you don't know how good it felt to drive away from work yesterday. i had to resist the urge to do cartwheels (not because i thought it would be inappropriate - more that i can't do a cartwheel). it was weird, packing up my stuff, knowing that i'd never work in that basement again. saying goodbye to the families, talking of my plans. very strange, yet very, very liberating. my three lawyers took me to cioppino's in yaletown for lunch - i would've been happy if they had taken me to the cactus club but that shows you how high-end my tastes are. the food was okay - the server was a bit over-the-top (even the other servers rolled their eyes at him behind his back). the chocolate creme brulee was out of this world. i know someone with a creme brulee blow torch (whom I laughed at when she bought it) that might be interested in making it :)
at the same time as the realization that i would not be working for the company in the same capacity as i am now washed over me, a very frightening truth also came hurtling at me: i'm going to a job where i don't know anything. i hate that. i don't know how i'm going to get to the train station on monday (should i drive or should i take the bus?). i don't know what they'll expect from me on my first day...first week. i don't even have anything to wear. this is a disaster. what have i done???
the only comfort that i have is knowing that i left my current job with no regrets. that's gotta count for something, right?
