Goodbye House

we left the house yesterday. the buyer’s inspector was just showing up. let’s hope that went well.

also trashed my home-improvement shoes. lots of miles on these, all within the boundaries of this lot (well, and to the dump & back)

moving toward moving

so, we’re getting there. slower than i would have liked, but we’re getting there.

first, news: the house is subject to inspection. so, hopefully all will go well tuesday and we will have sold our house.

second, carrie is back in town and helping me to liquidate our remaining possessions here. we’re hoping to have it all sorted out by tomorrow.

third, that means that on sunday, we could leave on our 2nd trip. i will blog about it here, but the second trip will be the “fun” one.

last time i have to…

so, for the past few weeks i’ve been aware of random things that were the “last time i have to” do something. like – last time i fly into SEATAC (well, last time i fly home to SEATAC).

yesterday was: last time i ride the bus to/from work. today has been full of lasts. last time i post to my corporate blog, last time i attend my daily meeting. last time i get coffee @ the starbucks downstairs. last time i get water from the water filter machine. heh.

in about 20 minutes, it’ll be the last time leave the 39th floor. gonna miss the view, that’s for sure.

the containers have arrived, have been emptied

so, carrie reports to me that the local movers she hired in manchester have unloaded the UPack containers from ABF, and the containers have been removed.

if you don’t know what i’m talking about, we moved in these (well, we only needed 2 of the 3):

more about work…

so, i’m not exactly certain why i said i’d comment on this later – but here we go. i gave notice, in 2 weeks i’m done working @ WaMu. it’s been almost 5 years, and there have been good and bad moments of course.

mostly, i think i’ve enjoyed seeing the evolution of online financial management applications over the years. i wish i could talk about the next generation — the one i’m building right now (for the next 2 weeks, anyway.) but i can’t talk about it yet. just rest assured – that it will be beautiful, intuitive, and FAST.

today: gave notice, drank much.

so, this is it. i can finally talk publicly about our plans. to all the 3 people that read my blog (hi mom, hi ma, hi hon!)

anyway. today i gave notice, in two weeks time i will no longer be an employee of the huge corporate overlord bank that i currently work for. i’ll comment about that later.

america is vast

this will all be made clearer very soon, but let me say, after returning from my “vacation”

america is vast.

yay! the spammers love me.

so, the spammers decided to send emails out with @mikeyboy.com domain names as the return address. if this is your first time reading mikeyboy.com due to one of these emails – congratulations! you found my mundane weblog about random boring crap that happens to me.

but i didn’t email you about viagra or stock tips. sorry.

stone cold!

yeah, here’s what i’ve been doing for the past week. i even managed to grievously injure myself in the process! read through to see all the progress.

9 yards of stone

our new garage door

so, we purchased a garage door. it was a demo unit at a local door store called, “the door house.” their retail store is painted purple with multi colored stripes and accents. guess what the demo door we purchased looks like?

NEEDS. PRIMER. NOW.
