So, we were talking on the couch tonight about my impending departure. After looking at some numbers, and the resulting potential for increasing our stress levels, we’ve decided to delay my exit. I’ll still be leaving the company, but not it’s not going to happen until …

… wait for it …

The middle of December. I know, big whoop. There are just a few things in the works on her side that we want to see nailed down before making such a large change. Heck, this is such an incredible opportunity for me, if she says to wait for two weeks, who am I to complain?

There are very few people who know why I’m leaving the company. After my final day, I’ll write up a little sumpin’ to explain it all in grand detail. Until then, you’ll have to just accept the fact that two weeks is no picnic for me. Again, though, it’s only two weeks, and if that little thing makes my lady comfortable, then that’s what I’ll do.

The downside is that my flight training won’t begin “on time”, though it’s not like I’m on a schedule. I actually stopped by the field tonight and chatted with one of the instructors. I had a lot of questions, he had a lot of answers, fun was had by all.

I also walked around my potential future college campus today. The first 15 minutes were … panic inducing. I felt very lost and very out of place. Everybody’s so young! I got over it relatively quickly and tried to find my way across the grounds. Ok, found the cafe, library, and Soc and Psych departments. Not so tough. I headed back to the library, grabbed a psych book, and picked a chair by the window. And heeeere’s the trouble.

I can’t read.

Ok, yeah, I can read read, but I had a heck of a time absorbing anything. Maybe it was the noisy environment, maybe it was the questionable and worrisome flavor of my campus mocha, maybe it was the throngs of college girls walking by. Regardless, it was damn hard to concentrate. I know it may sound a little silly, but I think I’m going to have to work diligently just to learn how to learn again.
