My First Day of “Freedom”
Well yesterday was my last day of work. The powers that be, decided that they couldn’t “afford” the 2 extra days of notice that I gave them. They can’t…because the office is overstaffed by 2 people. It’s too bad, because I was still working like I planned on retiring there, since that’s how I am. Their loss.
I went out last night with a (now, former) co-worker, the only person (besides the new temp they brought on prematurely) that I actually liked in the whole place. She runs a bar at a resort here at night and had a day off, so we went and hung out at the pool and sat in the hot tub unwinding. I smell like chlorine, and yes, I showered! It was a nice way to end the day, I was pretty relaxed when I got home. I needed that. Shes a hoot.
Usually when I leave a company, I feel even the tiniest bit of a loss. I feel nothing, absolutely nothing. I would say that this was definitely the right thing to do.
So to celebrate my first day of freedom, I had the pest control guy knocking on our door at 7:30am. So much for sleeping in. And I have a full day of buying cat food, shuffling Ashlyn off to various appointments… nope, I don’t see a day of rest in here anywhere. Do you? LOL

Well, good for you! I can relate too well to the pest control morning alarm routine! LOL As always, I enjoyed my visit and tend to find myself nodding in agreement with so much that you share.
Hugs,
Holly
Hey! It’s so nice to see you!

I’m glad you can leave there without remorse, and knowing that you had integrity in your job performance.
Now it’s on to grander things!

Delurking to say that I felt the same way after leaving my last job. No remorse. I swear that being at home I end up getting up earlier with the kids than I did for work! Or my personal favorite is when family think that “since you don’t work” I could wait for their pest control guy! *sigh*
Best of luck to you! love the blog

Who the hell scheduled the bug guy for 7:00 am? Yikes! My bug guy is soooo nice, and he always comes after 8:30 am.
