Still waiting....
No "OFFICIAL" letter yet.... apparently there is some beauracracy that they are grappling with (seeing as I used to work there, I know how common that is) that has to do with making room in next year's budget for my salary. It's a big bummer, because it means that I need to continue working here throughout the week, and we are SWAMPED with work -- I don't want to work anymore 12+ hour work days!!! Today & tomorrow are busy, but Wednesday is quieter. If they got the letter done today and FedEx'd it overnight, I would have it Tuesday after work and could have resigned on Wednesday morning, a relatively light work-day. Thursday & Friday are both very busy and I don't want to drop a bomb on them when they are swamped... so I would probably resign on Friday afternoon, after I got most of the work done. I really need to resign this week, because I am supposed to be flying to Vegas on Sunday for an industry conference next week. Kind of pointless to go meet a bunch of electric management teams.
I'm tempted to just quit and hope that the official contract contains everything I was told verbally, but that isn't very smart.... very tempting though.....
