Checking in daily to maintain focus #63

The outpouring of goodbyes from people who are not obliged to say goodbye to me (i.e, my own companies colleagues who don’t truly know me one bit) has been humbling. Calls from people I work with in different companies from San Francisco to New York to the Czech Republic and Dubai has warmed my prune like heart today.

Four hours left, I’ll take lunch now. They advised me they will completely cut me off from the server and remote access at 6pm tonight :rofl: said in as nice a way as that can be said :rofl:. That scuppers my devious campaign to extract the meaning of the world from them, incognito. :roll_eyes::roll_eyes:

… My boss called me and I wasn’t expecting it. He asked how I felt about my last day, and honestly some times I genuinely forget myself and are too honest…

The silence after saying “it honestly couldn’t have come soon enough” was deafening. I didn’t soften it or offer an explanation or some meagre peaceful platitude, just hung it there for the guy to own. My partner is still laughing after overhearing the whole conversation. I’m here for this change in me. I don’t always need to make others comfortable.

Oh well. Greener grass, or more watering needed in my own yard.

Screw those who try to keep a thumb on your head. This world is big enough for all of us. :heart:

Amazing! I wish I had the guts to have said something like that when I left my last job. Sounds like well earned words on their end. Looking forward to hearing about your next adventures! For now, enjoy the freedom.

Congratulations :clap::tada::clap:.

Maybe you could do what my daughter did and use a phone and change the sound into hideous cockerel cries. That gets you up pretty fast.

Thank you James. My industry is very gossipy so I’ve always been the good girl and towed the line. But the honest truth is that I’m one of the best in my line. I know that. My reputation is better than their reputation. I know that, fact.

Screw the man!

Happy Friday all! Today is a good day to have on purpose. Thankful I found out I am still a permanent employee with the school board. There was a big mixup in communication. So very thankful! Planning on returning full time God willing in the fall. In the meantime I will supply in schools closer to home.

Strong and Serene 24 all! :yellow_heart::pray:t5:

I feel like this is going so slow. I have been having so much thoughts and temptations about acting out. I don’t know how to let go. Just got to keep going one day at a time.
