That's why I was careful to say 'for now.'

At least I'm no longer in Administration, my area lost 1/2 it's admin staff after I switched jobs. They didn't replace me and let another Admin person go within a couple of months.

I've got most of my stuff packed for tomorrow, but it's all just piled in my suitcase. now I actually have to pack it up nicely.

And I really want to take a nap, but I have to go to bed early so I can get up early and drive an hour then park then check in then go through security and get on the plane.

I hate flying.

Once someone, where I worked, who was fed up with people stealing from his 3 liter Coke bottle put a note on it saying, "I spit in this bottle." only to find an addendum to his note the next day that said, "I did, too!".

You should consider taking some flying lessons. No really.. many people that didn't like to fly do it, and they say understanding what is happening helps.

Or, do you hate flying because you have to deal with TSA, checking bags and such... yea.. that part sucks!

Here Here! My mortgage broker is my ex-best friend. We had our house paid off and decided to go for a remodel. We took out a loan to do so. I was in Canada showing horses when my ex-husband signed the note. The ex friend managed to lie to him telling him it was a standard loan. The contractor that we hired stole $125K, ruined the house, and bailed after taking the roof off. We spent a year with tarps and no roof. In Western Washington. Then a year later discovered that the payments ballooned. Yeah, I'm NOT a happy camper!

ok, I don't have time for this. I have just moved 900 miles, am starting a new job tomorrow, and still need to unpack, complete my new hire paperwork and figure out where I am supposed to go in the morning.

Thanks anyway.
