making it official

i got an email from someone at school who noticed that i wasn't registered for classes, so i finally officially admitted that i wasn't coming back. so. there it is.

interestingly though, the state has an employee education program, and if i decided i wanted to go back and finish i could get them to pay for it as long as i remained a full-time employee (so i'd have to go to school part time) and signed a contract to continue working for the state for a certain number of years after i finished. there is actually a team of lawyers in my office, and most of the bosses of my division are lawyers too. so, if in a few years i'm still single and want to make a little more of my career i could get my j.d. for free and have a guaranteed job when i'm done. sounds like a good deal to me! we'll see... i like my job a lot, so i'm pretty satisfied right now, but it's nice to have good future options.

also, today i finally went to the department of licensing and managed to get them to believe i really am a washington resident. i didn't have much off the list of approved items to for residency since i don't pay my own utilities or anything, but i had a paystub (from the department of social and health services) and a letter about the state retirement program (i think from the department of revenue). usually those wouldn't count as separate things since they're from the same job, but the supervisor guy said it was okay since one could count as job related and the other could count as something gov't related since they were from different addresses and departments. *phew*

and my picture looks better than the one on my utah license. probably because i'm less fat now. after three months on my diet i'm beginning to make some more noticible progress. hopefully that will continue. i will keep working on it. maybe then i won't die a single fat girl... although i guess i could still be stuck a single skinny girl, but that would still be better...
