So long, and thanks for all the fish
Tomorrow, at 6am, I leave for a job in California. I'm not very happy about it, as the company has given me almost nothing in the way of aid as far as getting there, but it's that or hang around here until April/May when I go back to Alaska.

Speaking of leaving, my sister (who I've been living with) has accepted a position in Peoria, Illinois starting in January. Her husband has very subtly (not) informed me that I am not welcome to come with them. So while I'm gone, all my stuff will be packed up and taken to my mother's house in Virginia, and my cat will go to Peoria (and no longer be my cat :/).

Basically, this means that when I finish my next 2 jobs, I have nowhere to stay except for my parent's house in Virginia. So I guess this is goodbye, at least as far as North Carolina is concerned.
