Short and Bittersweet
Woo:
1) Zach and I officially have a place to live in Corvallis! It's 70s ghettofabulous and of course pictures will be taken. Zach's dad is getting us a 25lb bag of oatmeal and a 5lb tub of peanut butter as a house warming gift. Feel free to take his lead.
2) Mikey, my soon-to-be new manager is giving me the first week of September off for settling in. Unfortunately this means missing a week of pay, but...
3) ...I've pulled some crazy overtime this month and it won't matter!
4) So once the new route starts, I'll have a more normal routine (read: NOT working 5am-6pm) AND I'm getting a raise AND there will be a Zach to come home to every night. SCORE!
Boo:
1) All this work is making me nutty. Because I've been putting so much effort into wrapping things up, I've put off things like sleeping and eating. Today I actually took a lunch break for the first time in weeks and got Chinese food. The one good thing about this arrangement is that that food tasted AMAZING and I'm fairly certain by others' standards it was only "heavily salted and mediocre." YUM.
2) I'm REALLY sad about leaving my current boss and coworkers. See previous posts. The upside is that Mark is planning a joint Portland/Eugene Christmas party. Yes, I'm taking full credit for this, ha. And I guess Mikey is alright...hell, he called yesterday and offered to come up to Corvallis with some of the guys to help me move in. He's no Mark, but he'll do.
3) I have yet to pack anything and probably won't get around to it till Thursday night. And there is someone moving into this room on Friday. EEK! However, I have few things and nothing but time after work on Thursday.
4) I'm terrible at writing "boos" that are entirely negative. DAMN YOU, SILVER LINING!
