Additional follow up:

2/13 will be the last day for me at the store in Vegas. My regular two days off, then I leave LV with a heavy heart 2/16, ten days' paid vacation, then a month of unpaid leave to hook up with another WM ( lots of delays allegedly, which I gather will disappear as I show up... or not.)If no joy by then, I turn in my notice anyway and let the chips fall.

I won't quite be as broke as seems. WM has a new policy about accrued vacation time, and I haven't taken one in ten years. Translates into a nice payout come 2/9. And if I have to quit, the unused personal days (separate item) add up to another cash-out of some size.

Still aiming for Manchester, and I know a guy in Lenoir City from silver investing. My goal is to light out 2/17 and get out there the 20th or so. Stopping in places with internet to keep people apprised.

Yr ob'nt and surly
