I think that's fantastic news. It was wearing you down, draining you.

What next?

*take out the 401K and pay off all debt, and hopefully have enough to either get a new car or do an overhaul on the one I have.

*Find mindless job that pays about equally (see "telemarketing" and the like~;P), preferably close enough to ride my bike to and from to save gasoline.

*Try to get to Italy in June with the Tri-C choir for one last fiesta before August.

* Move to Athens in August.

*start school at OU in September.

From that point, I have no idea.~8)

Be careful with the 401K. You will be subject to a 10% penalty, as well as adding the amount withdrawn as taxable income for the year. I've been burned with that, despite knowing the effects. Have them withhold 30% from your distribution if you can, and don't forget about the state, too (no penalty there, but they count the withdrawl as income).

I think you'd be a lot happier with the mindless telemarketing or similar job at this stage. You were getting so burned out.

Italy!! Again!!! Maybe we can arrange to meet again, hopefully for longer than one day!

Athens...hot as hell, but a pretty area of Ohio. And a good school :) Definitely a good choice, I think.

I'll be in Cleveland when your last day happens. Let's get a drink to celebrate before I go home!

I know they will count it, and yeah, I was going for the 30% deal, to keep me from being funked this time next year. Thanks for the heads-up though!

The Italy trip is supposed to be with the choir from Tri-C. Honestly, I cannot afford to go, and there's this part of me that feels very wrong about asking anyone to donate money this year. It just feels like freeloading, and I can't do that. If I do wind up going, it'll be for a week, and we'll be traveling from Vicenza to Rome over the seven day period performing, so it's not likely I'll get to visit anywhere else, unfortunately. I'd really like to though.

As for the heat in Athens...I don't mind heat, so long as the winters aren't as bad...this shite is killing my spirit these days.~8(

As for the drink, you know I am THERE!~8)
Give me a call when you are here, OK? We'll work from there.

i'm outta the loop a bit. . . what occurs after the 22d?

[thedarksiren.livejournal.com]

I no longer work at Howe House. I gave my month notice yesterday. I just hate it there anymore, and was seeking freedom from it for a long time.

aaiiiee!
