Lame Duck

I gave my two weeks' notice two weeks ago. Tomorrow is my last day. I've been at my company almost six years. This was my first 'real' job. There were times when I liked my job and times when it was brutal. Now I'm leaving. The last two weeks have been really cushy. No work. Just play and taking care of some administrative stuff.

I have some time off before starting my new job, which is why I'm taking a trip to Japan. I'm really looking forward to it. It'll be my first trip where I'm not researching and planning down to the details. I'm just going to go with the flow. I have the general stuff planned out (i.e., where I'll be staying), but not much more than that. It'll certainly be a change, a personality experiment, considering I can be sort of a control freak.

it'll be the greatest! Can't believe I can't identify you with the big "L" anymore! You were the last one of that class for me (sniff sniff). Just think, I was with you when you first started.... :-)
Have a wonderful time in Japan. You will have a wonderful time!!!!!

JEM: I can't believe that in my time at the big "L," you worked there, quit and went to school, graduated from school and got a job. I felt like such a granny. It was as if everything around me was changing and yet I stayed the same.
