28 Boeing Days Left
I’m at work and the reminder on my calendar states, 28 Boeing Days Left. This does not include the time I’m taking off for the holidays (Thanksgiving and Christmas). It would seem that I can’t wait to leave my job. Sometimes I feel that way…but mostly I think I’m going to miss the feeling of accomplishment, and the camaraderie you have with other worker bees in the work place. I just picked up a new project. Yes!!! And, with me leaving, another has been pulled in, in order to be completed before I leave. When I gave my notice the 2nd time…the manager I work for was like, “you could still change your mind”, and stated that I wouldn’t, but then he says, “but there is the possibility”. So…I had to concede that in the realm of possibilities; that it was possible, but highly unlikely. My husband can’t wait to get me over there…as he has been there for the past 18 months and got a little irritated when I stated I wasn’t going. He gave me the choice…but in his heart he wants me near…and you can’t have a long distance marriage for too long. So, I will have to spend the month of December preparing my job for someone else. L I work for The Boeing Company. And, if you ever ever ever want to work for a huge corporate giant…they’re one of the best. I have no complaints against Boeing; in fact, there is indeed a lot I will miss.

Hey,
Your post reminds me of the countdown timer I have in my iGoogle. It says 0: 13: 17: 08:07 which is about 13 h and 18 min to finish my exams (smile). Sometimes I feel exhausted and blame myself "why did I come hear to study" or "I should've studied in KSA'' or even "Oh I cannot stand it anymore". But when I think that I have a goal to achieve and I have a beautiful wife besides me, encourages me or even stays awake all night to provide me with a worm company while I'm studying or writing an assignment, then I feel that I did choose the right way.
Luckily now it's 13 h and 10 min (big smile).
Don't worry, It will be a nice experience for you.
Having that person there to support you, can make all the difference in the world. And, like you said, you have a goal to achieve. For us, this move will allow us to do (now and in the future) things we wouldn't be able to do, or would have a hard time doing, in the states. This is mainly related to money...even though we do well, cost of living is high and taxes are higher. So I have to support my husband when he's doing this to make our future better. And, besides...it's different, it's an adventure, it's life experience.
