vianegativa | Hiding and other small acts of cowardice

Well, its been nearly 5 days since I posted anything of substance on LJ, and it's high time I organized my thoughts a bit...

My whole lapse in journal keeping started Tuesday. I had a migraine from my glaucoma and decided to stay home. After a few hours of sleep, I awoke and decided that rather than facing an irate boss, I'd tender my resignation. I mean, I was quitting anyway, right?

I told my boss, also one of my best friends, that I'd be leaving my job by an e-mail.

Really slick & brave, eh?

Fast forward through two days of shiftless moping and restlessness to Thursday, after my job interview with thenew firm...

I thought I'd slip into the office after my boss had left; my boyfriend was installing an exchange server in the office and I figured I would slip in quietly and avoid any awkward exchanges with my boss or co-workers. As I strolled up to the door I heard the lively voices of John, my bf, and my boss and my co-worker Kent.

*Deep Breath*

I stood at the door a moment and tried to decide if I should leave or not, but decided after all to go in. As I walked in, everyone continued chatting amiably, and we fell into old conversations. After Kent left, my boss took us both out to dinner. It was apparent from the get-go that my boss held nothing against me, and for that I was a little relieved and surprised. We had a wonderful night out and I came home feeling my friendship with my boss would be healthy and vital for some time to come...

Now, if I could shake my feeling like an ass about HOW I left....
