Halloween Hootenanny

halloween

Went out for good old time Saturday night at Sean’s place, saw some old friend’s, had a couple drinks, and had a good old time. I was a zombie nurse if you’re trying to figure out what my costume was. Over did it a little with the Hot 100 but it was all good. Thanks Sean for having us over, Jesse for the advice, Mike for being Mike and Erin for taking care of Mike and I, without you I doubt we would have made it home.

Well, two days to go and I will be on a plane to the other side of the world where life as I know it will cease to exist. The past couple day’s I’ve been busily packing things together and tying up my last few odds and ends, the list is getting shorter and shorter but I always seem to be adding a few things to it along the way. I’m glad that I started getting the little things together like two week ago.

This is it

Well yesterday was my last day of work and now the countdown truly begins. In 6 more day’s 2 plus years of plotting and planning will come into fruition. I’ve had October 28th in my mind as my last day of work for over a year now and I must say it’s just a little too anti-climatic for my liking. Back in the cold bleak winter months of February and March, October seemed like a decade away and I had imagined my last day of work to be a thing of beauty. I figured at 4:30 on the dot I would do a back flip off my desk, while fireworks shot out of my ass, run out of the building, stopping at Lionel’s office to give him a flying head-bunt and do a last run through of the shop to the theme music of Rocky while everyone cheered me on. Oddly enough that didn’t happen but alas…

I’d just like to thank Dennis and Allen for being damn cool bosses and giving me the opportunity to fulfill my dreams and goals…even though they didn’t know about them.
