No pictures for this one, folks. Just a quick entry to say that there’s going to be a lot of change around our lives pretty soon:
- I gave notice today that I’m terminating my main contract, as it’s really been over with for quite some time, even though they won’t see it.
- I’ve got a small contract lined up for the beginning of November, but have a MAJOR contract lined up beginning in like two weeks.
- Major contract is only 20 minutes in hard commute traffic (10 min’s in off-peak time) from home.
- Major contract is NOT with the State.
All of this means that I’ll be blogging a whole lot less, as I’ll probably be having to actually work for my money. On the up-side, though, the pay’s much better, and I’ll be in an organization which rewards people for working. And which has offices in France … so, all of my efforts to learn French in the car on the way in to work may pay off!
With the job change also come the facts that the sister-in-law’s not-wedding thing is now over, and that we’ve torn the garden out except for some onions & shallots, and that we’ve moved the portable a/c into storage & have taken down the deck umbrella. So, it’s fall, we’re looking more towards canning & being warm, and I’ll be closer to home for all of it.

And can I tell you how much I love your WeatherGoth? He’s just too cute.
Problem with weather-goth? He says it’s 72 degrees, like, all of the time! And he lives in Concord, which is SO totally across the bay, and SO has different weather than our perfect little Benicia. And he has a beard. And a moustache.
That’s true.
Can you change his locale? It is somewhat ridiculous to have weather readings from twenty miles away, in another microclimate.
And no, not loving the beard. He needs a soul patch. Heh.
I can change where he lives … but this is the closest, physically, to us. Grump.
Not even responding to the soul patch comment. Not.
Just dropping by to say: I think your Weather Goth scares my Weather Pixie, just a little. Well done. 🙂
(Congrats on the new contract, too!)
