Jersey, we are go

[jon_chaisson]

In the next few weeks I have to (in semi-order):

--pack clothes n' stuff
--go on vacation (all week w/emmalyon, of course...)
--collect all my writing and pack it up
--debate whether or not to bring my vast amounts of tunage or just a portion of it
--try to remember to fill out all the change-of-address forms that need to be filled out
--work for a few more weeks
--give my two weeks' notice
--pack for NJ
--say sayonara to YC
--so long, b'bye Inkspot, been nice knowin' ya

ADDITION: I forgot to add that my friend Bruce wants to jam one more time before I go. I really hope I can do that! :) JEB ROOLZ! :D

Someone please kick me in the ass and get me going. I'm quite far behind on readying myself on this as it is...

I think I'm going to be in town on Sunday, visiting my folks. I'll have the General in tow so I won't be able to get away but if you wanted to come up I'd love to see you.

Also, if you need anyobdy to hold onto your vast amounts of tunage...you know, just for a little while :)

Actually, he's going to be in NJ by then, at least that's the current plan.

Hmmm...seems like a pretty fine list as it is. Why do you need a kick? The only thing that might assist with the kicking is puttin' down some actual DATES.

You seem to have tentative ones, such as "give two week's notice" and so on...but do you have a WHEN that starts?

Maybe plan for this to happen the moment you get back from your 1) vacation with Emm? (Not sure what's happening in your schedule). Like the day before the vacation is your last "just-planning" day. The Day after the vacation, you start a-packin' and arrangin'...physically. It's a good landmark!

It's good to have mental-preparedness before a change, but don't let it dissolve into eternal mental-preparedness. By the way, you will never be READY, (humans never are) so just accept that and give yourself time to mentally understand what you're doing, then ACT!

2) Choose when you are going to give notice. GIVE notice.

(That DOES a lot. Your workplace will constantly reinforce the "I'm moving" part. The fact that you will soon no longer have a place of employment is also a "move-it, buster". Use those 2 weeks well!

I'm going to stop there because my alter ego "Big Sister" is starting to surface and I'm sure you can do everything yourself. (grin)

As one Aquarian to another, our sign often does things that are avant guarde and daring. Many other signs wouldn't do these things...won't have the guts! You do! Take pride in that!

So, when can we expect you to have a New Jersey address? :D

Woah...I've GOT to apologize. I seem to be in problem-solving mode tonight!

My friend Carrot called me up just to vent about her work and I ended up on this going-to-be-long diatribe about what she should say and...finally caught myself.

Gak. Take it or leave it, but no harm meant...

No problem! :) Thanks for the post anyhoo, as pretty much everything you said is what I have in mind...

Just so you know, I do have a "quitting" date, which is March 4. So basically, go to NJ next week, and come back and tell my boss I'm giving my two weeks' notice. :) I just didn't want to post it just yet, as not everyone in my family knew at the time I posted that. :)

If everything falls into place (and the weather is with me), I should have a Jersey address by March 6! :)

Hot damn!!! ;D

I think you will find said Jersey address very familiar.....
seeing as how it's going to be "Emma's Room".
