they turned down my request for a leave of absence... so I resigned. I felt happy secretly, since the whole leave of absence idea was just a ploy to leave nicely, I don't really want to go back, unless it's the last job on earth, or it magically changes into dream company while I'm on my sabbatical, or the great insight that I get while unemployed is that I really DON'T deserve any better after all, or hell freezes over.
I was still ambiguous about my end date, saying I want to do everything I can to help the transition, etc (a bunch of crap, I'm just trying to be nice due to aforementioned remote possibility that I might want to work for them again).
It's either one week from now, which would be a little tacky, although I did bring this up last week, it was in this ambiguous state for a week; or else 2 more weeks. Yuck, 2 weeks sounds like such a long time. I can barely occupy myself for 6-7 hours as it is.
I haven't yet made a general announcement. Only a few people know.
Here it comes.... my 6-12 months of voluntary unemployment! Yay. Scary yet exciting. I did it! Finally!
How long have I been talking about this? At least since christmas, maybe longer.
Just one tiny little step.. telling my boss's boss, the guy who hired me. My actual boss will be out for 2 weeks. Good, no possibility to finally explode and say anything negative. Cause you know, it's not you, it's me. It's just a personal thing, nothing against the company. Hahahahah evil laugh.
