Gentle Readers,

It is my duty to inform you that I have been offered an Assistant Professorship at Middle Georgia College, an offer which I am taking. :) And because the chair of the Humanities Department is pretty much made of win, MGC is matching Waycross's offer! MATCHING!!!!! I was more than 100% sure I would be taking an income loss if MGC offered me the job. *is floored*

I now have less than 60 days in Oxford. OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

I am so happy.

Again the thanks for all the well wishes and the positive vibes and the occult rituals that you, Dear Readers, employed to get me, well, employed.

Now I have so much to do!!!! I spent this morning putting all the loose photographs into albums and next on the list is going through my closet. :)

So, help me out here, Y'all. I have a tentative list of all the things I think I need to do before we move and once we get to where we're moving, but I *know* I am leaving something off the list. So comment with your list of things I need to do now and later, please!!!!

*smushes you all*

Awesome. Congratulations, bay-bee.

*smoooch*

Let's see....call your new town and find out what you need to do to get the utilities turned on. Will you need a deposit? Will they need four days notice? What? As soon as you get your new address, fill out change of address/forwarding mail card at the post office. You can put in the dates you want the mail to start forwarding.

Call the phone company there if you're going to have a land line and find out the procedure for getting a line. You might, again, need a deposit. Look up the city online and see what the sanitation department is like - can you recycle? Do you need your own bins? If you're moving to an apartment, you'll probably just have a big dumpster for your building or whatever, though...

Tell your doc and get all your medical records. Either get a copy of everything or just have them sent along once you get moved. But them knowing ahead of time will probably help.

If you have any direct-from-the-bank kind of bills, call 'em up and make sure they know you're moving and that you might need a snail-mail bill for that transition time, until you get a new bank account. Unless you won't have to change banks, which would rock. We have to change banks - no branches of our current bank in the new town. Bah!

Start sorting your stuff *now*. Go through a room a week and weed out what doesn't need to move with you. Goodwill it or bin it and the other stuff? Pack it. Dust it, wash it, whatever, and pack it away. Tossing things are good for the soul! And i wouldn't make a list of what's in the box *on* the box. Maybe label them 'Living Room one' or something and put the list in a notebook. No point in advertising what you own. Yes, i am untrusting and paranoid.

Um. Can't think of anything else off the top of my head. Have fun planning!
*smoooch*

Oh yes! I had not thought of some of these things yet. Thank you. *adds to list*

We will have to change banks. There isn't a single branch of our bank in the whole of GA. LOL

Thank you so much, sweetie.

You're welcome!
I'm dreading changing banks. I love my bank.
*sigh*

I also love my bank, or at least the branch of it here in Oxford. I tend to get hysterical over money and these people handle my insanity very well. They are also competent, which goes a long way towards not making me crazy in the first place.
