The last two words that anyone wants to hear when coming off a week's vacation.
I just went through 8 days of work email to get a jump on my day tomorrow so it isn't as hideous as I would imagine it will be. The confusion is not as bad as I thought from the emails that I have read. Now I might hear otherwise tomorrow but today....it looks like folks were challenged but not overwhelmed. There are a few folks who simply can't follow directions even when they are spelled out in a document written at a 5th grade level. HA! And these are the folks that we are allowing to make application changes to our environment! Amazing!
Is it too early to say.....is it Friday yet?

Resigning with flair
I guess anyone who has resigned from a job has mentally positioned themselves the night before on how it will happen and what type of emotion they will let leak out. If you are leaving a position for your best interests, you don't want to appear too happy yet you don't want to look like you are attending your best friend's funeral. I mean.....you don't want to burn any bridges so skipping out of your boss' office might be a bit carefree. After all.......you didn't win the lottery......you still have to work for a living. Leave the skipping for the big Powerball win.
Tomorrow, I will turn in my resignation to a company where I have worked for over 18 years. It kinda feels like a marriage after all this time. In this case, this is a separation that needs to happen for me. I have lost confidence in the executives leading "the cause" and I have waited around much to long for my next promotion. I am not a slacker by any means and I am packing up my toys (aka. experience) and moving on to another playground - one that is a bit smaller and less crowded.
After 18 years.....you get to know a lot of people and you have a groove that you settle into. There are people who I will miss and there will be people who I would much rather forget. In the same regard I am sure there are some who will feel the same about me. Either way, I am making a move at a time in my life where it feels absolutely right. It's now or never - Eat or be eaten. Those who know me well know that I always enjoy a good meal.
So tonight it is about formulating my thoughts and measuring my words so I that can leave this company respectfully. I am closing this chapter in the book of my life. No hard feelings.......it's just not working for me anymore.
Sometimes the best thing you can do is simply lay down the pen and walk away...........
