Ain't she purty?

My new Dell Latitude 630 will be here next week.
[insert girlish giggling here]

Everything a girl needs to sit in random Maryland Starbuck's and complete great architectural masterpieces. Yep, I finally broke the news to my company that in exactly 39 days (39 days!!) I will be leaving the great state of Pennsylvania to move in with my sweetie-pie-snookum-butt (though I worded it slightly differently in the meeting) (yes, only slightly).
Their reaction?
I've been awarded a telecommuting position.
I so rock.
And life is so good.

Totally awsome!!!

I like Maryland, the Tiki Bar just opened on the Island (Solomons) this past weekend, it was great fun!!!

I SO wish I could telecommute...with my job, I can totally work from anywhere as long as there's a phone line and a phone, but they won't let you unless it's absolutely necessary.

Congratulations!

But don't let that stop you from looking around in Maryland. You might find a great job that pays more AND lets you work from home a few days a week. Employers will do great things for good talent.

Telecommuting position? Did they break down the details for you??? That is awesome!!! Get the details though -- like will they expect you to show up in person for weekly meetings, etc.

39 days? Cripes that is right around the corner! Are the kids getting excited???

Thank you everyone.

Yes, it's coming fast and I'm really excited (and nervous but that's for another day).
And I actually have my resume and cover letter all updated and was preparing for the job search. You really can't swing a dead cat in Md without hitting a job in my field, and for more money to boot. However, the trade-off of not having to commute (after years of spending 3hrs a day in the car) and not having to find before and/or after school care for The Girl and actually getting to see the kids more...well, I'll take less pay thank you very much.
Ironically, CC, even if I had to drive up once a week for meetings, that would still be less driving per week then I do now.

And the Macbook Air's are awesome. BUT incapable of handling the software I use. Curses!

The kids are terribly excited though The Girl is having a hard time grasping the concept that this is more then a visit. She's never moved before, though The Paperweight is on his 4th apartment since he moved out of here so you would think she'd grasp the concept a little. Perhaps it's just the idea of her living her home...

Congratulations on it all. :)
But I have to admit, sometimes I miss the snarky posts. ;)

Duh... that "anonymous" was me. I got ahead of myself after dealing with those stupid letters you have to type in.

There's internet in Maryland, at least for a few more years, so I'm cool with you moving, in case you cared. I know that was one of your criteria.

Congrats on the big changes!
