Making progress on my epic Halloween diamond painting.\u00a0 Five of the 8 panels are complete!\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n

I’m taking a short break to swap to my small diamond painting for Drills and Chills.\u00a0 It’s a Halloween event where you can win prizes!\u00a0 This painting wouldn’t count because you couldn’t start until September.\u00a0 So I’m doing this small one from Michael’s:<\/p>\n\n\n

You might think I’ll never finish both before Halloween, but I have some time off coming up.\u00a0 Possibly.\u00a0 Very likely.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I might have found a job!\u00a0 It will be as a contract to the government.\u00a0 I’ll be doing hardware configuration management in aviation.\u00a0 It’s working for a temporary boss I had.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The benefits aren’t as good, but they’re better than unemployment!\u00a0 And I love my boss.\u00a0 She won’t be my boss boss cause I’ll be a contractor again.\u00a0 But my boss only cares that I make her happy, so SCORE.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Problem is less PTO and not fronting me ANY.\u00a0 So starting late October with 0 PTO.\u00a0 Awesome.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

HOWEVER, it is just in time for me to leave my job with a payout incentive to quit.\u00a0 Right in the nick of time!\u00a0 I have to choose by Tuesday.\u00a0 They wanted to try to get me the offer Friday, but it didn’t come so hopefully tomorrow.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m going to take 2 weeks off.  STAYCATION! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
