Well, three counting today, which means after this weekend, I only have to go to work two more times and this nightmare is over.<\/p>\n<p>So, today, I got one of those &#8220;Where&#8217;s the XYZ Project?&#8221; to which, I&#8217;ll be honest that in the last few weeks with all of the different projects thrown at me to complete before I&#8217;m &#8220;allowed&#8221; to quit, it just slipped my mind. It&#8217;s not like I haven&#8217;t been swamped with everything else (which, sardonically, is the reason I&#8217;m quitting in the first place). So, after being shamed into realizing that I haven&#8217;t done it, I got one of those passive-aggressive conversations with the boss, where I just looked at her and thought, I really don&#8217;t care, so stop bothering me.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s kind of how I am right now. I&#8217;m trying to produce the things they need before I go, but let&#8217;s be honest, I have no incentive to do anything here other than the personal satisfaction of just getting something done. Before I quit, I was ready to leave the next day, which I didn&#8217;t do, and instead, I put in a month&#8217;s notice, and like I said, there are two full days left before I finally get to leave.<\/p>\n<p>The sad thing is that I liked this place beore all of this happened. I just can&#8217;t work with the person who took over. I tried, and let&#8217;s just say that some personalities don&#8217;t mesh, and I kind of knew that was going to happen when she stepped up from being a colleague and became the supervisor. I would not be very surprised to see the majority of the staff jump ship right after me. I know one is about to leave as well, although I don&#8217;t think anyone suspects she&#8217;s on the way out either. It will probably be one of those last minute things, something I was trying to avoid on my way out myself.<\/p>\n<p>But it&#8217;s so frustrating because I just want to walk out and leave. I know two or three days isn&#8217;t that much time, but when you have a discussion about your last day, where I basically said that&#8217;s when I clean up everything of mine and sort things out for leaving, being told &#8220;You&#8217;re still being paid to work, so what are you going to be doing&#8221; kind of gives you the thought of &#8220;Screw you, I&#8217;ll take a sick day then and you can throw my junk into the street.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But I won&#8217;t go there. Instead, I&#8217;ll try to get through these last few days and then I&#8217;ll start my journey of writing full time.<\/p>\n<p>And starving. Yikes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have three whole days left of work at my current job.
