Back!

I have been running since we got back from our trip. We got in about three yesterday afternoon, but Kevin had to go to bed right away to try and get some sleep before his first shift started. I went ahead and ran errands while he was doing that, and then with all the getting up with him, going back to bed, then getting back up for work, I didn't have a chance to sit down and post anything. Plus, work kept me pretty busy.

I told Kev everything, and after he stopped threatening to kill Alex, we sat down and talked about a game plan. I suppose it's not so much a game plan as a "Can I afford to quit my job" plan. I did tell him that I had potential job opportunities available to me and then he asked me the big question: Was I really happy doing the suit and tie thing?

It made me stop and think. Going back to work today also made me stop and think. It wasn't just because of the situation Somers was/is putting me in, but when I sat down and imagined myself still doing my job until the day I retired, I became incredibly depressed. Then, I typed up my resignation and put it on my boss's desk. I just walked out of there. I still can't believe I did it.

Kev's asleep now (his first day on the new job went well, he said), but he should be getting up soon so we can have a talk about what I've done. I'm not going to start panicking until tomorrow.

*Snuggles* I missed you all and I am glad to hear about the whole job thing.

You deserve better!

Give the boys kisses from me and Mmmwah, one to you too.

Hey, sweetie, I missed you too! Kev kept me busy while we were away, but I still wanted to be able to say hi to everyone.

Wendell and I send back sloppy kisses and I'm sure Kev will too as soon as he gets out of the shower.

*laughs* Yup. Soon, he'll be out, all drippy and sexy.

*laughs harder* If he's lucky I may just lick him dry. And if you're lucky, I may just describe it in great detail. Or let you pop over to watch.

Will, don't make me come there and tell you off for being a bad boy!

[identity profile] ex-will-port106.livejournal.com 2006-06-01 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
Eep! Okay, I'll be good. I'd hate to be told off. Kev, on the other hand, would laugh his ass off.

But don't you just feel better about everything? Telling Kevin, the job, and all that stuff?

Oh, and welcome back!

[identity profile] ex-will-port106.livejournal.com 2006-06-01 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
*grins* Thanks! And I feel incredibly good about having everything out in the open. I'm pretty sure it'll all work out for the best, too. In a little while I'll tell Kevin I quit today and then we'll just go from there.

*grins* Sounds like an excellent plan.

[identity profile] ex-will-port106.livejournal.com 2006-06-01 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
I'm pleased with it. *smiles* How're you doing?

[identity profile] lt-wes-janson.livejournal.com 2006-06-01 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
Okay for the most part, although I'm a bit down cause I have to miss Aidan's birthday cause I'm off planet.

[identity profile] ex-will-port106.livejournal.com 2006-06-01 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
Oh man, I'm sorry to hear that. That really sucks. When do you get back?

[identity profile] lt-wes-janson.livejournal.com 2006-06-01 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
Not sure just yet. A few days to take care of business, then four days to get back to Terra, so at least a week.

Then you guys can have an awesome reunion and re-celebrate his birthday?

Congratulations!
You told Kevin, you formulated a plan, and you resigned. I hope Kevin and Wendell are proud of you!

I believe they are! So far things seem to be working out. I'm pretty excited.

Hey there, welcome back.

Glad to hear you talked with Kevin.

So, how are you feeling now about walking out? Any ideas on what you might like to do instead of the suit and tie thing?

[identity profile] ex-will-port106.livejournal.com 2006-06-04 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks!

I'm trying to think of things I'd rather do, but so far all I can think about is staying home. Maybe I need the motivation of boredom before I can really figure something out.

Enjoy having the extra time on your hands.

When you get desperate, tackle the task of doing all those things that you always put off till later. If your list is anything like mine, it will motivate you to find something else to do.

I think you're on to something there. Right now, all I do is watch a lot of TV and teach Wendell tricks. I should be more productive, right?

[identity profile] logan-maxwell.livejournal.com 2006-06-13 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
*shrugs* Who says? Unless you want to be more productive. But, if Kevin isn't complaining and you're comfortable...

[identity profile] ex-will-port106.livejournal.com 2006-06-16 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
So far everything seems to be rolling along pretty well. I could get used to being the wife.

[identity profile] logan-maxwell.livejournal.com 2006-06-17 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
Well, that's good. I'm happy for you. *smiles* Have you talked with Kevin about that option?
