Let the Countdown Begin!

October 29, 2005 is the magic day, my friends! I asked our Country Director (i.e. PC Macedonia head honcho) if I could move up my Close-of-Service (COS) date by a month, and she gave me the thumbs-up. It was surprisingly easy. I was expecting to have to plead my case before a jury of my superiors, but all I had to do was say “I want my mommy.” (Okay, not quite THAT easy, but close.)

If everything goes as planned, in exactly three months and eighteen days, I will be on my way to London for a nice, long, wear-out-my-welcome visit with Dan “Big Shot” Levy, who just received word that he will soon be moving to merry ol’ England and will be responsible for an obscene amount of GE’s money. (Single ladies in the London metropolitan area, call 1-900-DANIMAL for more information. Gentiles need not apply.) Dan and I will relive our dormitory days by fencing with my knitting needles while wearing funny hats and chemistry goggles. (Dang, I wish I had that picture to post.) From London, I’ll hop across the pond and FINALLY get to spend the holidays with my family in my own home. *Happy sigh*
