I ain't workin' here no more

I am probably the happiest unemployed person walking the face of the earth. Friday was my last day at my corporate soul-sucking job and I've never felt better since I told my former boss to take this job and shove it. Not in so many words, of course, but she got the idea. I as able to screw her over pretty bad without compromising my integrity or morals or any of that good stuff. I even went over and beyond what was expected of me trying to train my replacement but when she decided she didn't want the job after all and never came back, well, that's not my fault, is it? I do feel a little guilty for getting some sick pleasure out of seeing the former boss-lady squirm. I left the building at the end of the day practically doing cartwheels in the parking lot while shouting "I'm free! I'm free!"

I will tell you one thing, however, having the CEO of the company personally ask what he could do to keep me felt pretty good. Telling him "nothing" felt even better.

Monday marks a new chapter in my life. I plan on focusing on getting myself healthy, mentally and physically. I sprung for a new pair of running shoes this afternoon and for the first time in a long time, I really want to run. This is a very big deal for me. I hope to keep myself getting up early and out the door like normal people while I'm not working. I don't want to let myself become secluded in my apartment for the next two weeks while I'm waiting for school to start. That would most definitely be a step in the wrong direction.
