saying goodbye to employment

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

this coming week will be my last week of gainful employment (for now). but, wow! there’s pressure here because i’ve declared that some of my ills are rooted in the fact that i work from home. now i will have no excuses. i can get out and do whatever i like until i leave in december. HA, i guess i can to whatever i like after that – i will just be doing it in another country!

last week was my final visit to the corporate office, where i felt as if i was given the rare opportunity to attend my own funeral. i didn’t fare too badly! i was touched by everyone’s generosity and interest in my future endeavors: my “afterlife”. however, i think my travel plans are less understood than an intangible “afterlife” because we are talking about THIS life. I CONTROL MY DESTINY! you’ll just have to stay tuned to see what i discover. i only know this is what i need to do.

I’ve been fortunate enough to travel to some amazing places. with a sister living in africa, i’ve been able go places i would have never been able to access on my own. with generous vacation time i never allowed my vacation bank to grow too large. i hear about these people who actually lose vacation time they haven’t used and they are completely a mystery to me. The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page. –Augustine (354-430).
