Two days until unemployment. Yippee.

I decided not to disappear because it is important to tell some of my borrowers that I'm not going to be working with them after Friday. When you take a case from a craptastic mess to disbursing money, borrowers get attached to you. i've only told a few people intentionally, but folks on two cubicle rows away hear my phone conversations. I've asked if I'm loud and have been assured that I'm not. I must be. Either that or I'm just so interesting that folks can't help but eavesdrop. I'm loud. It's in the blood. Just ask my Aunt J.

I've also been telling people why I'm leaving - never been very good at evasive tactics. People all seem happy for me that I'm taking this opportunity to travel.

Management knows why I'm leaving and has said that they'll take me back if there's a position. Who knows what will happen. I do hope they find a place for me. My thinking is that working for the Disaster Assistance Office, walking people through the process of obtaining their loan funds, will be the best way for me to contribute to the Katrina recovery efforts.

Side note of the evening: weight gain is great for breast size. I wish I weren't a stress eater, but there it is. Nice boobs, overly generous thighs. I have been taking the stairs two at a time and can feel the muscles in my thighs and rear working. After six weeks of wandering and taking stairs two at a time, I might just have that tight ass that I never knew I wanted.

I'm almost finished with a shawl I wanted to knit for my trip. Wow. I finished a project by my deadline. Crazy. I'll post a picture this weekend. Maybe I'll show you all the disgusting mess that is my trip preparation. Maybe not. I think I'll take the photo outside under a nice tree or in front of a lovely shrubbery.

Um, The Corpse Bride anyone? Now that is cause for a Wheeeeeeeeee!
