Today I...
...handed in my resignation.
I strolled in at twenty to 10 this morning, and, after putting my stuff down and taking a pee, I went to The Asshole's (that what I call my boss on LJ) office and handed in my resignation letter. The letter basically said that I was submitting my notice, and that the changes within the organization, particularly the commission structure, made it very attractive for me to open my own business.
All I said when I gave him the letter was "I'm submitting my 2 weeks notice today." He asked when my last day was and I said "November 5th...I wanted to give a full 2 weeks."
He wrote "11/5" on the letter, glanced at it, said "thank you," turned away, and that was it.
I walked out.
Part of me was glad I got such a "fuck you," because it makes it easier for me to lesve. The other part was a little hurt. Granted, we never got along, but shit, man, rise above and do the right thing.
Fucker.
Everyone else (save for one person who is the official Office Prophet of Doom) was very positive and at least outwardly behaved happy towards me.
Still, I have put 15.5 years into the place. I was just a kid when I started...it was only my second full time job out of college. I was still a baby...I was only 24.
I have sat at the same desk and had the same computer and phone.
Had I gone into next year, I would have been eligible for 4 weeks vacation.
Part of me says I wasted it...gave it away.
The other part says I will no longer be working for a boss anymore...that The Asshole can't touch me now. I can walk in at twenty to ten for the next few weeks and there is nothing he can do...
I will now have my own set of problems - but they will be mine.
Meanwhile The Asshole, who is a male chauvenist, will still be there, having to kiss a woman's butt...a woman who is only a few months older than I.
Still, it is a mixed emotion.
On my second glass of chardonney.
