When one door closes, a flight takes off ...

So today is technically my last day of work at TUCI. I say technically because, due to some complications, the paper I've been working on isn't done and I'll still be around until it's finished. But this is the last day I get paid for.

Tomorrow I leave for orientation in Atlanta for my VISTA position. A little nervous about that. I don't expect the work to be exceptionally hard (maybe time-consuming) but the boss seems to be a bit of an absent-minded professor. Turn-around on emails is usually a week or two (if ever) and I think he assumes I know a lot of stuff I don't. I kinda get that drowning feeling when I talk to him.

Yikes.

I'm excited to see Atlanta, though. I haven't been through there in aaages and, while I'll be going to all sorts of meetings, etc., it's going to be the closest thing to a vacation I'll get this summer.

It's also getting closer and closer to grad school deadlines which means I'll be working on those at the same time I'm figuring the new job out.

Right now, I think I'm ready to get settled into the new job and get some stability in my life. This up-in-the-air stuff stresses me out. Considering yoga classes.

I do not work well with people like that. Hopefully you can cope better than I.

Also, please answer my question on your previous blog post so I can send you my novel. Thanks!

Yeah. :( I'll be there the next weekend. Oh well. No fun Atlanta adventures for us.
