It's my last week at Munson, and I'm suprised at how...unaffected I feel. I guess I don't feel that attached to the place, but I think its mostly because I'm moving on to something familiar. While there are a lot of new people at Biolife in Marquette, the people I enjoyed working with and hanging out with outside of work are still there. So instead of me being the new hire that everyone has to meet it will be like they are the newbies I have to meet. When I went in on Friday to talk to Trudy (my boss at BLPS) and sign some papers she said they really needed my experience, but I still have to retrain for all of the tasks I used to be certified to do. It will be really hard to restrain myself in the meantime....to be standing next to a machine that's alarming and not be allowed to fix the problem even though I'll be one of the most experienced people on the floor. I supposed that will pass though...and Trudy is starting me at the same wage I was at when I left, so once I'm all "trained" up I should be making a little more than I do at Munson, I'll just be part time as opposed to full time (for a while).


I wish I could say Joe and I are actively packing, but so far we've only managed to pack up a couple bookshelves. It's so hard to figure out what to pack when we're still working and living and all that...but I guess we'll get it done somehow. Right now the plan is to start packing hardcore on Sunday and load the uhaul on Wednesday. Then we'll drive it over to Grayling, stay at Joe's parents, and head to Marquette Thursday morning. Jack and Ruth are planning on coming up to help too, which will be really nice. I'm going to try and arrange for them to meet my Dad since he's the only member of the family they haven't met yet.
