OK, so what's up?

Well, last week, the guy that I'm working for at this contract job up and gave his notice. His last day is Friday. So, with his vacancy coming up soon, I decided to put my name into the hat in consideration for the job. (I think my name is the only name in the hat, but that doesn't matter.) I worked with the VP of the department back at the pharma in South City, so he knows me and what I'm capable of, and in the four weeks that I've been here, I've managed to demonstrate my abilities and impress those who need impressing, so it's more or less a sure thing. Now it's just a matter of paperwork. So, in a couple of weeks, I'll be transitioning from an independent contractor to a full-time, salaried employee. I am very excited, to say the least. So then I tell my current bosses that I'm considering this move, and they're all, "oh great! How wonderful! What a perfect position!" But they all said it in a way that convices me that they're just as happy to be free of me as I am of them. I guess my ranting and raving about not being paid on time soured my relationship. Whatever. It's almost over. So that's that. What a huge burden off my shoulders just to be in a stable, predictable environment. I know change is good, but I think change in my personal life is better than constant change in my "career."

This all gives me more flexibility to plan for events such as, oh, I don't know, my grandmother's 80th birthday, the trip to Paris to see Isabelle Boulay sur la scène à l'Olympia, and then to England to visit very special people in my life. Among other things.

I think that's all for now. I know I should have more to say, but I'm just not feeling it right now.

I was silly enough to write this at 1:08 PM
