If you saw my last post you will know that yesterday was supposed to be my second last day of work at TCH. Now I have been granted another week of work!
When I started working in September it was supposed to last until the end of the year. December 27th was to be my last day. Happily, it was extended and I prepared for January 16th to be my last day. It was extended again and I was going to be done on January 23rd. I packed up my grandbaby photos, my stapler and my inspirational cubical hanging. Yesterday they even had a lunch for me at Hubby's to say goodbye. I told the cat that next week I would be home with him, watching movies and reading books. (When I'm not figuring out what to do with the rest of my life)
I really like working, and I love the Tri-City Herald, so you won't hear me complain one tiny bit about my last day now being January 30th. Does this mean that it is really my 4th last day?
It would be easy to entertain the fantasy that I could just keep working at the Herald for many years to come, with one week extensions being granted each week, but I know better. I'm pretty sure next week will really be my last week. Maybe not forever. You never know what might happen.
I have been applying for jobs, but also keeping other options open. I've been thinking about going back to CBC and continuing on to get my AA. I am no longer afraid of Accounting 202! After all, I did 'the Algebra' and came out on the other side, unscarred.
So, I am dreaming, wishing and believing. Something will work out for me whether Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow on February 2nd or not. Just like spring, my last day had to come eventually.
Love this. LOL!
