After a very good Fourth of July weekend, today is the day I have to tell my boss that I am resigning from ATS. It really is not going to be easy at all. I really love my work at ATS and will miss it very much, but there does not appear to be a great deal of job security in this division. Beyond that, I have a great opportunity up in Washington. So far, everything has opened up in a rather amazing way. I had to be offered a job at MEI twice before I was willing to take it. It just feels wierd telling a good friend that I have to resign. I have only been at ATS one year.
I have some more pictures I want to put up on the web of our wonderful Fourth of July weekend. I will try to get them up in the next day or two. On Friday night, we did our usual at the house, just hanging out, watching a DVD and goofing off mostly. On Saturday, Kelly and Christian had their parade and we went out to dinner. On Sunday after meeting we went to a great little chinese food place for dinner and then went over to shoot off our fireworks at the Ramsdell’s house with the Ramsdells, the Meyers, and Shauna Ramey. They are such hospitable people. Finally, we went up to the Washington Square Mall in Portland on Monday, followed by a visit to my dad and mom. We listened to The Hobbit on the way there and on the way back. We finally got to the part where Bilbo meets Smaug in the evening when we got back home and I was doing my exercises.
