On the Eve of Standing Down
After 6888 days at one job, the day is finally arriving tomorrow when I will not need to wake up at 6am and fight the traffic to head to the office. It took its sweet time getting here, but as I sit and type this, it really hasn’t sunk in that I will be out of the rat race at least until December 31st of this year, when the severance payments stop and I am on my own, as far as income is concerned. It is both exciting and scary at the same time looking into the unknown and wondering just how I will feel when I walk out of the door for the very last time and not see the people, some whom I have seen and have driven me absolutely insane with their inability to operate a computer for all of those days. Will it be relief? Will I rush down the stairs, into the parking lot, start my car and leave skid marks on the asphalt? Or will I sneak out of there, avoiding as many people as I can? We shall soon find out.
Wish me luck as I dive deep into self employment.
