It's down to  113 days and I'm feeling closer and closer to a decision.  Friday I learned that our Interim VP has been replaced with yet another consulting firm and interim VP; this more to Sr. D's liking I'm guessing.  I'm tired of breaking in new bosses.  Explaining our procedures and history, revamping all the reporting because they have something they like better.   This one is suppose to be here until June when they will open the search again.

I am thinking more and more of making an offer to work part-time to complete surveys, but I'm not even sure that's the route I want to go.  After all, I'd still be under the same scrutiny and attacks that have led me to this point.

Friday, Rich and I had his exit interview with HR, some good, some bad.  One thing we hadn't counted on when we were told that his insurance would continue as a retiree was how much that was going to cost!  Finances are the scary thing about retiring.  While lots of people have told us they are better off since retirement, the pool of money we have will go a lot faster when we have to drop $600 a month or so on health care :(  He's retiring for sure, but it may mean back to the drawing board for me.   Time will tell.... 112 more days to be specific.

For now I plan to go to a conference in November and possible state my intentions at the beginning of December.   Of course, I don't know if they will let me work the entire month, once i give my notice, so that's something that remains to be seen.

All I know is when i leave that's one more down and Sr. D will only have 2 more to go until she can put in her 'dream team.'  Good luck with that!

That's it for now....   will write more tomorrow, maybe after I've met the new VP.
