Done deal, now the race is on!

OK, I'm starting my new job on Monday, July 14, so I think I'll be leaving Wednesday the 9th or early the 10th. It'll take me a day or two to get down there, plus I have to go in to the new office on Friday for a quick check-in with H/R...because I'm flying to Cleveland on my first day of work!!

So, I'm thinking I'll plant myself at The Anchor on the night of Tuesday, July 8, and anyone who can come by to say "farewell," please do!!

Or, if you want to stop by the house and help me pack, paint, put in flooring, or stop by the garage sale on Saturday the 5th, I'll be here! 1642 N. Hood

I won't blame you if you opt for the bar visit instead of the house. But if you need a good fridge, microwave, couch, queen size canopy bed frame, retro dinette set, or just love to hit garage sales, come by next Saturday!!

And the winner is (brain drain starting now)...

Houston! Well, that's of course assuming the agreement I get in writing is as good as the verbal offer. The job is Market Manager, with roles in both publishing and online, focused on marketing strategy and market/customer relations after the sale. I'll have a huge range of projects, which will keep the job challenging. And of course, the VP had to reiterate that this is the position she started in, just a handful of years ago. She said if I'm a hard worker, I'll advance and the pay will follow.

SWEET! The MBA is paying off. Just not in Wichita [Brain Drain!]. Can I do a presentation for the city leaders? PLEASE?!?

I'll let you know what date I pick to start, it'll either be immediately or in a few weeks (probably the latter, still gotta finish the house to put it on the market).

And I'll let you know my new address, so you can come visit! Austin and San Antonio are just a couple of hours away!
