The Day After
First off, I want to thank all of you who have left me such wonderful messages of good will and well-wishes during the last two posts. It's nice to know that you guys are just as excited as I am with all of this. It's nice to have you along for the ups and downs, and yesterday was definitely both.
I went into the office today and gave my 30-day notice to my boss. She was really nice about it, and gave me some kind words as well. Most of my co-workers were also happy for me. I think they were in as much shock as I was or maybe they were happy to know that I was finally going to stop whining about not hearing from Seattle. In either case, it was surreal today to start to go through my cases and prepare them for transfer. To write e-mails to colleagues and clients telling them that I would have to cancel our meetings set in September because I would not be around. For the first time in over 12 years I'm going to be unemployed again and it scares the shit out of me! Two things that I desperately need to feel safe and content is a house and a job - and right now I'll have neither.
I came home and started making a list of the things we need to get done before we go. Responsibilities to be assigned and goals we need to make. I got up at 5:30 this morning because I had so many things running through my head - now all I want to do is go to bed and dream.
Why do I have the feeling that the next 60 days are going to fly by...
