We Swear

I had a text-message exchange with my soon-to-be boss.   The subjects were the background check and the letter of intent to hire.

.
boss: Human Resources is writing the offer letter now, they will send me a copy as soon as it is done.

me: I guess that means I passed the background check. 

boss: Yea, I spilt coffee on it while the attorney was reading it.

me: ROFL!

.

So, it looks like my last day at my current job will be the 24th.  Fifteen years there.  I just got an award for that.

I expect to start the new job on November 3rd.  I’m excited.

.

In the mean time, lots to do.  Hmmm, I wonder if there is a level of blogging that is lower than what I have been doing, but still higher than zero. 

Update: Oh.  The move is a job in Fayetteville, North Carolina.  I’m told to expect quite a difference from Detroit, Michigan.  Also, my soon-to-be boss is a former co-worker here who took the buyout and moved to NC.  He’s been bugging me ever since to come down there.  Over my fourth of  July visit, we worked out the details.  The rest has been a slow ride to here.

.

Another Update: I just turned in my Letter of Resignation.  Both bosses said “I’m not accepting this.”  They are about as torn as I am.  It is a great opportunity, but it is a difficult time.
