TGIF

T.G.I.F.
Thank God it’s Friday. Thank God it’s February. Thank God I’m Free.

Yey. I just resigned. I’m officially a bum. Returned my stuff today in a box, just like what they do in the movies. Then I said my goodbyes to the people I have worked with in and out of Wyeth. Of course I sent out my short but sweet goodbye email to colleagues and bosses before they deleted my profile. I felt sad writing the email but felt so much better when I received emails from well-wisher friends.

Before officially beginning my life as a bum, I attended a meeting today endorsing my replacement. We were talking business and as always, I was committing a bunch of things that I would do as action points after the meeting. Then we all laughed. And my replacement took over from there. While they were discussing problems that need to be resolved, I was thinking “I don’t care…I don’t need to care anymore after today.” And that felt so good.

Then I started thinking about happier things I would be doing at home when I resign. Dorky domestic stuff like scrapbooking, playing Sims2, making collages and other arts and crafts, cooking Valentine’s dinner for my mom and dad on Vday, reading books in the big comfy couch, playing PSP in my bed. And that felt so good.

Then I emailed lists of things to do to my replacements. And then I finished and just stared around and didn’t know what to do next. Cause I didn’t have anything to do anymore. And that felt so good.

And I thought about what I’m going to do tomorrow, which usually involves a bit of work (despite it being a Saturday) and realized that it’s just gonna be a laid-back Saturday with friends. And that felt so good.

I have to admit, I was anxious at first about this stage in my life. Kinda scared to not have a steady income after so many years. Kinda scared about what lies ahead. But I think about this scene that I play over and over in my head when I miss Chev. It involves the arrivals gate at LAX, Chev and a lot of hugs and laughs…And that felt so good.

It’s the first Friday of February. I just had a McDonald’s happy meal while watching Zathura on HBO. I’m closer to seeing my Chevy. I feel like a kid after the last quarter exams. I feel so free.

And that just feels SO DARN GOOD.
