Expiration date

Today I told my boss wished to terminate my job. No more "work sucks" blogs... not after June anyway. June is when I told my boss I'd be leaving. To pursue "better things" aka higher education or just to "re-evaluate my life." It's not the two weeks' notice one would hope for... but then again I consider it a victory because I 1)broached the topic on my own accord and 2)did so without becoming the blubbering mess history would predict.

As much as I bitch and moan about my job, it's not by any means horrible. I don't have to do anything repugnant (although the whole socialization and engaging in palaver with coworkers can be a bit trying). And the piddling pay has always been enough to get by (the purchase of Target generics rather than brand names helps a lot in this arena).

And I really do have a great boss. She created a position for me and consistently encourages opportunities for growth. Plus she allows for flextime and comp hours, which means she hasn't fired my ass for showing up at work 2 hours late (although this also might be because she doesn't notice on account of being busier than Britney Spears or J. Lo's PR person).

So how does this "action plan" for 8 months from now affect my life today? A runner feels better seeing the finish line in sight, or at least knowing that an end exists. Now I'm not an athlete, so instead I breathe a sigh of relief that I'll never become the lady with the Tiffany's pen slowly signing her life away.
