Getting out of the cold

It's so cold in Washington today. It is about 20 degrees our right now at 1030pm. There's about an inch of snow on the ground. I like the snow, but the knowledge that it'll warm up to 33 and rain any day now makes me look forward to some warm weather in Samoa.
I was at Jerry's last night and I was lucky that I brought some long underwear. I think that was the only thing that allowed me to live through the night in Jerry's igloo apartment.

So I'm only a few days removed from finding out that I got the job in Samoa. After being told that I'd probably be offered the job a couple weeks ago, I had pretty much convinced myself that I'd be going to Samoa. I did a lot of research about the job and the place and I was getting pretty excited. I'd get lots of trial experience. Plus, I'd get to live in the tropics for a couple years. What a great deal. I'd worked myself up about it, but then once I hadn't heard back, I was starting to get nervous. It was a big relief to get it confirmed.

So, now I'm trying to figure out the best day to head out there. I get to spend a couple days in Hawaii on the way out. I was thinking that the day after the Super Bowl would be a good day so that I could have a few days on Oahu then head out to Samoa on a Friday and have the weekend to get my shit together a little before going to work. But, if the 'Hawks are in it, I may need some recovery. So now I'm thinking maybe the next week.
