Friday will be my last day here at my current contracting/consulting job. What started out as a 2-week assignment back in August of 2004, has turned into a 15 month assignment. My boss wanted more of me, and last week asked me to commit to another year here. My "honesty" gene was working overtime and I let her know that given my personal situation (Sherry's death, Mother's hip/leg fracture, and my strong desire to re-locate to the DC area) I just couldn't do that. So she pulled my contract early (I was supposed to be here at least until Dec 22nd.) Oh well. Such is life.

I really have enjoyed this job, but to tell you the truth, I'm ready for a break. I have boxes to pack and stuff to throw away and decisions to make.

Something tells me this sabbatical is going to be busy and go by fast!
