Well, I may have to resign from this club (sort of). Boss at megacorp is saying I cannot take off time around Christmas (which I want to do to visit MIL that has cancer, and likely her last Christmas), and also quit on the 31st. It makes sense, from their perspective.
So, I can either leave on 21st Dec, or 18th Jan (pushing me into the 2019 club). 21st Dec sounds attractive, but I would be giving up about $8k pay vs the other date. 18th Jan is yuck because 4 more weeks (3 of which would be of w*rk), but I get the $10k, the weather is cold then anyway. And, I suppose a year or two from now I will not care that I went another 4 weeks, but will care I have another $8k. If I do decide on 18th Jan, that will be CARVED IN STONE, and not changeable.
Oye, so close!
