.
Should arrive on Friday if all goes well, possibly Saturday. will need time to get situated. Then... we explore!
Great fun ahead for me and 2.

There is a place in Denver that sells pizza by the pound. O_O they ahve a 15 pounder O_O
I'll make some popcorn. we can place bets on how long it takes to get the inevitable "uh, you know all that research you did, where are the notes? do you know how we can fix this?" email.
I wont be responding to any that I get. :P
Good to hear that everything is ready to go and move! How is 2 doing anyway? Have not heard from him in ages it seems.
How's a puppeh?
Hope to see both of you at RMFC this year and as per previous posts, if you should happen to wander through Southern AZ on your way to Colorado (not the most direct route I know..) I can put you guys up in a very nice hotel and would be more than happy to squire you about town.
