Yes I did!

I did it! I quit my job! On Thursday, June 8th at 8:00am. I sent an email with the Subject: Resignation. It was short, to the point and reluctantly I even added some flattery at the end. I know, but I didn't want to burn the bridge. My boss (not the perv who sexually harassed me - the other one) sent me an email back stating that he was sad to see me go but that he understood and that he would like to meet up to discuss the details. I met him for lunch that same day and we had a good discussion. He started asking me all these questions about what is the one thing that I would change about the company, where did I see the company evolving next, who did I think the weakest link was??? After the third question I asked him, "Are you paying me for this lunch?" He laughed. He asked me to come back to the office and give a speech. I followed him back to the office and once I reached he gave me a temporary password to my old computer so that I could send out an email to everyone in the office letting them know that I was leaving and to meet in the conference room in 10 minutes. I went around and said my goodbyes.

Oh YES!

Well, I may be able to quit even sooner! I got my commission check Friday, which was a few days early! As soon as that baby clears, I'm home free! I can almost taste the sweetness of my newfound freedom. I have so many emotions inside of me it's hard to explain how I'm feeling right now. All I know is that this is my destiny. I have never felt so sure about something. Well, I might have but I really feel very sure. Did you ever look, say, or think of a word so much that it doesn't look right?

Anyway, I digress, I'm thinking Tuesday. Tuesday I quit. The 6th! I've been trying to think of what to say, how to say it. Should I give a list of reasons, or just simply say, "I need to move on, things are just not working out for me anymore." Quiting your job is similar to breaking up with someone, except you are breaking up with a whole company. First, I will have to breakup with my boss, then I will have to break the news to all of my co-workers. I do like the people I work with and I think some of them will still keep in touch.

But it's funny, I'm not all that stressed out about what I'm going to say anymore. I am definitely going to keep it simple. Ahh simple, life has been anything but at my company. It's so damn stressful there I thought my shoulders had permanently moved up to my ears.
