Farewell, Cruel Week.

This week was not stellar. Not the worst week I've had, yet it was a bit of a frustrating week. It started off with a bang. We sold our car on Sunday, and then Monday discovered we had mucho problems with the VA DMV because of their incompetence. (See P's blog for the details)

Then, I turned in my resignation at work this week. While it may seem like a shock to some, it has actually been something I've been contemplating for sometime. And quitting ones job is almost always a bittersweet experience. I'm very excited for a fresh start and am confident that this was the correct decision for me, but there will definitely be things I'll miss about my current job. I'll miss my big office with a gorgeous view of K Street and Franklin Park. I will definitely miss my staff they are really nice competent folks. I'll be sad not to refer to DC Coast as 'the cafeteria.' But most of all, I'll miss my boss. I adore him.

And in the midst of all of this insanity I had to turn in my preliminary data for my big paper today at Friday 5:00pm. Of course, this would have been less stressful had I bothered to organize and budget my time responsibly the past two weeks, but I don't want to dwell on that!
