So Long

As you may or may not know I am unemployed...By design. I got to put my 2 weeks notice and my last day at work was the 30th, so I could have a week off so that I could enjoy 4th.
Yeah there is nothing better than then the last 2 weeks of work.
"Hey, we need to do this."
"NOT MY PROBLEM", or NMP.
"Who is going to do you job when you leave?"
"NMP", frickin love it.
"we need to move this in 2 weeks:
"NMP"
Although I feel bad about the lady they moved in to my position. She had stated that she would be interested seeing what my job, which turned into 2 days later, "guess what, you have 6 days to learn your new job." She was a nice lady and if it wasn't for that I probably would have slept in my cubicle. Yeah, you heard me, screw that shit. My job had given me the shaft in the last hiring cycle and the cold shoulder ever since.
So, I explained how to do everything and then sat back and assisted her reading a book, even when my manager and the director stopped by.
The other shitty thing is the manager and the director who assholes, suddenly decided to tell you how good of a job you did.
Had ice cream cake on the next to the last day (no one works on Fridays). The cake kicked ass and the great people I worked with gave me a gift certificate to Dutch Bros (love it). The last day I invited certain people to have a beer, (which most people were gone for the 4th and a Friday - no one works on Friday). But my manager (who I didn't invit) shows up and buys me a beer. Trying to do the right thing, even though it didn't make up for 12 months of shit.
But I had until the July 10th until I start my new job (tomorrow).

So we went to Bend, watched the fireworks, let the dogs dig for moles, played golf (I suck!!), got a new gun, drank beer. etc.
I came back and drove to Eugene, my mom had her knee replaced and in typical fashion, my family (ie my dad) was unprepared. My sister in law ended taking care of my mom and my dad sat on my moms knee. I get a phone call from my new job about coming into get new uniforms and class time and when I will be sworn in. Hey? Guess what? None of my family (except my wonderful wife can attend). GREAT! Nothing makes you feel better having no family show up. Hey wait this is the second time. When I went to Summer Camp, no family. hhmmmm.

Bought some bitchin boots for work, found out that I am going to go to Summer Camp in July instead of August, which mean I will be done sooner. Yeah!!
I still can't remember when I have been unemployed for so Long (10 days), since 1996. Suck lazy bitches.

Man, I want one of these so bad!

Congrats on your much deserved vacation, I'm sorry your family can't make it down.

Since your mom just had knee surgery, tell her to watch out for blood clots (Deep Vein Thrombosis... or DVT's) - if you form blood clots it's supposed to be painful in your calves, but Dan never had any pain that he remembers with his, so he didn't realize they were there until they broke off and traveled to his lungs causing the shortness of breath. I don't know if she goes online much, but here is a link to some info:
