"Michael's Last Day"

Seeing "Michael's last day" written on the big desk calendar suddenly made the whole leaving Target situation very real. Now that I can look at a specific date, there is a great sense of relief and a huge drop in the stress-meter. It's going to be important to have a few solid weeks before I ship out without having to worry about the goings-on in the backroom or stressing over confusing planograms. I think I threw the bosses for a bit of a loop, as they thought I would be on for a bit longer, but they'll get over it ^__^

I spent the day today playing my new Guitar Hero drum set, which is awesome. Yes, I know I'm about to leave in a few weeks and won't see any of my stuff for months, and that I probably shouldn't be getting new stuff this close to my departure, but a good deal's a good deal. I got the thing brand new for half the retail price from a cow-orker who apparently decided he didn't even want to try to learn the drums. His loss. I've actually been needing a new set (and new sticks) for a while now, as I managed to play my old Rock Band set to death. So I can now retire and replace that one. There was a bit of a learning curve at first on the new set, as it's arranged a bit differently, but it's really nice and so much better than the first-batch Rock Band drums. Kinda sad to say goodbye, though. We had fun together. T_T

Bed-time for me. I actually have to work tomorrow, which is crap. As long as I keep reminding myself that there are only two weeks left, I tend to be alright with whatever oddball things they come up with for me to do.
