He has texted me several times already to ask questions about things we already went over. I did tell him that he has 4 or 5 weeks before that number will no longer be valid. I am changing numbers when I get to WV. Probably sooner rather than later. They threw me a little going away party. I specifically told them I did not want a big send off. I heard it through the grapevine that they had planned a huge event. It was nice to know that they planned it but I know many would only show up because of free food, not because they wanted to see me and wish me well. The one thing that hurt a bit was my Sr. Exec. Director and my Sr. Director, men that I worked hard for, made look good on numerous occasions and performed the job of 3 people for never bothered showing up or even calling that they couldn’t make it due to a feigned busy schedule or emergency meeting - I had access to their calendars. I guess they forgot. AND they also have my personal number so they could have tested or even called after the fact. Oh well. I need a little advice… Here’s the thing. My old Sr. Exec. Director had a plaque made up for me. Actually it is a mock “bus stop sign”. A very cheaply made bus stop sign they had done at the agency sign shop at a very low cost. First of all, I hate buses. I have never worked on “bus side”, as they call it and, on top of that, there has always been a bitter rivalry between bus and rail at this agency. Here’s the plaque. It’s approx. 16” X 18” Honestly, this thing is an insult to me. Both of these honchos knew darn well it would be, I’m sure. The real kicker is I have over 18 years total with this agency and they put “3 years”? Gimme a break. I have considered a couple of options and I would like your advice. 1. Mail it back to them with a note stating my displeasure with them. 2. Use it as a target and send them a photo of the results. 3. Use it as a target then toss it. 4. Throw it away and be done with it. What say you? Option #4. And shake the dust of that place off your feet.

First I bent it in half then chucked it into the recycle bin. It was aluminum. 13 minutes ago, Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 said: Did your furniture arrive OK? Are you get settled in yet? When's the house warming? We haven’t received our pod / container yet. It is due tomorrow and on Saturday I have 2 guys coming to unload it. We have been sleeping on an air bed. We have a tv, 2 folding chairs and a big tray table. We won’t be having a house warming. No room. This house is small. 800 sq ft. It’s only temporary until next summer. The goal is to research the area and buy a house before next July. Then we move again. On 8/9/2022 at 5:15 PM, Wallaby Jack, SASS #44062 said: zero + 37 ....... are ya bored yet ? Nope

I will have you know that I do not eat that stuff…ever. I tried it back in the early 80’s, just like sushi, a couple of times was enough…and it was tried to be polite to others.

Hope your unloading goes smoothly tomorrow, prayers for you guys from here!
