Dino!

Things are really winding down at work. I have told all of my clients about my leaving except one, because I haven't seen them in a million years and they cancel all the time and they speak Vietnamese so I can't call them to tell them. It's been interesting because a lot of my clients have been really sad. One of my moms started to cry and I almost lost it, because really, how nice is that? Next week sometime I will write a letter to all of the parents of the kids in my playgroup and then that's pretty much it in terms of notifying folks.

I wish I could say that things are winding down in the world of packing, but HA HA HA that would be a total lie. I am determined to pack at least five boxes before Jen comes home tonight. My motivation, though? Severely lacking. I need someone to just come over and chat with me while I pack, no labor required. Help!

We have next to no dinner food in the house right now and I don't know what I'll make Jen for dinner tonight. I /think/ I have all of the makings for spanish rice so can probably throw that together but if we don't do some sort of grocery shopping soon I'm going to be eating things like canned tomatoes and frozen broccoli for dinner every night next week. Good times.

I have a bunch of stuff I need to give away on craiglist as well, including some VHS tapes. Does anyone even watch VHS tapes anymore? Maybe I can just donate them to the library or something. But I don't even know if the library even has VHS tapes anymore. I feel like such a dinosaur.

ROWR!

if you bring the VHS out here, you can sell them at turn it up! - a used record store in noho.

Yeah see, but the whole point is to get rid of them BEFORE I have to move them. :)

Want a DVD player? We have at least one in the basement that is not currently in use.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

No thanks. We already have two of them, one of which needs to go to craigslist as well. :)

I guess I wasn't clear on the dinosaur bit. Whoops!

The library will probably take them for their booksale. Most public libraries are focusing on DVDs for their collection at this point.

Good point. I will inquire.

Some poorer libraries may still be very grateful for VHS. I know Carrie's mom gave a bunch of ours to the library in Brockton.

Good idea! I will find out. Thanks!

I had similar experiences leaving my last social work job. And on my second to last day, I completely lost it while saying goodbye to a favorite kid and his family outside the courtroom where the judge had just reunified him with his mom (one of my goals for them -- she had bipolar illness, but could parent him). I call it my "Hallmark Hall of Fame Happy Ending."
