Freedom

[randysmith]

Just to get *some* marker in my journal about this: My last day of work was this past Thursday, and I'm now officially free. I'm still a bit in shock; the last six weeks have been awesome--until this past week, very peaceful and happy and enjoying work; little bit of sadness, lot of relief, lot of looking forward to the coming time off. Now ... I'm not sure my gut's convinced yet that I'm actually not working any more :-}. But that's ok, it'll get there.

Current plan is unemployed through September, and start looking for a job in October. It's going to be an interesting summer :-}.

Yay! Congratulations on your much-anticipated voluntary unemployment! I hope you enjoy yourself, and that we can make some plans to be in the same place at the same time very soon *hugs*

Congratulations! I imagine it will take a while for your sense of self to really settle into "not working," but you have plenty of time for it to do so, while still having plenty of time in which to enjoy it. I have the time off is even more peaceful and happy and enjoyable as the last weeks of work were, with extra reenergizing and gaining of clarity for the future.

Here, have a work-related icon that is now completely irrelevant!

Thank you! We'll see how it goes--I'm feeling pretty positive at the moment.

And *yay* for completely irrelevant work icons! (I comments to psongster a couple of days ago in response to something that had happened at work "No stupid manager tricks for at least three months!"
