I was originally supposed to resign from work tomorrow. That didn’t happen. I seem to be increasingly acquainted with Murphy’s Law these days. 

The boss mentioned to a co-worker that he was trying to not be in tomorrow. It was nothing short of a marathon of schenanagans from that point on. I didn’t have the letter with me, so I had to find a creative solution to get it ready, checked with the division secretary to get a conference room booked, and asked the boss if he wanted to talk about some of my programs. Yeah, that’s right I chickened out.

Why? Dunno. Don’t like disappointing people. Sad? Yes. 

Well, it worked out that the boss had another meeting and then lunch. After lunch, he was doing his POSH training. We finally got down to the conference room, but he also invited Lindsay. He dove right into the details of our projects, so I naturally went with it. Until that faithful question: “So, when can we send you to [the f-ing middle of no where south central] Crane [Indiana]?”

“Well, actually, I’ve accepted a position with another company and will be moving to DC later this month.”

Yeah, you can cheer. :)

The boss, as a true engineer, just nodded once, and it was pretty evident that his gears were spinning. “Hmmm.” We talked about transitioning Lindsay up to my place. Blah blah blah. 

Glad that’s over. On to new things!
