So today I tended my resignation to DK. On Monday August 20, I will start at Ardent, where both Todd and Todd work. It is kind of sad knowing that I will be leaving DK, but very fulfilling at the same time. I hate to leave my coworkers in a lurch, but I have to do what is best for me.
My new job is about the same distance from my house as my current job, just in the opposite direction up Hillsboro.
This also really makes me feel better for a purchase that I made on Sunday. I bought this.
My jeep drinks a lot of gas, and I realized that most of the driving I do is around town, which is where my car doesn’t do so hot on miles per gallon. I really don’t have to worry about that now. I should get between 65 and 80 miles per gallon or something like that with this. It cost a whopping 7.50 to fill it up, since I used premium. I love riding it too. I have to get a license within the next 30 days, and add it to insurance, but it is a blast so far.

It is around 13 hours until it is released. I just got back from Kroger with provisions for the night/day of reading that lies ahead. Mainly sandwich stuff, and Sobe Adrenaline rush. My guess is that I will get home around 1:!5-1:30 tonight. I figure that by the time I take out Sirius, and possibly Bella if she is here too, I will start reading at 2:00. OOTP took me 15 hours. HBP around 13. I am figuring that I will finish the book around 1:00 on Saturday. I will then be in shock and try to sleep for a couple of hours, before calling, texting, posting to anyone I know who has finished it in order to discuss.
I think that everything is ready for the book release event tonight. I need to post pictures of the Quidditch pitch that I made, and the broom that accompanies it. Yesterday was spent sitting about 3 feet away from 1600 copies of the book that I was not allowed to open a box. That was some sort of hell. It will be very bittersweet to read the book, as it is the end. I finished up OOTP and HBP on audio, so I am ready to dig in, now that I remember what happened in HBP. It is amazing how much that you can forget from a book.
Time to head to a job interview. Yea I know, the timing is about the worst day ever, but they really wanted me to come in this week. It is the same company as before, and they finally called me in for a 2nd interview. Now granted, I love my new position at work, but this one would pay more, and be in the tech field, which is what I am wanting to pursue. Here’s to a busy day.
