Today was the last day of
my normal schedule at the "day job". I was going to go to the party that was going on at the local bar, but I decided not to...since I can't say good-bye to a project that I am still working on. But come June 14th...oh Buddy!
It's going to be weird to head into work Monday not only an hour and a half later than I'm used to, but to work with people I haven't worked with in ages. We'll see if it's a good thing that I stayed with the project or not soon enough.
I have never been so glad to see a weekend in my life. This week has been draining. One of my workmates wrote a letter to the project, basically outlining her feelings about the project ending and having to switch to a new project. It made people cry.
It made me want to get out my red ink pen. ***smack*** BAD CO-WORKER! BAD!
It was a nice letter..with a nice sentiment. It's just that it was so PollyAnna-ish it made my teeth itch. I kept waiting for the whole project to break into "Tomorrow" or hold hands and sing "Kumbaya". You all know that I am not thrilled about the project ending, but I didn't shed any tears over it, nor did I feel the need to tell everyone that things will work out, and we'll all grow from the experience. Maybe because for me, it's just a job. It's one of the best non-writing jobs I've ever had, and most certainly one of the best paying, but ultimately it's not something that I plan to do for the rest of my life. Now, if it were a newspaper, and I was forced to go from writing articles to obituaries...THEN maybe I would shed some tears.
Well, I'm going to go and try to do some work on my novel...I have to get up early tomorrow morning...go to the bank, do some shopping, and drop Taylor off at the hairdresser. While she's getting coiffed...and costing me $90 -- yeah, you read that right -- NINETY DOLLARS, I'm going to sit in a nearby coffee shop and hopefully get some writing done.
Perhaps I'll check in this weekend...if not, I'll probably see you Monday. Have great weekends everyone! :-)
