Back to my Normally Scheduled Life

So I went into work today. I tried to be gracious and nice as I showed K my filing system, handed over important stuff, etc. I changed my voicemail to direct all inquiries to K. I had a cup of coffee. I checked my email.

It was only 10:30 AM.

I had no idea what I would do for the rest of the day. I fretted about this for a minute, then I decided to just go. Life is short, I figured, why hang around all day being nervous and feeling uncomfortable (although trying like hell not to show it) when everything I can think to do is done and the world outside is a-callin' me?

So I made my "goodbye, see ya later, it's been a pleasure" rounds. People were surprised to see I was leaving. Except my boss and K, of course.

K was uncharacteristically short with me, "Oh, if it makes you feel better to leave, go ahead."

Uh... "It does make me feel better," I said. DUH DUH DUH, has she never been fired before?

I'm home now, officially unemployed and I feel alright about the whole thing. I have a lot to take care of around the house and I don't think the "findajob" worry will start to take hold for another couple weeks or so.
