Day 342 of 366 (of 2024): Just Contemplating My Leaving is a Comfort
As I write this, I am concocting a plan to leave Center F. I figure that in the worst case, I might notify the Center F. sometime in late June or early July that I will not be able to return the following fall. If it comes to that, I might notify the Director when she is on vacation overseas, as she usually is in the summer. In this way, I can skip any goodbyes. By then she will have paid me my final paycheck.
However, I am trying to leave sooner than this if possible. This year, one long-term tutor has already left and another is (or has been on) on an overseas trip. If this person does not return by say, early February, I might consider quitting not long afterwards. I have worked alongside this tutor many times and even attended the work party of the ten-year anniversary of the firm with him. After exchanging some friendly chit-chat with the tutors, I saw him leave through a side door. I guess he was trying to leave as clandestinely as possible. And perhaps this overseas trip was just a ruse to leave the job. I must admit, that is entertaining to think about.
Thinking about leaving does provide me with some comfort. At this point, I am just letting the "wheels spin on their own" and putting minimal effort into the job. If I get fired, so be it. But I do not intend to burn any bridges. Our relationship has always been an amicable one and it might be nice to come back in the future for a session or two. And by future, I mean, maybe five years from now.
