Two Weeks notice!

Arrivaderci from Sidney!

Well, I just gave the boss my two weeks notice, so that's it for me here in loverly downtown Sidney. It was an interesting, sometimes stressful, couple of years, but it looks as if we've come through it relatively unscathed.

I've accepted a position at Lockheed Martin back in the Omaha area, working with/for my old buddy Blake. For two years, I've been begging him for a job - he must have gotten tired of hearing it, because he finally relented and hooked me up.

So, two weeks from now, I'll be making my lonely way back home... I say lonely, because the wife and kids are going to stay here for a while waiting for the house to sell. We'll give it a couple of months before we give up and just try to rent it out. Since there is a serious dearth of decent rental properties in the area, we should be able to get it rented in no time. In fact, we've already got people asking about renting it...

While I'm back there, I'll be bach-ing it up, probably living in a little one bedroom apartment. Obviously, money is going to be an issue, so we can't even look at buying out there until we get rid of this place. Yes, we learned our lesson from the last time.

So, I'm pretty excited and looking forward to this new adventure. My friends and co-workers are really jealous, especially considering that there is probably another layoff coming in January - nobody feels safe.

We officially listed the house yesterday, so there's a nice, pretty Remax realty sign out in the front yard. So, I have to end this like I've ended so many posts in my long and storied career: Get out there and buy my house!

Love and kisses, Anthony.

Congratulations! Welcome back to civilization (relatively). I bet you'll be glad to have more than one option for eating out and shopping. Consider the Sidney years as an overseas TDY.

Are you back yet? Are you starting work right away, or taking a few days to get settled?
