This is going to be a live blogging experience...in which I quit my job.
Oh boy.
I've solidified my new server position and will start training after work this month. Now, my boss finally returned from his lengthy business trip and I am planning on giving my notice. Last day? June 1st.
Right now, he's in a meeting and I'm sweating. I know he isn't expecting this and truth be told, I have no grudge against Soul Crushing, Inc. I've never given notice before though. I mean, I've quit jobs but for obvious reasons like school or moving. So this is new territory for me.
I also need to tell my manager. Sorry, let me clarify. I have a manager (whom I share an office with, how effed up is that?) and then we both have someone who oversees us. I'm going to talk to Head Honcho first and then tell my Lady Boss.
It's 9:47. Head Honcho is in a meeting until 10. I don't know why I get so anxious about confrontation! I can feel my heart thumping and I can't keep my hands still (one of the reasons why I'm writing right now). Also Lady Boss has been yapping on the phone with a friend since I came in this morning and it's really starting to grate on my nerves.
9:54. If she doesn't shut the fuck up, my head may explode. Also, I have to pee.
9:56. Uh oh, she's about to get off the phone. Going to hide in the bathroom.
10:08. Dammit! She cornered me. I'm 22! I don't want to hear about your kids.
10:13. Trying to sneak away.
10:14. Okay, here goes!
10:33. Whew. I did it. Still sweating, but I feel better. Head Honcho was very understanding. Lady Boss is back on the phone. I'm waiting for her to get off it now so I can tell her. It's like ripping off a Bandaid. I'm on a roll, ready to get it done.
11:02. And it's done! Well, Lady Boss took it surprisingly well.
I feel relieved, honestly. I think I'll have a little freak out when I have all this free time on my hands now, but I really am looking forward to sitting down and giving my writing everything I have. It's time to focus on what I want. For once.
