Like the old country song...

Take this job and shove it! I ain't working here no more!

Today I got to work and turned in my "tenative" notice of resignation from 911. So long as all goes well with the sale of the house, and I know it will cause GOD loves me ( no pressure big guy ), my last day as a 911 dispatcher will be August 3rd. Crystals last day is going to be July 24th (insert naughty cuss words chewing her out here). If I work one day in August my benefits continue thru the month of August, so since the 3rd is really my normal monday, I'll work that day and get our benefits paid for another month and then be free from the chains of city employment! Not that I've been keeping track, but I only have 16 more work days left to go, for some reason that doesnt sound as bad as saying 4 weeks, good god that seems like a long time.

I got my route all planned out tonight after work, looks like its going to take me 2 very long days to get from here to Pheonix. I'm going to try and do it in those 2 days, then again, I may say screw it and just do it in 3. I've never been a good long distance driver, or never used to be anyway, I guess I'll have the chance to re-evaluate that here real soon. Now I have to call Budget and find out the mileage on their big trucks, I'm guessing it wont be much, and am hoping for 15 mpg freeway...I think I'm asking alot, but thats what I'm hoping for. It's going to cost an arm and a leg to just buy the gas for that pig.

Crystal has an early dentist appt. so off to bed, going to try and start getting some packing done tomorrow night, never to early to start.
