Knee-jerk thoughts in the morning:
-It was nice to sleep in without guilt or being sick or it being a weekend.
-Does or is anyone missing me today at Goodwill?
+Are there people who didn't find out and who have, now? What are their thoughts? Positive, negative, incredulous, fearful?
-Is it really, REALLY quiet on the 2nd floor of the Main Office?
-I have umpteen bazillion emails here at home regarding school and stuff that I have to go through, but I have to buy a couple of ink cartridges 'cause the printer won't print without them. <sigh> Another list for a WalMart run.
-Do I REALLY want a 'farewell' luncheon, or should I shine it on? Probably shine it on.
An aside-you KNOW you're a writer when you get up and all you can think of is getting to the computer or laptop and writing, when you make something to eat or drink and you put it next to the PC or the laptop, when you sometimes feel guilty about writing vs. going to the store, doing housework, etc, then you know.
I've known it for a long long time, but now I HAVE the time.

| I gotta WRITE! |
This pic to the right that I put together from two cliparts and one auto-shape with text in it is my fave!
I just spoke with my 403(b) retirement account broker regarding my account. Bub and I set up a meeting for Thursday at a very fave deli in Santa Ana!
I love meeting with him, 'cause he usually buys!!!
The tax ramifications of doing things with that account are quasi-complicated when you are or are not a certain age and you have certain things going on inside the account.
Must look into this.
Ok, I looked into it.
https://www.tri-ad.com/participants/403b_faqs.aspx#termI also shot off an email to the org's CFO about this.
When I was cleaning out stuff last Friday the 23rd and looking around for things that were mine, I thought that it was hard to determine things I brought in myself for me to use and things I was using that were the company's, since I had used them for so long.

Some of the more interesting things of mine that I took were:
1. My old advanced Excel workbook from 2002, and the information is STILL good no matter WHAT version of Office you are running;
2. My HR personnel files, namely my 10 year old Employee Handbook;
3. "The Secretary's Handbook-A Manual Of Correct Usage". This 6th Edition (which I assume was updated from the 1st Edition) was written in 1947. The 1st Edition was written in 1929. This book STILL cracks me up.
4. Plates, utensils, tea, greeting cards, CD's (blank and with music), just a bunch of stuff that had been in my desk for, WOW, a decade now. A decade with Goodwill of OC. I still shake my head and find that it's hard to wrap my mind around, that I was there a decade, and that I no longer am there.
DAMMIT, I FORGOT MY SPEAKERS!!!
Later this evening, and speaking of finding it's hard to wrap my head about not being with GW, it's also hard for me to wrap my head around two more ex-coworkers who were let go today from my dept, and another ex-coworker is gone from another department who I'd known since right after I was hired!!! What the HELL is going on???
It's weird-I WAS going to get some Letters of Recommendation from some ex-coworkers, but now there'll be no one LEFT to give me one!
