After all that stress and imaginings of my imminent doom... nothing happened. She was (can you believe it) NICE! Gave me advice and encouragement and wished me all the best.
No sulphurous fumes ... no fiery torment.... no being poked with a pitch fork... all was cordial and serenity...
How very disappointing ... and here I thought I would be able to come back on here and spill forth my malice and feelings of injustice... oh well ...
Yay for a month and a bit of slavery!!
Then.... FREEEEDOM!!

Quitting your job
It is rather difficult deciding how one should drop the proverbial bomb on one's boss. Monday or Friday? Morning or Afternoon? Letter or Email? Meeting or chuck the letter at the boss and run? Decisions, decisions.... It would be so much easier if you could hire someone to do it for you, someone impartial who wouldn't mind receiving the brunt of the boss' wrath.
Any takers? No?
I have never had to give in my resignation ... so this is rather new to me. I do not relish the insanity that will ensue once I have broken the news, nor do I relish the idea of the full calendar month following said news breaking... From experience with applying for leave ... I can imagine it will not be pleasant.
Level 1 - Hell, Level 2 - Purgatory, Level 3 - Tartarus, Level 4 through 7 - Dante's Inferno
Maybe I could take the stairs?

Musings of a not exactly sound mind
Have you ever wondered why things are the way they are? Why certain things are expected of you?
They say women worry more about their accomplishments. By age 30 you are expected to be in a long term relationship... or married, with a career ... or a rich husband. Settled down, planning for the future and all that jazz.
I barely manage to plan a week in advance!
I have goals and aspirations, as do most people - vague and fanciful ones - but hell if I can get over that laziness that creeps in like a sly, slow-moving sloth. An affliction that, once deeply ensconced, is rather difficult to dislodge.
Every so often I manage to rid myself of the veil of lethargy and become a creature of purpose and drive. Sadly, those moments are short lived.
What is that saying: "The power of positive thinking."
Possible answer?
Perhaps ... perhaps not.

Vicky's Desert Island
Andrea's Capturing the Castle
Anyone seeing a theme here? Dragons, sorceresses... surrealism... as I have been told... Aquarians do NOT live in the world of rational normalcy... but in a world of their own. I think I would like this world, unless, of course, I got eaten by said dragon capturing said castle. That would be unpleasant.
Andrea's Sailing the Seven Seas
This one was done for Andrea ... probably also in 2008... or 2009 (I went through a phase of giving paintings as presents.) Anyone see a pirate ship on the horizon there? Captain Blood perhaps? Or Black Beard?
Yo ho ho and a bottle of RUM!
