I started this morning out in sort of a foul temper. Not for any particular reason other than that it's Monday, it's muggy, and it's Monday. My Facebook status read:
Dear Monday,
I hate you.

As soon as I walked in my boss was waiting for me to inform me that today was the day! The day we have all been awaiting for 3 years. The day we finally get our final 60 day termination notices! So I punched in and got the great news, after just over 10 years I will finally be done with this place on (or before) October 15, 2010. This works out perfectly. If I finish up before then I will continue to collect a weekly paycheck until 10/15 without actually having to come in (best case scenario), or I work up to the end and collect my severance package the week after the 15th (worst case scenario). Either way it is win/win. I will finish up, take a week off, and then the international girl of mystery and I are off to a much needed vacation in Jamaica for a week!!! ZOMG! Then I will come back and start looking for a nice gig that will allow me time to focus on school a little more while still having a little income. Plan is to not live off my severance but bank it and let it grow a little.
This calls for a happy dance!
Congrats, old friend. It's been along time coming, and hopefully it'll be all you dreamed it would be, the day after. Persevering for a decade at a place you don't care for is a guarantee of a happy afterlife.
ReplyDeleteYou know, if there actually was an afterlife (haha).
