| "Announcing I Am Quitting My Job" |
Pathetic whine - does anyone have a spare ticket for Opening Night at the SF Gay & Lesbian Film Festival?
Okay - pathetic whine over with, it has been quite a day. I finally got the written offer for my new job. It was a big relief. I mean I knew for sure it was going to come, but until it did I also knew it would be foolish to make any announcements or major changes. Finally, I could tell my boss and all the people I manage and work with. I've been there over six and a half years, so it was quite a big deal to tell people. I was, to be honest, kind of taken aback at peoples' reactions. I think we always undervalue the impact we have on others. Ok - at least I tend to. I know every year, when it comes round to review time, I'm sure I'm going to get a bad review, no matter that every year I'm dead wrong.When I got home, I felt duty bound to celebrate, but after I'd gotten back from a run along the Embarcadero, I was so drained mentally and physically that I opted for a quiet night at home. I have so much to do at home too right now - both planning for my trip, and for the new job, where I have to get a suit, shoes, shirts etc. I finally finished the itinerary for my trip, at least, so now I have some breathing room. Maybe I can even contemplate answering a few emails!
