Apr. 28th, 2012 09:46 pmI quit my job and Friday was my last day. I've spent much of today panicking about getting my life back on track because I have forgotten what it is like to relax.Ben thinks I'll let go in a few days and finally be sane again.
The last couple days of work were terrible. I learned I made a huge expensive mistake and everyone was really angry, but were pretending not to be because I was leaving. Honestly, I think they should have said something to me instead of pretending everything was ok. I wonder if they think I left because of the mistake.
The company was moving to a new office, so Friday we packed up everything for the move. I honestly think that was the most satisfying day of work I ever had at that company.
After I packed up my office, I went around picking up trash and emptying recycle bins for everyone. While doing that, I discovered two of my coworkers were still struggling to pack up their office. I returned after my trash run to help them pack up. With the help of the hr person and myself, the four of us got the entire office packed up in under 20 minutes. It was fairly impressive.
We all got to go home early after that. I ended up collapsing with relief in my bed for the rest of the afternoon. Ben took me to a celebratory dinner in the evening. We tried a nearby thai place that was pretty good.
I dreamed about rolling renewals last night. (Which, coincidentally is the big thing I messed up.) Working it out in my head all night, I have determined that rolling renewals are a terrible recommendation for smaller organizations due to the cost and time management needed. The steady revenue does not make up for the increased costs involved. So there. Brain, you can let go of it now.
I really hope I get over this job soon. I'm looking forward to feeling human again instead of a ball of stress and terror.
