PCS- Setting up a satellite office

I was a little nervous about telling my boss I was moving.  Truth is, she's more like a really good friend than a boss.  And I really hadn't been working that long with her when we got orders to move.  So I wasn't sure how she'd take the news of us moving.  She's had really bad staff in the past and she's now got 2 paralegals, Brenda is my partner in crime, and she's really understanding how smoothly her office can run when you have efficient help.  So I told her....Brenda already knew.  The thing about Brenda and me....well, we are really close and so I told her before Janna because she and I have a friendship that has been a long one.  Anyway, I told Janna and also said that I would do contract work for her until she found someone she was comfortable with to take my place.  Then she asked me how long I wanted to work for them.  I told her as long as she needed me and that I really didn't want to leave the firm.  Then she said "How about setting up a satellite office in your home there?  You could set everything up online and work from home."  It just kinda flourished into this opportunity I was really beginning to like the sound of.  Turth is, I've never really had a boss who was willing to do something like this for me.  The last boss I had just either gave me money or bought me stuff when she thought I was unhappy.  I want a boss that values me so much she's willing to spend extra money to keep me....and that is exactly what I got.

So, I've been busy setting up everything we need to to make sure I can function from home.  I've been making alot of checklists!  I like lists...I'm such a nerd...but that's a different story.  :) We've also hired an in office person...basically someone who can do the stuff in the office that I can't because I'm not physically there.  And she fits in well in the office so that's a blessing!  I have started Adventures in North Carolina!  I am going to blog along the way and hopefully it'll be some amusement for y'all!
