In some respects, hell at work is when you give a thirty day notice.
Yesterday I was caught between a chuckle and wanting to say “actions have consequences - for both of us” when my boss saw I had put some desk things in a box and he said “You’re boxing things?” And frowned.
Yes, dude I’m boxing some things two weeks out. The decorative stuff I won’t be using or needing. No, I won’t be changing my mind and begging to rescind my notice so you can have the pleasure of either telling me No or bringing me to heel. You lost, because one of the most powerful words in the English language is “Goodbye”. Either that, or the dude is just really, really into his Mr. Nice Guy routine. Either way, I see you...
Theoretically, he should now be staying pretty much in his own space just the next state over until I go. We have just two more phone meets scheduled. Cool! June 13th can’t come fast enough.
I pulled a pic out of my desk yesterday of Brian. I put it away right after his Dx. It broke my heart. I held it a minute and worked to keep it together.
I’m headed back in today to shuffle more hard copy items from my desk. Spread, keep, file... I want to be ready when the day comes. Close the door, turn the page.
