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:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. 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.<\/li>\n
  2. 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.<\/li>\n
  3. Major contract is only 20 minutes in hard commute traffic (10 min’s in off-peak time) from home.<\/li>\n
  4. Major contract is NOT with the State.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    All of this means that I’ll be blogging a whole lot less, as I’ll probably be having to actually work<\/i> for my money. On the up-side, though, the pay’s much better, and I’ll be in an organization which rewards<\/i> 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!<\/p>\n

    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.<\/p>\n

    I am content.<\/p>\n
