Dec 23, Schellenberg Family Christmas

Dec 28th Fly out of the country

somewhere in there, we are getting 2 storage containers, one for indoor and one for outdoor storage.  We have found renters for the house, and they are taking possession on Jan 1. The fish tank is 1/2 destroyed, and well on it’s way to being gone. Rosie has to be fired overseas on or about the 28th so she gets there right around the same time as we do…

We ship our goods overseas soemtime in the next 2 weeks…

I think that’s all I know for now.

Ghost at work

No comments

So… I am into my last 4 days of a 7 year term at allstream… Well, allstream, Att canada, Att, Mts, Bird on a wire to be completly specific… It’s been fun, learned lots, and made a ton of good friends.

Just kinda realized something… Once you quit, a whole lot changes. First of all, everyone is happy for you, you get the man, I knew you were going to, and the I never would have thought’s and then it goes back to business as usual for a few days or weeks depending on how long you give… that is where I am right now. Things are quietly progressing all around me, and I feel like a ghost. People milling around, and I am kinda detached from it all…  Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind it. but it is weird.

I kinda think that in the next 4 days things are going to go from quiet, to insane, and then back to quiet again. Well, that is what I predict. a tiny voice in my head is saying they are just going to wave good bye, and that is the extent of the good bye. Who knows…  It has been a fun ride though….
