…at least for my job. We’re closing on the house on July 10. I figure that I’ll walk in next Monday and hand over my resignation. It will feel good…damnit.
I’m just glad it will be over. I called one of the ladies that works for me last night, and it appears that my boss is telling everyone to hold off or wait until I get back. Geez, thanks. I really appreciate it. I wonder if he’s reading right now. That would be a hoot, wouldn’t it? On one hand, it would be convenient to already have my stuff packed up when I arrived on Monday. I’m sure I’d be spared the inconvenience of handing over my resignation to boot. Look at how fast my cup is filling to the halfway mark.
In other news, I’ve been really busy with my photography business lately. Not only am I shocked at how fast my house sold, but I’m also shocked at how fast I’ve been getting referrals. I’m having trouble with being consistent, though. I had three shoots last weekend, and I only felt good about one of them. It’s the weirdest thing too because BOTH of the moms don’t like the headshots I did of each one individually. One actually asked to have me take them out of her slideshow before she emailed it to all her friends. (If you want to see her slideshow, enter my daughter’s name on my website.) It just has me wondering. Are these women really that vain, or am I just really shitty at taking anyone’s portrait who remembers the 70’s?
I suppose I’d better get back to work. Hugs and smooches to all you lovely people out there.

Hooray for selling the house! And for leaving a job where you’re not happy! And for the photo business picking up!
I think some people are really weird about the photo thing. At a work event last year, I took a bunch of photos and then sent the link to everyone who was included. I also told them I would be happy to take anything down if people didn’t like it. One of my favorite photos was of two of my co-workers dancing, and it just really looked like they were having a good time. But the woman said she didn’t think it was very flattering of her, and asked me to remove it. I did, of course, but whatever!
Did you have another daughter that you haven’t told us about? Because I’m getting an error when I enter her name on your site.

Wow, your house sold fast, huh? Do you guys have a new place yet?
There has only been 1 time where I haven’t liked a photo of my own kid. It was when Catherine was about a year old, and she looked just like my mother-in -law. Ugh. I never did order any of those pictures.
Hope Spy Dad has a great Father’s Day!

Sharkey – Make sure that you capitalize the first letter of her name. It’s such a booger.
Thanks for the cheerleading. I need it right now. Hooray!

So, what’ s the scoop?? Are you guys moving far away, did the husband get a new job?? I’m still at a bit of a loss over what’s going on?? Will you be moving to Michigan
But it’s great that your house sold so fast!! Wow! And even better that you get to leave a job you hate! Nothing much worse than a job you hate…I know.
