Two more days.
I am literally feeling the weight of the world being tossed (flung) off my shoulders with each passing day.
"No one to cover Memorial Day? Better call (my fill-in), I am done on Friday."
"So and so's dad died and can't work all week? I am so sorry, better call (my fill-in)."
"You are having a mental break down and on self-commitment for 72 hours? Oh no, take care of yourself, I will inform (my fill-in)."
I am not exaggerating, all three of those things happened just this week. It's all the time with staff. All. The. Time. Only on their weekends to work, though, which always strikes me as suspicious, but, wait, let me pick that concern up off my shoulders and give it a good TOSS.... Ahhh... that feels better.
My new boss emailed me today that she hopes I didn't forget about them, and that she is very excited for me to join their team. I replied I was excited, too. It's like I am leaving a dark, sad cave for the bright world again. I know it will come with new worries and concerns, but none will take place after 4:30 pm, on weekends, or on Holidays, so, it's all good in my book.
My job is a mean's to enjoy my life, I don't need it to "be" my life.
My STBXB has been great. I am trying to decide what to do for her on my last day. A card, for sure. Maybe a gift card to get a couple drinks at a local establishment. I am sure she will need them in the coming weeks. Seeing them scramble for staffing for this coming holiday weekend has me feeling a tinge guilty - oh, wait, nope - I tossed that already. Not my circus anymore!!
