March Maddness

This is gonna have a new meaning for me. As most of ya know I am retiring from wonderful state service the last day of april 2007! Well yesterday it struck me I have so much to do and so little time. I have to pack to go to the new building, yes I will leave some things behind-like state purchased books, files and the like.
I also have to pack the things I have to take home. I have to take said packed items home. Also, have to take the furniture thats mine home. Of course have to help the daughter and take her furniture/ wheelchairs home!
Along with bringing stuff back from Maryland to resume living in NJ-unpack that stuff!
The beginning of the week I happily found out I had more time to use than I thought-so have to get that time used up-see the smile on my face!
I also have an abundance of stuff left over from when I was on leave to get done, along with the stuff that has been given since I got back to work-OMY whats a gal to do? I will just have to pace myself! LOL
I think I should just ignore it and leave it to the next person, but if anyone knows me I cant do that!

Mama,

Why bother? You have less than two months left...enjoy your short time in Officeland, pretend you are a supervisor!

When I get back on the 12th, I will have five days to catch up on everything, pack up, and then move to Officeland II.

Ugh! Thank god I have one more week to max and relax!

And how many sick days have you accumulated? My daughter (third grade teacher) has 52 on the books - finds it hard to leave her kids.

JT of course you can sign I do need an autograph of a published writer!
Pax- relax now believe me! I am not so glad I returned to work! I should have listened to the big guy and stayed out til I do retire, but I would miss saying good bye in my own way!
Joein- I really dont have that many, but with the combined time I could prob take most of April off. I have been considering taking half days til I leave, afterall(as those in officeland know) the am's are the best around the Pax coffee machine good coffee/good conversation-oops no work! Also if I only work 1/2 days pax wont have to remember to give me my 2pm meds!
