So. All has been quiet on the business front, except for boring niggling details here and there, and I decided not to wear y’all out with babbling about it endlessly.

But today was the real decision point. I signed the contract, but the County wouldn’t execute it until the Board of Supervisors formally approved the expense. I went and sat in on the meeting this morning so that I could know my fate as soon as possible.

It was approved with twenty other list items in about five seconds, after sitting through some presentation that went in one ear and out the other. How anticlimatic.

So I rushed back to my office and immediately quit my job. I yanked that net right out from under me, and I’m stepping out on the high wire on August 1st!

I’m all sorts of nervous, yes, but that’ll settle down. The details I have left to manage will calm me some, and then just getting down to doing the work will be fine. I do have to wonder though, what was I thinking, starting a physical, outdoor job in August? Clearly, I’m insane.

But I’m insane and my own boss.
