So. That work thing.

Since I'm officially short-timing now, I can get away with a bit more blatant goofing off than I did previously, but I do have a few things I need to finish up, or at least get to decent stopping points. The spraying I'm doing today, for instance (which is why I'm here today), and some research projects I had started on for the Higher Up's. Little chance of me finishing the taxonomy project, that's too time intensive, but I can try to leave it at a point where my replacement can pick it up and finish.

I'd dead-ass tired this morning, because I was just too excited to sleep last night, and so I'm running on about 3 1/2 hrs sleep, but I'm excited enough to not care. I don't expect that to last the whole day, though.

At some point today, I've got to see if the paperwork to finalize this deal is over in the SCI department, or in HR. Do that, then do my formal written 2 week's notice. (YAY!!!) The guys in the shop are all very happy for me ("at least one of us is getting out"), and even New Boss seems fairly positive about it. (But I've been a thorn in his side for a while, so he may be happy to see me go. At first. Until he realizes how many planting maps exist only in my head.)

What else went on this weekend? Helped Star move, which went really fast, and she fed us pizza, which also went really fast :) Only got three bruises from the move, one on my leg from carrying a set of shelves up the stairs, and I think the two on my arms came from trying to get that durn sofa turned around. The stairs at that complex were very narrow.

By dug out some of his old garb, and that plus a shirt made a decent set of go-to-renfest garb for Tristan. Need to remember to pick up dye for the shirt on the way home tonight. And grommets.

Oh, Cammie, before I forget: the earrings were perfect. They were EXACTLY the shades of turquoise in the pearls I wore, and I got compliments on them. Thank you again. For that and the pep talks.

I suppose I ought to go work a little this morning. But only a little :)

To all of my Very Patient friends...

...who've been telling me "it'll work out fine" for the past three weeks:

You were right.

Thanks for putting up with me.

Incrimental progress

Got my formal, written resignation form turned in after lunch; the rest of the paperwork went from the science dept office to HR about the same time.

Actually did work this afternoon--spraying lespedeza on the prairie. For two hours. While wearing a long-sleeved shirt and long rubber gloves. **blech** I think I'm melting. I'm hiding in the greenhouse and rehydrating and generally cooling off.

Mustn't forget the grocery run after work. I'm spacy enough to need reminders.
